since you asked
current coffee equipment lineup :
GRINDERS
whirleybird blade grinder : on extended loan to coworker
krups $50 burr grinder : closeted and delegated to spice grinding only
zass turkish grinder : mobile grinding
zass box grinder : temporarily gathering dust on behalf of the solis
solis maestro plus : happy to be out of the box for non-espresso grinding duty
rocky : kicking ass for espresso, trying desperately to convince me not to buy a mazzer
ESPRESSO
silvia : recently got her crotch back just for kicks. i think i actually like the crotched portafilter a bit better. not as fun to watch, but seems to make a thicker bodied drink.
dama : hate it. never use it. gathering dust and taking up counterspace. bleah.
gaggia : sold it on ebay. what a mistake!
COFFEE
melitta clarity : rocking my socks. taking up a ton of space. making silvia jealous.
drip cones : can't beat their portability.
3-4 french presses : can't have too many
vacpot : really fun to use, but what with the FP and the clarity it doesn't get used much anymore
2 ibriks : gonna use one this weekend for camp-coffee, oh yes.
whatever else i forgot...
oh yeah, and smokey the roaster and my new SC/TO home-made roaster. plus a crapload of measuring spoons, thermometers, timers, and assorted miscellany.
