Thanks, great video, very clear.
A little obsessed.

I'm interested in purchasing the CT2. I see it says the water pathway is lined with stainless steel. Does no water contact bronze anywhere? If it does, is the bronze lead-free?

Correct the CT2 is all stainless. The brass and copper which is on the portafilter, surrounds the stainless brew cylinder, and the top funnel is all lead free as well.

Great, going to order today. Looks like 2 weeks lead time. How long it usually take to ship from Holland to the US?

Are there any must have items I should order on the website along with the CT2 besides a maintenance kit?

Nothing I would really say is necessary but an extra shower screen wouldn't hurt in case you mess yours up getting it off for cleaning. Also you should get a funnel but I don't know if I would necessarily get the Strietman one because of how short it is, I'm a big fan of my Sworks funnel personally.

I ordered the CT2 with European Walnut, two maintenance kits and two extra shower screens. I did not order the Strietman funnel, as like you, I think I will prefer the Sworks magnetic funnel.

What grinders are you guys using with your Striemans? It seems to find something that wouldn't clash looks wise with the Strietman.

I have mine next to a blacked out Monolith with matching wood cap, though the 'microscope' look isn't for everyone. Personally my favorite grinders on the market aesthetically apart from this are the Lagom P64 and Olympia Moca SD.

Ignore how dusty the Striet is, I cleaned it right after.
