Just received my new Monolith flat MAX and conical MC4. Not sure how to properly season them. Some people say we need at least 15 kg of beans for each grinder. Where do I get 30 kg of beans? Secondly, should they be good beans or just anything goes?

Right now the taste of my...

Hey everyone,

So I've still been experimenting with my home equipment (Lelit Anna 2 + Sette 270) and I think I need to work on my puck prep. Here are some pics of my process...

I can't figure out how to upload a video on here so I'm going to just link you guys to the post I...

I've been experimenting with restricting the rate of beans flowing into the 64mm burrs of the DF64.

I have been roasting since December of last year on my Fresh Roast SR800. I added the equipment to use the Artisan software to control my roasts. Everyone loves the coffee...maybe too much. We drink about1.5 pounds of coffee a week. This means I need to make 4 batches a week on...

This evening Paul Pratt announced on Kickstarter that 50 Robots have shipped and that 15 more are being shipped every day. It's time to open a User Experience thread so we can learn from each other. This is also the thread for initial comments on the Cafelat Robot Review that we...

I'm curious if anyone has worked on modding the visual design of the decent de1? I'm considering it as a potential machine to upgrade to however one thing holding me back is just how ugly the UI is. I understand there's a large modding community however I haven't seen much...

John Buckman here, the founder of Decent Espresso.

I'll be posting regular Decent news to this Marketplace thread.

I'm also happy to answer questions here. However, there are Decent conversations happening in various places on this forum, among regular forum members, and I'd...

After using a drum roaster for quite some time, I decided to buy an electric fluid bed sample roaster (the model is Santoker Q20), mostly for its ease of use. Because my old-school drum roaster takes too much time to prepare (setup the thermal couple, MS6514 thermal meter, chaff...
