So, first things first- I received this WDT tool from Eric as part of my Ultra grinder pre-order. I paid full price, and although I am a frequent customer of Eric's coffee shop, I am not affiliated with his business in any way. The following review represents my impressions...
Hello friends - I'm upgrading from a Breville Barista Express that I bought in ~2013. I used it sparingly and it has served me well. However, I believe it's time to take my home espresso to the next level. After a long time researching, I've narrowed it down to the following...
Attention all Vesuvius owners!
I just committed today and purchased the Vesuvius! Excited is an understatement as to how I feel right now. Would love to here from all the Vesuvius owners out there as I wait for my machine to arrive> Fire away with comments and/or...
First post to the forum, but longtime reader. I'm looking to purchase a brew grinder and really want to go with a high quality one out of the gate (as opposed to buying then upgrading later). I've been considering the Fellow Ode ever since the kickstarter went live, but...
Rancilio Silvia, and the ECM Casa V. I have a Gaggia Classic for about 9 years now that pairs with a Baratza Vario grinder. I asked a technician-manager at Whole Latte Love if she could recommend an espresso machine. I've had a lot of back & forth with her for years, so it is...
I just cruised around the FAQ's and guides, but even they are above my knowledge level. We're stationed in Italy and love espresso now. My wife is in love with macchiato's.
We've been using our stove top Bialetti's, but they're a little tedious to load up and boil just for a...
To dredge up a much discussed topic; replacing an old Rocky grinder (to be paired with Lelit Bianca).
At the same price point are the Eureka Mignon Specialita and the Fiorenzato F4. Does one stand clearly above the other? Are they dissimilar and have their own attributes? Where...
I have had 12 good years out if my Vivaldi 2. Over the last couple years I have had to put a couple hundred in to get it going when I fire it up in the fall. I only drink espresso when its cool out. Last year I put a new pump on it and it still didn't work. Its time to upgrade....
I realize this is a frequent question, so I will try to make it as specific as possible.
I am shopping for a great espresso machine, and for my budget, the Breville Infuser looks great. I will likely mostly do espresso, with very rare cappuccino.
For the price (~$600...
I'm replacing my 13 year old La Spaziale with a machine with flow control (Lelit Bianca V2). I've been using a Baratza Vario for those years and have been relatively happy, but decided to replace my grinder too. I was down to the Eureka Mignon Specialita and the Baratza Sette...
