And so it begins, actually it began last Spring, and here we are in February. The electrical display on my late 2013 North gas roaster started crackling, then power would fail. This was intermittent at first but became constant. There was...

Hi all,
My pre-2005 MCAL has developed a boiler leak, which occurs whether the machine is on or off. I disassembled the base from the boiler and changed the gasket (which didn't look bad) but the problem is still recurring. Any advice or...

Sometimes I read that a machine can't be plumbed in because a significant other doesn't want holes cut in the kitchen counter.

Hi HB!

Looks like a super solid competitor for the home market. Some user reviews popping up on some UK forums.

Thoughts?

Talk me out of this one? It's super expensive, but it checks all the boxes:

1. Can be plumbed, but doesn't have to be.
2. Has a smaller footprint. I had an Izzo Alex Duetto III and it was gigantic, and weight over 100 pounds. It was a...

Well the cat's out of bag, OE posted on twitter: "First cup of coffee brewed with the Apex grinder"

Last month I stopped by with another HB member to catch up with Doug and Barb, where we heard all about the big burr grinder...
