Espresso blend for roasting - what's yours
Hi all, I roast my own coffee and my normal routine is to roast right up to first crack. I also almost exclusively drink espresso drinks. First drink of the day is an espresso I pull on top of hot water - It's how I like an Americano as I can still get a pretty clear idea

Why don't dual boiler espresso machines feed the brew boiler from the steam boiler?
Just one of the little reasons I like my Mini Vivaldi

Intelligentsia Pasadena
This reminds me of how I turned to home espresso. Some years ago I had learned to enjoy lattes from Starbucks or Gloria Jeans. Those places because they were all that was available to me. Then, suddenly I noticed I was getting my drink almost as soon as I had ordered it. "I don't understand how

Is "sour" espresso a roasting defect - or a brewing error?
My first experience with a coffee I bought for espresso, because it was marketed as espresso. I also noted that there were a number of folks here on HB who really liked it. So, when I got it and saw how light it was, I had serious doubts. And, my first taste of it, I didn't like. Well, I

Natural Kintamani and Washed Blue Moon
My experience as I remember it is that dry or natural processed greens are marked that way. If the seller doesn't say anything about it, I can assume it's washed

Banana taste in Yemens
It's interesting to me that I might pick up one thing in the aroma when grinding and something else in taste. And even in taste maybe something at first taste that fades and again something different later as the coffee cools in the cup. In the case of this banana taste, it's only a hint, like most ...

Banana taste in Yemens
I've been interested when a coffee is said to have banana in its flavor profile. I buy a lot of coffee from Sweet Marias and as anybody who does will attest,, Thom finds a wide range of tastes in the coffee he sells. Some of his tastes are hard to dispute since they are of things I've

Post a pic of your home espresso setup...
That's a beautiful set up you have Joseph. I have to wonder what you think you'll be gaining with an "upgrade" to a mini. I mean even with my humble Mini Vivaldi, I wonder that. My work flow, my morning espresso drinks are all just exactly what I like. So, while a LInea mini looks cooler than my
