Similarly, I love the aroma when visiting El Molino, in Ybor City near
Tampa. A small roaster serving Cuban restaurants. Once in a while I'll
order online, now that I've moved away, but it's not as good as getting
dark roast that was roasted earlier that same day.

It comes back to the same thing as bikes.
You can get around on a BSO from Wal-Mart.
You can get around on a low-end aluminum big-bike maker hybrid.
You can ride what the pros ride.
You can go Surly/All-City/Salsa.
You can go econoclastic Rivendell.
You can go custom.
And much much more.
Beautiful!

I understand the sentiment, Ron. I am frankly as surprised as you, if not

explanation. Adrenaline rushes are bad for my brain. They release

the sentiment is mostly humor, Deac. If I were purchasing decaf, it would

Durability seems pretty good. I have had one flat on the Atlantis and a

course...).
A good electric grinder will easily cost several hundred dollars.
Commercial grinders go neat $1k if not over.
I much prefer a manual as personally I would rather not use electricity if
there is a feasible alternative. The problem with many of the less
