Kenya Rukira Natural (Bodhi Leaf)

Will post a graph when time allows, but I've done two roasts thus far with ~1.5 min and ~2 min development time (each with ~5 min dry and ~3 min Maillard), and it's more raspberry and plum to my palate. Acidity is balanced with a pleasant sweet and savory component, which I assume is where the "muff...

Tanzania Gesha, Karate Region

I've done 4 batches now, and I typically search around for the sweet spot of development time as Dave does--usually starting with a 1:30 min development time along with a 2:00 min version for comparison.

Restoring a sweet 1974 Olympia Express Club

Thank you for sharing. Are you using the machinists jack to service your groups more frequently? I believe in a prior rebuild thread, you mentioned you only infrequently cleaned and relubed pistons. You and Nino are now making me nervous about the blue paint in the sight glass of my 75. You removed ...

Olympia Cremina SL - stronger spring

Is the Lambro spring in the 6-bar range also? You're pulling ristrettos for the increased texture?

Tighten Fit on Power Switch - 84 Olympia Cremina

Sorry-see pic below. The clips were trimmed for install, and they're now each about 1/4" short of the face plate, as indicated by the yellow lines.
