I probably go through 2oz of coffee in a week (at most), so it wouldn't be very good for me... yet. If I ever get into espresso like you guys, I'd consider getting the roaster to save money. *sigh* If only I could justify an espresso setup... (I'm not really fond of the current "budget" offerings though, I need something with the build quality of a Silvia and the steaming power of a Solis SL-70. Grinder would be a macap or mazzer.)

EDIT: I ordered a Maestro Plus refurb from Baratza about two hours ago, hope I don't get buyer's remorse.

Thanks! I'm going to order the Bodum Columbia press once the grinder ships out. (I'm weird, don't ask)

Since this is a thread about "coffee gadgets" I don't think I'm going off topic when I ask, "What kind of coffee do you guys drink" (I mean brand).

I only stick with Micro Roasters, when I lived in South Florida there was The Roasted Bean that was local, and San Giorgio (looks like San Giorgio is now San Marco and running in Nc now)

If I ordered online I usually used St Ives coffee in Gainesville Georgia. One of the best microroasters is supposed to be Intelligentsia, but I never got around to ordering from them.

If your ever in Key West Fl, try Baby's Coffee I stopped in there a few times when I was down there a few years ago. Hair of the Dog will definitely get your day going

my favorite place to buy green coffee beans these days is green coffee buying club
