While back we had little talk about the barista hustle's auto comb. I did remember seeing one Korean Youtuber interviewing Anthony Douglas and where he actually showed how it works while back. Looks like he put it on a little ahead of time and pulled it out since I couldn't find it but it showed up today on his channel... so I am posting it in case people want to see how that one is used. While the channel is in Korean, Anthony is answering everything in English which should be easy to understand Go to 5 min mark Mod note: split from Weber Moonraker?

I love the part where Anthony is spinning the AutoComb and all you hear are barista's oohs and aahs!

Does Anthony Douglas understand Korean? They are asking him in Korean and he answers in English. Or did they edit out the portion of translator telling him in English?

They cut out the translator, there appears to be a lot of jump cuts including his answers. You can hear the translator speak when the camera is focused on the espresso pour, they couldn't cut that out without ruining the shot, I guess. He does appear to speak some Korean, though.

Even for a prototype that looks...interesting. Maybe that works for a coffee shop but it seems a bit much for the domestic setting. Have to give credit to Weber no one can seem to match their design and finish details.

Much in the overall size? If so, I see many home baristas using big commercial grinders.

As for the design, Moonmoneyraker isn't depth adjustable (on the fly) so I'll disagree on that.

He understood quite a bit of korean. Sounded like his S.O. is korean. In fact the host was joking about the translator not being needed.

True but not always best for the home barista, specially if wifey has anything to say about kitchen counter space!

Not so fast, I thought so too, but the 20 needles are of three differing lengths...so this concept just might satisfy the depth aspect. We will see.

Besides the counter space (I think the height is more noticeable), the price will get wifey upset.

After seeing the operation speed of BH AutoComb vs Moonmoneyraker, the shops will likely favor the former because it's so fast.
