Most assuredly. Today I acclimate to the time difference (KLM flight left at 2pm and arrived at midnight, San Francisco time, which is a disastrous bit of scheduling on the airline's part in terms of sleep). Tomorrow I see Beety 2 and the Immolation Scene at the Concertgebouw. Friday I see the Rietveld Schroder House in Utrecht and then New Moves at the national opera/ballet. Saturday, a new ballet (premiered 2015) doing the Tristan and Isolde story, music by Szymon Brzóska. Sunday I see Tales of Hoffmann. Monday I'm off to Berlin! Hoping to see some good parks while I'm here.

Definitely worth the visit. If you have time enough, I believe that only couple of hundred meters away is a university building designed by Rem Koolhaas. Also nice to have a look at.

OMG!! OK. Maybe it's just me, but for that price it needs to roast, grind, brew, pour my coffee, bring it to me in the bedroom, and then finish the coffee drinking experience with a 'Happy Ending' -- EVERY MORNING for the REST OF MY LIFE!! :astonished:

Reminds me of my old Rabco, ST-4 I think was the designation.
Robocop yes?
Mahlkonig is about as good as it gets. But at that price I`d get 2 of these:

In yellow! A friend of mine owns one and it`s endgame material. It has 71mm conical grinders and grinds at very low speed so you don`t heat your coffee while grinding.
Preserves the flavour really well.
Milkshakes and smoothies too?

At least with EK43, you never need to install a USB driver.

However, you do need to weigh the beans before you stick them in. There's no weighing gadgetry built in.

Also, I've found a scale I can recommend! It does tenths of a gram:
