I also have an automatic grind-then-drip system.
You would have got on well with my late F-I-L. He travelled extensively and
collected all manner of coffee making equipment from all over the world and
was very happy when he discovered the first domestic coffee roaster.
However, despite enjoying every type from Turkish (he bought the pot in
Ankara) to drip, he maintained that the Kona vacuum system made the most
enjoyable.
My ex and I received a Kona for a wedding present but when the upper part
broke, we had a helluva job getting a replacement. The first one in had too
long a tbe and the store owner tried to cut it down with disastrous
results.
