I ordered 3 different coffees from 3 different roasters, including Redbird espresso, for purposes of evaluating my own roasting skills, so I will be able to tell you if I get spraying or not...if you want to wait a couple days ;-)



I have e37s on same circuit with 1300 watt/120v element and no issues.
Thanks Joe. My timeline is no earlier than May 1, maybe longer if I go for the K30. The budget comes down in part to my wife; I believe in 'buy once, cry once' so the extra $500, while a substantial amount of money, won't be missed in a few months time unless I had that money earmarked for something else. But if my better half says $1k is "enough" for a grinder, I don't think the E37s will make me unhappy.
