South Florida specialty coffee shops

It's crazy to me that people are complaining of the coffee here. It's not too bad anymore. Several years ago it was completely devoid, and now places are springing up all over.

Advice for more flavorful/fragrant roasts?

Aillio R1 no longer for sale at Sweet Maria's?

Compak K10 WBC vs Kinu M68 (electric or hand conical burr grinder)

Loving my new Smart Plug for my espresso machine.

Yep, I couldn't find one either. I've been using the Labovon Wifi Smart Plug for a few weeks. It so nice waking up or coming home to a ready machine. Mine has a setting to set up schedules too
