Brazen Coffee Brew System (aka Gort) Traveling Road Show

[headchange4u]

I just got notification that our Gort has shipped!

[ScareYourPassenger]

woohoo! I am a bit scared I might want to upgrade from the Technivorm though..

[JW]

You can take me off the roadshow list as I couldn't wait (childishly impulsive) and bought one. Test runs are looking very positive.

Oooh oooh - can you swap out JW with me?  I've never actually used a drip machine before    I will reimburse JW for the cost.

That's fine with me. I will let you two work out the details. Just let me know when and if you come to an arrangement.

[Tex]

Maybe I'll auction one of my weeks off too? Proceeds to go to a worthy cause - cause I'm broke?

[JW]

Jano is a friend of mine. It is absolutely ok with me if he takes my spot. Him and I will work out the details.
Thanks Jason

Did it arrive?

[headchange4u]

Nope. Have no idea what you are talking about. No awesome coffee brewing system at my house. ;p

I think I may have posted in the other thread. More details later. Feeling a bit under the weather the past couple of days.

[jbviau]

Ha! Oops, I'd missed that. Hope you feel better soon.

Gort is making its way to me in Baltimore with an ETA of Friday. Looking forward to the weekend already!

[jbviau]

Update: it's here and in fine shape. Brewed my first pot this afternoon using 900 ml and 50 g. of coffee in the mesh filter at 202. Very nice! I was impressed with the virtually sediment-free cup, which was "cleaner" than even the Trifecta's--and that's saying something. As has been mentioned already here and elsewhere, drippage post-basket removal is an issue. Let's see how the wife and mother-in-law react to Gort over the weekend. My son already loves it since it looks like a rocket!

I jumped the gun and bought a TV KBT-741 from Costco, so I'll skip evaluating the BraZen.

I would still be very interested in a side by side evaluation if you are willing. We looked at the TV really hard. The only thing that sold us on the Brazen was elevation calibration and living at almost 5000 feet.
