Starting out with Vibiemme Domobar Super
Don't know where you are in WA, but you should consider dropping by Olympia if you're anywhere close. You can go to Batdorf & Bronson as well as Olympia Coffee Roasting to check out their espresso offerings and then stop by the Espresso Parts location to talk about bottomless portafilters, tampers a...

Good coffee in UAE?
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a place to get quality coffee in the UAE. I am in Abu Dhabi now, but could probably get to Dubai sometime if there is a good cafe or just someplace that sells quality beans. Thanks in advance! Justin

Can anyone explain preinfusion on the E61?
And my Anita is slightly different in the way it operates. I can raise it to the middle position with no flow at all; however, if I apply slight upward pressure I do get flow from the HX loop. I use this trick when I scrub the group with my Pallo tool. It's funny, though . . . there's a

New steam tip for Quickmill Anita?
I've seen her recover during steaming with the stock tip to the point where the heating element switches back off because the pressurestat has reached it's upper setting. I'm not surprised that she has that much power. I'm not certain that I need or want that much power, but it's alluring. The micro...

New steam tip for Quickmill Anita?
Awesome! Thanks, Sebastian. Can you tell me what the boiler pressure is set at on that Anita so I can compare it to mine? Justin

New steam tip for Quickmill Anita?
And there's the rub. I guess I should have mentioned I have one of the older Anitas so it doesn't have the newer arms or valves or whatever. I saw the other thread about the Spaz arm and checked it on Chris Coffee, but looks like it would ONLY work with the newer models. Thanks, though!

New steam tip for Quickmill Anita?
Has anyone tried either the "Pasquini 4 Hole Steam Tip" from Chris Coffee or the "Marzocco 4 Hole Steaming Tip" from Great Infusions? Specifically, I'm looking for someone who has used one of these tips on a machine roughly equivalent to the Quickmill Anita, so most any E61-type HX machine would pro...

Lever Espresso Machines Smackdown
I, for one, appreciate this. I have zero experience on levers so it's good to get a "newbie" point of view. I've only had a "real" espresso machine for a year, so it's also good to get all the background information on how levers work, etc. I also appreciate this forum, "The Bench". In a way, it all...

Which way to turn Macap stepless to make the grind coarser?
Yeah, but the confusing thing about that statement is that there are adjustment knobs on either side and they will rotate in opposite directions; i.e., if you are turning the knob on the right side (as you face the grinder) clockwise, the knob on the left side will be turning counter-clockwise. So i...

Post a pic of your home espresso setup...
Hey Jon, I'm usually in town every six months or so. I have family there and my parents' house is near Preston, ID. The only place that I've known of to get decent coffee there is Caffe d'Bolla. Funny, it's another Jo(h)n that owns and operates that place! Do you have any other recommendations? I kn...
