Did you know when a cowboy wanted a cup of coffee? He had to buy green coffee beans and Roast them in a skillet on a campfire. Then grind them just to have a cup of coffee., around 1850 the first one pound coffee bag came out by the Arbuckle Bros.
Just switched from Super Crema to this Gold Filtro.
I detect a little chocolate when I use half and half.
Tomorrow I'll go back to milk so I can better compare the two coffees. It seems a good change of pace. I like them both.

Opened a new 2 lb Tim Horton's red bag this morning. It's still my DD of choice. Have never seen any other <$10 lb. coffee that is Arabica hard beans from elevation. When you grind these it is just like premium coffee with little to no dust/Chaffe in the grounds chamber.

I've found these superautomatic espresso/coffee machines fascinating ever since I frequented our group's HQ in Erbenheim, Germany when I was working. Espresso, double shots, cappuccino if desired...all with the press of a button. That one in our office was a commercial machine with a direct water supply, inline filter, etc...
A few years ago, Tchibo, a German coffee company, came out with a residential market version.
Limited-time deal: Tchibo Single Serve Coffee Maker - Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine - Built-in Grinder, No Coffee Pods Needed - Comes with 2 x 17.6 Ounce Bags of Whole Beans https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZTJQQTT?tag=tvwb-20
It goes on sale frequently for $300.
In researching further, I found this from Whole Latte Love:

It is $300 for a refurbished and the reviews for the refurbished ones are excellent overall. They are $450 new.
This would sit on the counter of our beach house kitchen where we have a bit of counter space.
I know these machines do not like oily beans so I'd be getting coffee from somewhere besides Costco...although I think the Mayorga Cubano roast Costco carries could be just fine but we're close to several places I can get whole bean coffee from so that's not a concern.
I just ordered the Gaggia Brera silver. $317 delivered. Should be here by the end of the week.
