There is a history of audio companies making coffee gear, too. Versalab used to make the Versa Dynamics turntable. Excellent table even if it was over $8,000 back in the 1980s. https://www.versalab.com/GRINDER.html- slefty

Travel with an Aeropress, and vacuum seal individual pre-ground 17 gram doses. As long as the room has a microwave to heat up some bottled water you're all set. Best setup there is for someone who travels a lot. Still looking for a small portable electric pot though.- slefty

Get the large. It works fine for smaller amounts, but lets you make you up to about 18 ounces if you need it. I make a 14 ounce mugful in the mornings with mine, but have made great 8 ounce cups for my wife with it too. just adjust the amount of coffee accordingly.- slefty

Agreed on the Clever Dripper, it is an excellent device. I use one almost every day. My other favorite single cup brewer is the Aeropress. I use the Clever on weekday mornings (I use a larger mug on workdays) and the Aeropress on the weekends. For the Clever I use 25 grams of coffee with 418...- slefty

there are many videos on youtube about using the aeropress, though many make it seem more complex that it needs be. If I find a short but good one I'll post a link.- slefty

I would highly recommend you consider an Aeropress. They last forever, make great coffee and when the rubber plunger wears out they will mail you a new one for about $6 if you call them and ask. I recommend the inverted method, and a little trial and error with grind, temp (lower than you would...- slefty

or you might consider one of these: https://www.versalab.com/COFFEE.html years ago they made one of the best turntables ever built. https://www.versalab.com/VERSA%20DYNAMICS.html https://www.psaudio.com/article/versa-dynamics/ I got to meet John Bicht a few times, and he was quite the...- slefty

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
All Zu speakers do very well with low powered amps. All are upper 90s to low 100s in efficiency and tend to be well above 8 ohms (closer to 12 to 14 if I recall correctly). They do have pretty high power handling capability too. One friend has custom built Zus and switches between a 4 wpc...- slefty

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
That's a beautiful looking amp! Is that a push-pull or a paralleled single ended design? What's the tube complement?- slefty

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I can confirm this from my own experience. One of the best matchups I've had with my Lores has been with an ampandsound Mogwai single-ended amp that puts out about 3 to 4 watts into an 8 ohm load with KT88 tubes (one of the best amps I've heard with my headphone collection too). Yet with their...- slefty

My wife bought the Cafflano at CoffeeCon in LA last year. I like the AeroPress better, and it certainly cleans up faster than the Cafflano, but in a side-by-side comparison, she prefers the unfiltered brew from the Cafflano.- slefty

Not sure if you are serious or joking here. But I imagine a Keurig is far from anything Schiit would produce if they got interested in coffee. Learn a little about brewing coffee, and you will see that almost every aspect of it is done incorrectly with a Keurig (time, temp, coffee/water ratio...- slefty

AeroPress and a Clever Dripper are all you need unless you are making more than one cup at a time. Also have a Cafflano Kompact as my wife prefers coffee without a paper filter and I don't like using a metal filter in my AeroPress. Will be getting a Cafflano Kompresso next time they have them...- slefty
