I finally saw this thread, though I haven't read through it all. Some months ago I found a small roastery that I pass regularly on my way through Delaware, and I stopped to sample his coffee. It seems really good, utterly different from the grocery-store and Starbucks coffee that I'm used to. I used to use a blade grinder years ago to grind beans, but got sick of the noise and gave up grinding and just went with standard bagged coffee. Having tried a much better quality of coffee now, I recently got a ROK grinder so that I can grind beans on my own. Now coffee tastes great and making it pleases me a lot! I need to get a decent coffee maker next. I looked around, and my thoughts are leading toward a Kitchen-Aid siphon coffee maker, does anyone have any thoughts on or experience with it? Sorry if it has been discussed earlier.

so has thermoblock technology come far enough along that it's on par with a sweet fat brass boiler? Does heat transfer to the portafilter? That is a neat looking machine, but so was the Francis Francis.

Scaramouche posted:Hah ha! Remember when I said this? We had someone bring in a Sette 270 (non-W) and it's got crazy static. Not in the bin, in the actual grinder head itself. It looks crazy, almost like coffee is flowing back up into the grinder. I thought the big static problem was beans to hopper/grounds to bin, have you guys run across static so bad it can't even get out of the grinder head? The repair techs are handling it but I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else has seen it. I have static on my manual ROK grinder, but never so bad that the coffee can't get out. Seems to be worse with lighter roast / drier beans vs. darker roast / oilier beans.

RichterIX posted:I was just curious-- what's the going rate for a bag of coffee for your local roasters? I'm in Indianapolis and I'm generally paying $15-$18 for a 12oz bag, which is okay because I don't go through it very fast but it does seem loving expensive. In NW NJ I pay $13 - $17 per pound of coffee at my local roastery.

A goon-owned coffee roastery in NJ got a good write up! He sells through SAmart. https://www.nj.com/food/2022/04/njs-best-coffee-roaster-is-hidden-in-south-jersey-national-site-says.html
