Switching between Flair 58 and Robot - grind size?

You could get the pressurized basket for the Robot, and then you only need to dial in the Flair. Or, get a second grinder. Or, be ok with close enough, but not totally dialed

Insulated the Boiler Tanks for Marzocco Linea-wanted to share

Good idea. Need to do the same for my Slayer. It is 2023, and they still do not factory-insulate that machine. It should be a standard these days. My only concern with repurposing PET from old stuff would be that you can never know for sure whether it actually is 100% PET. I have some melamine foam left from

Mazzer Philos Comments

More quantitatively, it is lighter bodied than a conical for espresso, but there is a thickness on the tongue that

General question about handling cafe drink quality

It can be done, but as you suggest, it's not easy to pull off, and it's even harder to reproduce. As for the topic at hand, Hoff is right: in almost every scenario one can imagine, complaining is unlikely to get you anywhere. I usually do a little recon before trying a new place. I

Latte Art Diagnosis

I took a video this morning to show you. Notice that I actually pushed twice at the very beginning. The second push was a subconscious correction for poor technique. My milk was a little too thick and didn't continue flow out in a white stream on the surface, so I did a second push which recovered the
