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!
