Actually, I haven't ordered coffee in months, just been working through my green beans. Not a bad thing, there's some awesome stuff in there! However, my local place sent me an email coupon, since I hadn't been by for awhile, so I picked up this Kenya yesterday. It's good.

Good news / bad news. Glad they replaced it, but too bad it failed.
There are a LOT of new machines on the scene, but it's hard to beat a 'Vorm. They are
really well made, but as I found out, if anything goes wrong, the ONLY thing you can do is send it in, to
The Netherlands. I managed to fix the borosilicate glass tube on my own, but finding the correct sized metric tube was not terribly easy. Nobody to blame but myself, I tore it apart to clean it well and te tube rolled off the table...
They are essentially as close as you can get to an automated pour over IMO. I like to fill it up and "pause" it, and let the coffee steep (like a press) for a couple extra minutes. It's a bit more work, you have to babysit it so it doen't overflow, and the basket only holds about half what the pot do (so you have to do this
twice in a single pot), but it makes a killer good cup!!!
I think the extra work is worth the resulting cup.
