Loved that your reply on the fs link is in German . Since it is closed I assume you bought the MC6? What are the odds an almost brand new grinder came available in your country with extras and correct power configuration? Sometimes the stars are aligned

Or it's that new cutting edge coffee substitute made from baked beans?

FYI for Canadians: the pre-order is now live at EightOunce in Calgary. $499CAD (same price as the Ratio 6). No free coffee, but a very good USD:CAD exchange rate and about $10 in points off a future purchase from EightOunce (if you sign up to EightOunce's loyalty program). {link}

Hi Patsy. I don't have arthritis but have mentioned having similar issues with the cap. I think a one inch "lever" screwed unto the timber part of the knob would help. Something like a small stainless steel knob should give you the leverage required. {link}

Huge in what way, the price, complexity or something else?

This is why I quit roasting when my behmor broke. I wanted to upgrade but the jump to the next level is huge

Wow, very interesting!!

I don't have experience with the Skywalker roaster but I'm interested in it. I've watched a few videos of it on YouTube. It does seem to work pretty well based on what I've seen and some reading I've done on homeroasters.org. I don't think it would have a UL approval or anything similar so caveat emptor and all

Yep, I've been working with him. He was able to make me a new steam pipe needle valve and housing. I also got the basket and drip pan from him. He's about 2 hours from my house I got it all up and running and had a nice latte today

I caught Ross on Discord and he mentioned that he's got a tool that they used when some of the caps were coming too tight. If you reach out to Odyssey support they should be able to help with a functional solution
