What to do about newbie noise

Dan - When he sends you an angry email telling you how the equipment you recommended just didn't work - can you send me a message so I can offer to buy it from him and help him out? More seriously... In 1992 I was a "fish host" on AOL's pet section. I cannot tell

Waiting for Vibiemme DoubleDomo Super Dilemma

I had more than an idle interest in the Dalla Corte as well. A few things stood out for me - these are all kind of subjective and I am sure do not affect overall function at all. I'd read about the Dalla Corte at some point in my double boiler search and while it was not

Post a pic of your home espresso setup...

The EspressoCraft, which I just got today, is supposed to be 58.2. Since I don't have a caliper, I can only compare it to the Protamp below - it does appear to be a teeny bit bigger. {image} I've been using my new Protamp (I've got one of the first ones for Anita as well) with it's

The salesman actually made me 3 different offers - but since he couldn't get it

Getting started with the Vibiemme DoubleDomo Super

Getting started with the Vibiemme DoubleDomo Super

Yay! How many ounces are you getting? And did you find a home for your old machine? I've had fun with two different coffees this week. They both required different grinds, which meant that I ground a shot, extracted it and had to make an educated guess as to finer or coarser and how much of

Getting started with the Vibiemme DoubleDomo Super

Since I want to keep Anita's Rancilio bottomless portafilter with her kit, I purchased one specifically for the VBM from Espresso Care and received it today. Also suggested and included was an 8mm gasket. Wow! What an amazing difference. While I was really pleased with how well my shots have been ta...
