This seems to good to be true. Granted I have never heard of this company, but am I missing something?

Working my way through a half kilo of Italian roast I bought to try. Not a fan. I will likely go back to robusta eventually

Ive heard of them, I know someone who got a fat bike from them. No issues.
I wouldn’t want an apex 1x, but that’s just me.

My friend who works for a cycling computer company got a call from the bosses that he needs to be in Copenhagen this week to make sure all the devices are set up and working properly for a certain pro team riding kinda of a big deal race that starts there soon.

Cycling related question: Recall I set up my Ultegra R8000 groupset a few months ago and have been quite pleased. I was even bragging that I did not need a chain catcher because it "never" drops a chain.
Now, with a few months a a couple thousand miles on the groupset, the evil eye must have gotten to me because the past two rides I have dropped the chain, a total of only 3 drops but each one is a nuisance. It's dropping when going from big to little chainring, sometimes it drops outright, sometimes the crankset seems to "lock" due to chain wraparound (if that's the right term) as part of the process.
Any suggestions on whether its a tweak adjustment in the chain tension? I know I set up the limit screws etc. perfectly so I had thought that was a once-in-a-lifetime setup but I am unsure what to do to fix this.
Ideas??

On my Ultegra bike the shifting goes bad after this happens if the front derailleur gets moved or bent. The other bike has Chorus and everything tends to come loose on that bike, including the derailleur clamp and even the stop screws. It's been working ok for a while but that thing has been plagued with dropping the chain more than any bike I've had. I shortened the chain a few months ago after discovering the shop that put it on (when I bought the crankset) left it too long.
I also went over the adjustments again and I snug the derailleur clamp often. Just go through it. Check the derailleur position and stop screws again and good luck.

Next great thing - aero cover for your OSPW!
Costs slightly less than a bike.

The "lock" thing is called chainsuck. The ring picks up the chain from the bottom and pulls it up to the frame. I always thought worn rings contributed to this, but yours is all new? When I have had the chain get pulled up like that it sometimes tweaks the derailleur or bends the chain.
On my Ultegra bike the shifting goes bad after this happens if the front derailleur gets moved or bent. The other bike has Chorus and everything tends to come loose on that bike, including the derailleur clamp and even the stop screws. It's been working ok for a while but that thing has been plagued with dropping the chain more than any bike I've had.

I have the same gen RD but in 105 form, and from what I understand they are essentially identical in the way they set up and are adjusted. I'm always having to tweak mine to hit the sweet spot. It never seems to be "set and forget."

I have experienced chain suck once in my cycling career. Henceforth, and for the past 14 years, there will be precious little shifting. Likely not an issue going forward.
Good luck sorting it out

Follow-up question - is it the inner limit screw or chain tension that seems to be the bad actor? Asking for a friend.

The limit screws move a bit on my Chorus. Also, I found a video on youtube with good instructions on setting the tension and chain length. It's a video from Campagnolo.

Also, on a muddy ride the chainsuck is terrible.
To me, this is the big advantage of a 1x set up. No chainsuck in wet conditions.

My big frustration is the FD rubbing on the chain despite the trim positions. That said, I avoid big/big and small/small. I'm always having to make little adjustments to keep it where I like it with respect to the most frequently used sections of the cassette.
