Thanks for the input on this! I’m trying to gauge if the a switch would be worth getting.
If I was buying for the first time or replacing a broken Clever, I’d probably get the Hario, as it seems like it can do a little more. For now, it sounds like the benefit may not justify the cost.
I’m in NW Oregon, with lots of great roasters in the area. But honestly, I’ve been home roasting so long that I feel like I have no idea what–if any–good new ones might be out there. So it’s hard to say that my older favorites are really the best.
With that caveat, Upper Left and Nossa Familia in Portland, and Relevant in Vancouver (WA) were my old favorites. Looks like they’re all still there, so I’ll put my vote in for those 3.
