IMHO there's no need to spend speedster and strata type of money to get what u want. I have a Nurri L type SA spring Lever machine that has a 3 channel PID that is able to set and regulate the temperature of the grouphead vs the brew boiler vs the steam boiler (its a. Double boiler) independently. I...

No preheating needed, no boiling water. -Delicious, classic lever profile ristrettos. If you're ok with pulling small volume shots, this PV group i...

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade from my Sage Oracle machine and wanted some advice. I'm currently looking at the Decent machines but stumbled across the Meticulous machine which caught my interest. I understand that the Meticulous is looking to ship some time this year supposedly and offers some cool...

... in my freshroast and found this thread when looking for roasting guidance. I just want to share that I really like the straight espresso and milk drinks I made and encourage anyone to

I have a K Ultra that has served me well, but I want to go electric. Currently I'm a two to three milk drinks a day kind of guy. That may change to drinking straight espresso, but for now my unmodded Gaggia and K Ultra rarely give me a shot that I can drink without having to
