Ok, now I'm dying for a God Shot from photomax's gear and Eriksquire's beans! If I head down this path as much as audio my wife will definitely take notice. Tea drinker. I'll have to live vicariously for now. But yeah, grind is most important. Erik I know you're a DIY guy... about what does it take in cost to dabble in roasting? Maybe after I get rid of my beer-making gear. I laterally mentioned this to her today.
OT: Espresso machines
I know this is off topic for the A'gon, but I thought my fellow gear enthusiasts had an opinion. I'm looking for a simple, narrow espresso machine. Reliability is important. I have a Nespresso Vertuo which I really like but lately I've been roasting my own coffee and wanted a more traditional machine.
Opinions?
