Should be able to mount on the bottom or side.
Price is for a new Shars 8" rotary table with 3-jaw chuck, but from their ebay store (cheaper): https://www.shars.com/8-h-v-rotary-table-with-8-3-jaw-chuck
Or, could wait and find a good deal on a used one for less.

0.1g Food Scale
Submitted by Kyle Glose on Mon, 03/29/2021 - 11:17amWe do not have a food scale in the kitchen area. This would be quite useful for weighing green coffee beans for the Behmor roaster as well as general kitchen use for cooking by weight instead of volume. Could be used for meats, spices, flour, etc. I have had a very positive experience with the Decent Simple Scale. It is very responsive, accurate, and a great price compared to other scales of its caliber.
Baratza Encore Coffee Grinder
Submitted by Kyle Glose on Mon, 03/29/2021 - 11:14amNow that we have the Behmor coffee roaster, the next step to having fresh, delicious, high quality coffee is a grinder capable of consistently producing uniform coffee grounds. The Baratza Encore won't break the bank and is occasionally available for refurbished pricing. It is also ranked as the best grinder by the NYT Wirecutter and multiple members have expressed their general satisfaction with Baratza products.

Submitted by Lior Trestman on Mon, 03/22/2021 - 8:12pmBecause this is a very fun field of woodworking!

Food Vacuum Sealer
Submitted by Denise McGillicuddy on Sun, 03/14/2021 - 3:06pmBuying in bulk can save money, but how do you divide up large portions so they don't go bad before you can use them? A food vacuum sealer!! It will also complement the Sous Vide machine for marinading things like meat, fish or tofu before cooking!
