Looking at picking both of these up in the near future and noticed that we've done group buys in the past. Anyone else interested in this? Grinder is ~$120 (brushed chrome, don't want the plastic one), brewer is ~$200.
Grinder looks like it's better than the Maestro plus (not doing espresso, personally) and the only yellow flag with the Technivorm carafe is a wide pour. Going to purchase both on Friday if nobody posts :-D
