Good day everyone!

Quick question for you all... I've learned a ton from many previous threads here talking about roast profiles and everyone's different approaches to try to squeeze the best from their roasters... When I was doing a few roasts on my Quest M3 this past weekend,...

Really insightful, thanks Jake! Makes sense - the needle is just limiting how quickly the headspace above the puck gets filled and of course then the system can build full pressure due to the resistance of the coffee. I've a couple of pondering q's to wrap my head around.

So,...

I picked up a non-functional Fiorenzato Bricoletta to repair, and I started tearing it down to clean it before really digging into the problem... and I don't recognize this part. I did a quick browse on espressoparts.com to see if I could visually match it, but had no luck. I...

So I am beginning the downgrading portion of my espresso slope.

I went from a La Spaziale Vivaldi 2 to a gs/3 and then to a Slayer. Been very happy with my Slayer since 2017 and use it with my monolith flat. I don't drink light roasts. My current standard is Vivace Dolce. Very...

I have added a humidity sensor to the Ikawa exhaust, still lots of work to do but it captures well the FC. The...

This is the companion to the Philos review thread . Please posts your thoughts here.

I am searching for an affordable roaster (less than $1000) that will do a 1 lb batch (or close to it since Behmor does not do well with 16 oz of greens). My 15-year-old Behmor (original 1600 model) stopped rotating the drum. I can try replacing the drum motor for $30 in parts...
