I used to own the kitchenaid artisan dual boiler 15 odd years ago which was fancy looking but the internals were just two gaggia units, no end of issues with it so was quite glad when it finally went pop, also owned the kitchenaid artisan grinder which was also fancy looking but rather shit.

I drink my coffee with nonfat milk and no sugar.

If your taste-buds prefer non-fat or low-fat milk; that is one thing.
But if your decision to stay away from whole-milk (for your morning pleasure) is with the reasoning that whole-milk is "bad" for your health... I hope you won't mind me reminding you the old adage about "All in Moderation"?

We get Verena Street - Mississippi Grogg whole bean and grind it daily and use a bunn drip, usually 2 cups black and 3rd cup I add collagen peptides, a dash of cinnamon and a little whole milk.

Verena Street is a good roaster, fine value. It's what we drink. Alas, cost of the 2 lb. bags at HyVee is up about 30% from last winter, ugh. Hoping it comes down a bit if the tariffs get eased - I am not sure where they source their beans from.
I believe 50% Brazil tariffs have just become active. So USA importers of Brazilian coffee will have to pay 50% to US government.
I wouldn’t expect coffee prices to go down in America.

It's not political or tariff related, but I crossed-out the Brazilian coffee beans from our menu list.
Ditto for most Colombian varieties.
Mostly a subjective decision but after about the 8 varieties of Brazilian brews that I had tried; they never impressed.
There are so many diverse and/or regional coffee beans -at near same price-point- that I cut my losses with Brazilian beans.
After 6 years of pulling espresso shots, my favorite beans are those from Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region, in a medium roast.
Again, imo and subjective, with limited sampling.
I haven't a clue either
but they sure make our mornings delicious.Few months ago, I ordered 5 pounds of my ETH from the amazon marketplace.
What I received must've been over 5months old roasting.
Raised a stink with amazon, about the stale beans I received, lacking a "Roast Date" or a "Sell By" date.
I also mentioned to them that they 'should' consider limiting the "Sell By" date to a maximum of 6 months (from the apparent 12month convention).
I got a full refund and amazon told me to keep beans.
Nah, I pawned off the remainder to friends and family who just like non-espresso brews.
Oddly enough, no one had a negative review; though, they were told in advance what had transpired.
Stones, twigs etc, and bad beans. This hand sorting of green coffee raises quality.
Top Five Objects Found in our Green Beans!
Ever since we started roasting coffee we've been sorting through our beans. Most of the foreign objects tend to be little fragments of stones or concrete which come loose in the sorting or drying processes at the farm. These make it into the bag of beans and are found by our team before the...

Yikes. Beetle and a nut. Although the beetle might add that ‘certain something’ to the flavour.Stones, twigs etc, and bad beans. This hand sorting of green coffee raises quality.

Why does low volume/high value coffee come from Switzerland?
Surely they do not grow coffee?
For Switzerland if processed/roasted there it could well qualify as Swiss origin I'd think. I'm a rusty retired Customs broker, tho. Hard to keep up with this tariff catastrophe.
Like DeBeers and diamonds? Or like the "Golden" rule?
