Tahoejoe, you need to step it up a notch at the conventions; you are way to calm and staid; cut it loose my friend.  <big wink>

So let us ponder Joe's progression: first a roaster, then a drip brewer, then.......

I predict a grinder.

...or a roaster with the level of control people have been begging for and upgrading away from their Behmor 1600's to find for far too long now?

I am glad you have a coffee maker, but as a Behmor roaster owner, I would like to see a kit or something to record profiles, temps, etc and give additional control when needed.

Understood but between attorneys, insurance companies, ETL, UL, GS and CE...it ain't all that easy to give users what they want due to a few Darwin Award winner wannabees

OK, it ain't easy but it ain't impossible either - I hope you sell a million coffee makers and then come back to give attention to what gave you your voice - what are these guys doing that exposes them to any more liability than your current roaster?

When somebody makes an "affordable" (whatever that is) cool grinder capable of espresso and easy switching to drip their name will be imortalized in the espresso hall of fame.

I'm not so sure if the Pharos is cool or if its labratorial in a 1950's monster movie sort of way...

But in any event I mean with power.  8)

Eric.. with all due respect..it's easy to build what has already been approved (current HotTop or Behmor 1600) until you revise to a new model or make program changes.. then you are forced to seek new approvals and meet the newest standards. I more than anyone know who does what and when and I also know what the limitations are since it is front and center with me everyday.
 
Lastly ..no one understands better than I the role users/ customers make to my world, nor does anyone appreciate them more than I and to infer to the contrary or to infer that I don't listen is insulting..

Walk a day in my shoes and you would have not written what you did..

ps.. I can and do multi-task
