Would you consider this a blemish? Was sold at full price. It's very obvious and draws the eye immediately.

Yes.
It looks like the reamer overlapped.
Probably just a QC miss but considering the price point I'd ask for a replacement.

Mine also arrived with the same mark in the same area. I am unsure whether to email Ben

Hello,
This is completely normal and something that cannot be removed without polishing etc. Same as the line on the wall directly opposite it.
Its a result of the end mill clening up the floor of the grinder. Other manafacturers have the same mark.
Every Aroma grinder has this mark from day 1. It's not a result of poor QC. It's part of the machining process.
Sorry for the non ideal answer.

Every single one mate
if it puts you at ease. Here is another high end grinder with the exact same mark.

I have two Old Mate Designs Aroma-3 both have the circular mark in the bottom and a line opposite. I assumed this to be normal part of the maurfacturing process.
Still wondering why both my grinders came in black bubble wrap instead of fancy boxes like in his latest video ?

Thanks for the support!
The OMD boxes are a new thing. I am always looking to improve my process and quality and got tired of the bubble wrap.
I also have fancy seals for them on the way.
Heres a pic of the seals.
If you ever purchase from me again, i would be happy to send a box (or two) for you.
