I thought about that. I am going to give it a shot at least. I haven't removed the gauge yet. I am going to see if some glue works first. And that video link was really helpful. I appreciate that

Maybe, but I'm sure they have a thermal model of the device to calculate an approximate offset. I doubt it's pure fiction

If there's any delay in returning, I would ask the roasters about how long after roast the coffees become stale enough that they'd offer poor resistance

Looking at the parts diagram at {link} I only see a temperature sensor associated with the boiler. If that is the case, the "brew temperature" indication is a fiction that probably has only marketing value

I think I'm going to get on the pre-order. The cold brew feature is awesome, and having to just fill one big tank vs. the exact amount of water is time is a really attractive feature for me

Perhaps a new fermentation process using natto
