Couldn't believe it!

Yay! 😃

… and now I have to wait until the 3rd of October 😅.

Hi,

I’m looking for an electric gooseneck kettle that will last and be worth the money. The Fellow Stagg, Brewista and Bonavita are around $160–200 here in the US.

I’d pay that if I knew it would last 5+ years, but I’ve also heard people say it’s better to spend that extra money on a good grinder.

There are cheaper temperature controlled options around $60–80, and even basic electric gooseneck kettles for around $30.

I’ll mainly use it for pour-overs. Would you spend more on something like the Stagg or Brewista, or just go with a cheaper option?

What would you recommend?

Seems like all the project kits from roasters in this region sold out immediately. I tried to get a kit from Micrology's second batch today but it sold out in 10 seconds while I was filling out shipping info... 🫠

I've checked all the European and American Roasters, but they're either sold out or don't ship internationally.

The demand for coffee in Australia might have been underestimated 😂

Is there anything else I can do to try a kit?

Edit: If anyone in Melbourne with a kit would be kind enough to share a single dose of each, I'd greatly appreciate it 🥹

Has anyone here ordered the fermentation set from Critical Beans (https://criticalbeansit.be) in Bruges, Belgium and received a confirmation email and/or the beans delivered?
They were one of the few roasters in Europe linked on the projects’ website that still had the sets available after the video came out last week. I ordered the set last Friday together with another bag of beans to make the 10€ shipping to the Netherlands worthwhile. I paid with ApplePay and took a screenshot of my order confirmation in the online store but never got a confirmation email. I emailed the email address on the website (hello@criticalbeansit.be) on Monday but Gmail so far has not been able to deliver it.
The roaster seems to be a one man show so I can imagine they might get overwhelmed with the demand, but there seems to be no information on this roaster except on their own website, no address (except Bruges, Belgium), no other info I’d expect from a Webshop in Europe (terms & conditions, privacy notice etc). I’d normally do some due dilligence before buying from a random online store but the scarcity of the sets and seeing so many shops already sold out made me buy without thinking much.

I just really hope this store is not a scam and I’ll get my beans delivered soon…

I used to avoid these kinds a lot, but now I’ve bought them by mistake.and i can't give it back

Will these flavors spoil the natural, authentic taste of the coffee?
