Perhaps the sort of aficionado who will shell out $365 for a coffee brewer is the sort who wants to pick their own grinder?

I'm glad they didn't as I would suddenly make it of no interest, many of us already have. Also it's better for them to sell you two pieces of equipment than one

So I gave up trying to fix my bes920 and went out and bought a brand new machine today. I must be cursed because this new machine is gurgling too. As soon as you press either the 1 or 2 cup buttons, you hear gurgling for several seconds before a steady flow of water starts coming out fron the brew

Seeing them up close sitting out in the open in the trier scoop under good light gives you a more accurate impression of their color and surface texture compared to watching them behind a thick piece of glass swirling by in a dark drum... At least that's what I think. YMMV

Rotary pumps can be loud too, but a different kind of sound less irritating than a vibe pump. Mine is silent mostly because my pump is done like commercial machines...

Watch the containers on the shelf. Near San Francisco I've found both the "good" and "not so good" sources intermingled on the same shelf. I used CG for a while, then shifted to distilled from Whole Foods at $0.49 / gallon using one-gallon glass jugs with polyseal caps. With 1000 ppm concentrates for GH and KH I can custom mix

I'm so looking forward to it ! Is it way quieter than the version reviewed on YouTube ? Does it stall ?

In Rob's case, I don't think so. He is concerned with inlet temperature not being excessive and manages that with high airflow to distribute heat through the roasting chamber. In my fluid bed roaster, I don't do a maximum load so that the air will freely circulate through the bean mass. With my 1 Kg drum roaster, I have
