1 hole versus 3/4 hole steam wand?

For me the tricky part is getting the duration of the stretching phase just right. Too much and it's a nice cappuccino, but not a latte I look at the rising level while stretching but also the sound, the frequency becoming lower as the milk level rises and more air is introduced.

80mm burrs experience (SSP, Ditting, EG1, Ultra, Uber...)

I am ordering the Wug2. Plan on getting the blind ultras for filter, but can't decide between the core or the LS for espresso. Anyone have experience with both that can speak to clarity, body and sweetness?

Buying Group Gasket Kit NY

I couldn't tell from your post whether you were looking for gaskets for a Cafelat Robot or another machine (like an E61).

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.

Decent Espresso news

Breville Dual Boiler 920 little flow through group head

welp I just solved this. I took off the brand new solenoid once again to really check what's going on here and there was a small fragment of an old o-ring that was literally clogging the valve to the brew head. Made sure that it wasn't any of the current o-rings and didn't find any leaks or hissing from other

New Mazzer grinder announcement - Mazzer Philos

No idea, it's coming straight from them anyway. I originally asked AlternativeBrewing and they said they'd be selling it at the end of the year, so maybe?
