The Brazens are on the way, who are you thinking of ordering from?
And who is  http://brazencoffeebrewer.com/ ?

I am sure that is Joe's site.  Registered via proxy:  http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/brazenbrewer.com

The CoffeeProject keeps a list of those who want one.  He drove up to Oakland (from Hollywood) when the Behmor first came out to be the first to have his hands on the roaster.  Not sure if he is planning that with the Brazen.

I'm surprised they're not taking prepaid orders?

This is an email I received on 8/13. I posted it on another board on this site.

Eric,

First of all thank you for the email:

Current data as of this morning have the brewers just starting in production w/ 3rd party inspections scheduled for the 20th. If past history (almost 5 years) of our roaster manufacturing is used as a valid indicator this would put brewers in the hands of distributors 30 days from then. The lone caveat being DHS/ Customs. They can and do at times hold a shipment for further inspection.

As to pre-orders, I've requested none be taken until I know with 100% certainty they brewers are on the water. That should occur in about 10-12 days then they would be free to do so. I just like being cautious.


Thanks again for writing.

Best regards
Joe Behm

Roastmasters has a 17% savings on the Brazen, bringing the total to 199.00.  Certainly better pricing then the $250 I had heard.

Anyone else think the Gort would make a good canidate for a traveling road show?

[ScareYourPassenger]

I am game, I would like to face it off against my Technivorm and see if it is worth it.

[RobertL]

I would pay $20 for a week to play with the Brazen.

No question it'll kick my Bunn's butt, so there was nothing stopping me from pulling the trigger (esp. with four regular coffee drinkers in the house).  I think Joe said the minimum was half a pot, anything less and I'd be using the Chemex anyway, this bad boy's for brewing pots not cups.

That is the nice thing about the Technivorm. It has the ability to adjust the flow rate for half pots.

Started a road show thread.

[Tex]

I have a TV and a Bunn VPR-APS brewer available, so I'm hoping to do real side-by-side temp & taste tests when the Road Show Gort gets to me.

Order placed with Roastmasters along with a free 1# bag of Ethiopia Kochere roasted by Willoughby's Coffee and Tea.

I just got out of the backcountry and noticed a 19-hour old email on my phone from Roastmasters announcing the preorder opening. I was a little disappointed and now must wonder how many, like Yankster, got their order in before mine. I did pull off to the side of the road and preorder mine as soon as the cell coverage was stable.
