Roastpic App for color

It looks interesting in terms o the tech. But sadly, the free version strikes me as crippleware that doesn't really do anything except highlight obvious defects. $19 a month for the unprofessional version comes to more in a year than the basic colormeters, and more in two than some of the best ones. So who would buy it?

Decent Espresso news

Identical thermal accuracy. As far as repeatability goes: the more and faster you make shots on the DE1, the more accurate the temperature gets.

1 hole versus 3/4 hole steam wand?

I got very good with the BBE when I had it. I still enjoy using it at my Mom's house. It takes forever but can make really good microfoam. Silky, glassy on the top, and very good texture. The key is needing to stretch for longer than it seems you'd need. I'd then get the
