Sniff said: So my solution for you is: have a cup of inst be back at the roaster in minute Or alternatively, just accept that you are over all this upgraditis and messing around with home roasting. Pick up some good beans from a local roaster, a simple pourover (the choice of champions) and enjoy. 😉 As for Breville marketing, I remain impressed by how well the pre launch of the BDB has gone. Many coffee geeks/snobs/tragics know a lot about the product, are emotionally engaged and some have even bought one, despite it not yet being available. I don't recall anyone from Breville ever saying that the BDB would be made available to specialist retailers first, in fact throughout the process, it seemed like this was a product which was intended to be sold by volume retailers and still provide a good user experience (e.g. Factory testing, warranty support, usability). The only time I remember being told that specialist retailers had any kind of early access was by one of the retailers themselves, who said that my local appliance shop wont have one until well after they do, which surprised me slightly at the time. This now appears to be wishful thinking on their part. I am glad the folks from Breville have chosen to participate in this forum and hope they hang around post launch when things get really interesting.
