Did the previous version not come with one? They for sure had one available since you can see a different looking one on the alternativebrewing video that's on the campaign as well as any current product listings.

For sure. To be honest, even if it's end of CY23Q1, it'd be well within my expectations even though they initially said septemberish given all the things happening around the world. Would obviously like it sooner though At least I should be early in the list if they go in order

Not going to bother with a picture because pictures of roasts don't really show anything of value. First impressions using default profile set to roast level 2.5 (med-light), default level is 3 (med): 1. Not having to pick out chaff by hand rules. No beans entered the chaff collector and no free chaff was left with the beans. 2. Very even roast, though I believe this is typical of air roasting 3. Seems to handle its max listed capacity (120g) just fine. Total time was about 7-8minutes heating, 4 minutes cooling 4. Nice that I can actually reasonably do lighter roasts 5. It's really loud, which probably shouldn't be surprising. 6. Wish the cord was a bit longer. Like even a foot longer would make a big difference for being able to empty the thing easier without having to unplug it. I haven't bothered with their software thing yet. My previous method was a stovetop popcorn popper which isn't the most precise of instruments.

There are way more options now, and I think the skerton is probably a waste of money at this point since there are many better options at similar or not too much higher price points. Just about anything from 1zpresso is good, though you have to navigate their models to find what you actually want, and in some cases (e.g. x-pro) finding a retailer that will actually sell you one. On the cheaper side, kingrinder is like a lower budget and/or knockoff (???) version of 1zpresso, which itself is arguably copying the commandante. From what I've read kingrinder does lose some features like being able to adjust the zero point on the adjustment ring, but it's also substantially cheaper. Even lower than that, I think people have generally liked the timemore c2.

ZP6 was the pourover one. It's exactly $200. The only other cheaper options probably worth considering from 1zpresso for pourover are the X Pro or Q2, the first of which needs to be imported if you're in the US. I got mine from a canadian shop. While the X can calibrate its external adjustment ring, it can only do so in increments of a couple clicks at a time, where I feel like the K-max can do so within single clicks, but it's ultimately not the biggest of deals.

eke out posted:- my heating element died roast #17, but they responded quickly and immediately sent a replacement unit without any hassle, no complaints my heating element went out even earlier, and that's counting the setup "roast," and I'm pretty sure I've heard other people having this issue too. I wonder what's the deal with it...maybe the whole "turn it upside down and shake to get beans out reliably" might not be doing it any favors. Hopefully they figure something out at some point because dying in under 20 roasts is pretty bad. Other than that, my least favorite part about it is the whole "pick up the entire roaster and invert/shake to empty" step.

If anyone cares, 1zpresso is selling the X-Pro for the US market now. I like mine well enough for what I paid to a canadian retailer, but 1z has the j-max on sale for the same/cheaper price, and I think you'd be crazy not to get that instead unless you want something smaller.

A manual grinder for 14-16oz is probably like 40 seconds of grinding depending on a bunch of things like grind size and how fast you're turning the thing

My understanding is that the encore *can* grind fine enough, especially if you use the little calibration thing they have inside it at the finest setting, but its steps are pretty large for espresso so you might have only 1 or 2 clicks that work remotely well, and its distribution isn't necessarily the most consistent. Maybe good enough, maybe not depending on your standard of good enough also *points at thread title*

Glockamole posted:I was thinking about getting into roasting lately. 8 oz of coffee gets me through 10+ days, for context of how much coffee I drink. Are there any glaring reasons not to try an SR800? Depends on if you will want the extended roast chamber, either the official extension tube or aftermarket like razzo roasting, since they make things easier even if you're not roasting more than the stated capacity of the standard chamber. Once you buy one of those, especially the razzo one, it cuts pretty heavily into the value proposition of the sr800 vs something more expensive.

I'm not sure there's really been much new/interesting in the $100 range in the last decade other than hand grinders, and the capresso remains sub-100

It's a messed up naming thing. It definitely was called geisha at certain points, but I think the preference is towards calling it gesha these days as they both refer to a name in a different language, but one links it to a japanese thing while the other doesn't.

If you're willing to go up to 250, it may or may not be worth looking at the following as well: 1. Kingrinder K4/K6 if you don't mind hand grinding and want to save money (120-140). These have external adjustment but you cannot reset the zero point unlike many others. 2. 1zpresso Q2 heptagonal if you want something portable want to save money, and don't mind hand grinding (110) 3. 1zpresso K/J/X ultra/max or zp6 depending on your preference if you want a nice hand grinder, (150-200). 4. Baratza encore ESP. It's baratza for better and worse. It can actually do espresso out of the box. $200 5. Turin/MiiCoffee 40mm conical chinese rebranded burr grinder (SD/SK/D40). 150-200ish right now on preorder, presumably arriving soon since it's waiting for customs clearance. This one is only just now coming the US market, so it's not clear how many teething issues it will have like the DF64 had, but it's seemingly been very well received by youtubers. The stepless versions of these can do espresso. 6. Fellow ode. Maybe you can find one of these closer to $250. Whole latte love has it listed at 300 and there's one amazon listing at 289. 7. Fellow Opus. $200

This afternoon the baristas at my local place were discussing the owner’s most recent price change that took their cheap blend bag from $16 to $18.50, or the old price for their better single origin bags. Whatever beans I order from sweet marias + equipment deprecation and like 3 cents of electricity

Let's be real, the money going back to growers is probably minimally different between buying it from a roaster and sweet marias. The price difference is mostly going to the roasters, distributors, and their landlords.
