I still see it on CL. Asking price is $2500. Mill City had new ones on ebay for $2550 in 2013, but they're not common enough to easily determine a fair price. I've looked all over and just can't find evidence of any transactions of them in the last 5 years to compare. I think I'm a buyer more around $1900, assuming that it's in lightly used, exceptional condition as the seller has described.Assuming you didn't get this - looks like it's now posted as "Expired".
I couldn't see it but if the price was similar to the Bullet I absolutely would not have gotten the Mill City one. I can't imagine the power is as responsive as the Bullet's induction system, plus the capacity is half the size.
On the other hand, if you DID get it...congrats! Hahahaha.
Batch size is a non-issue for me with the ability to do a few batches back to back in a timely fashion. It has less power and would be less responsive than the bullet. However, it is FAR more robust. I don't think I can expect any support or parts from Mill City or North, but I would bet that I could use that roaster for the next 25 years and if anything breaks, be able to get it fixed with generally available parts. The bullet hardware is too specialized for that. I can't help but say that it's like a Kal clone electric homebrew system compared to a picobrew z4.
Yep, two batches. First batch was too dark, didn't get much origin flavor out of it. Second batch was much nicer. Wasn't crazy about it as a SO espresso though.Anyone try that microlot Columbian for GCBC yet??
