Cold brew coffee.
I have never made cold brew coffee outside of work but at present work is having me help revamp their cold brew. I don't drink it and never bothered working up a good method for myself. The problem is over bitter from the drip blend and overly nutty on the cold brew dedicated beans. The latter

What is the point of 3 hole steamer on La Pavoni Europiccola and a new owner's recipe.
I bent the wands carefully basically at the point where they already were bent, though the Stradivari was already bent at an angle I found more workable. The other Pro had the traditional angle which annoyed me tremendously. I couldn't get a good roll going on the steam with the pitchers I was using...

What is the point of 3 hole steamer on La Pavoni Europiccola and a new owner's recipe.
I have two millenium Pavonis and have the original three hole steam tips and two single hole tips. In my use I have found, generally for smaller quantities of milk the one hole works best. However when steaming for a to go mug of largish size I have switched one of my girls back to the original three

Longer pre-infusion for less channeling?
Wdt is not just about declumping it is also distribution. I find the declump easy. Getting the grinds evenly distributed prior to tamp is the most important part and the hardest to know when you got it. My homemade wdt tool will end up often leaving some voids or I will not notice that one side has

La Pavoni Professional overheating
Almost certainly a descale will straighten that pro right out. Maybe a pstat clean if the descale doesn't. When I see my girls doing that I know it's time to descale

Still steaming trouble
I would have zero qualms serving that latte you made in any shop I have worked at. You are much farther along the path than you think. You have reached the refinement stage of your technique. It's all little things now and doubly frustrating because you have some skill. Comes down to finding the sweet

Eureka Mignon Zero and the Oro Single Dose
55mm burrs are going to be just fine with your La Pavoni. I have seen more than a few mom n pop shops running 55mm grinders. The main issue with burrs below 60 mm is the feeding of beans. Some larger or oddly shaped coffees may not feed well. Also due to more aggressive breaking needed they

Long shot time ristretto
Agreed. If the description mentions fruits and chocolates it's ristretto time. Especially medium roasts for me, darker is difficult to keep the fruits Infront of the good bitters. I feel they get backgrounded too much after second crack. And plus one on the fruits despite milk. I enjoy them for that...

2021 La Pavoni Pro group not filling.
This model came with a stainless piston. I double checked it each time I pulled the group thinking the same thing. It must be blockage in the inlet. I will pull it again and pull the sleeve for a good clean. The boiler pipe is clear

2021 La Pavoni Pro group not filling.
My pro is taking a full minute to fill the group chamber. I already checked the boiler tube for scale blockage but water flows right through no problem. Have taken the group apart five times this week trying to figure it out. A little more info. As I lift lever about 1/2 inch from water inlet
