Caffe Lusso Lionshare Espresso Blend

I agree. However, I think I like the Gran Miscela Carmo the best. I'm still looking for my "regular" espresso bean. I've been using Bardorf and Bronson's Dancing Goats for years. I still like it but it is a bit dark. Really like the spicy part but for some reason, I started looking for something

Caffe Lusso Lionshare Espresso Blend

Did you notice with the LionShare that the caffeine was a bit high? I find myself just a little more caffeinated that I like

Favorite Espressos 2016

Yes, I am very grateful for this review. The flavor profiles are exactly what I was looking for. I have Grand Miscela and LionShare. Love them both, think Grand Miscela may become my favorite. Pulling them at work on Baratza Preciso and Rio Junior, at home on Baratza Sette 270 and QuickMill Vetrano 2B

Caffe Lusso Lionshare Espresso Blend

I agree completely. Just got a bag of their Gran Miscela Carmo Espresso blend. Liked it so much that I ordered a bag of their Lionshare. Not sure which one I like most yet.... It'll take at least two or three more days to figure that out.... I'm pretty lucky because I live

Teflon heat break and O ring group seal

I have been running my Cremina 67 (1988 model) with two layers of Silpat for a couple of weeks now. The temperature at standing is down from approx 197 to 182. It may have to do with where I have the temperature probe taped to the group head. Who knows? I'll remove the Silpat and take
