We all spend a lot of time selecting and obsessing over our espresso equipment. In the end, little differentiates our kit from each other. Now you have the option to truly personalize your machine and accessories. Add a wood portafilter handle or a complete set to truly...

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...

Folks,

I have had a DF83 V2 for about 3 months now and am using the SSP Cast Burrs with it for espresso. Overall pleased with the results. The one super annoying thing is that as I grinder for a few shots in the morning the grinder warms up and the zero will drift...

I broke my back moving this machine, but I am happy to present one of the wildest Faema Uranias I've ever seen; two hydraulic groups and one hotel group (I DO have the glass, it's in shipment still). The entire shipment was 285lb/130kg. It withstood some abuse, but it survived...

I recently switched to SSP Cast burrs V2 silver and I cannot get decent shot to shot consistency out of . Shots can be 31 seconds and the next one 17 seconds, then 45 seconds. Every else staying the same.

I've read a lot about them before purchasing. I read about those having...

I have a Sculptor 078 on the way, and have an unopened never used Fellow Ode w SSPs, outside of a return window. I'm curious if anyone has tried both / has both and if they produce very different cups ?

I'm considering just keeping the Ode as well if I can't resell it for...

Hello,

I've just received my shiny new VBM Domobar Jr Hx Digital. Lovely machine, visually.

Pulled a few shots to get it basically dialed in, so far so good. I wonder, though, how to think about the brew temperature setting. Is this calibrated to the boiler or the group, does...

My 5 year old mini started failing to deliver water recently. Checked and solenoid cleaned by a service business.
Unfortunately the problem continued. It turns out if the machine has been on for more than an hour or more - on throwing the switch no click and no water. If I turn...
