Looking for a nice home setup semi auto machine for brewing a couple shots each morning. Only must have is that it needs to have a water reservoir/can't be plumbed in. I've had super autos in the past but time to fully upgrade. Loved my old school lever machine but would like...

I currently have a Baratza Virtuoso that I use strictly for pour over (V60, Origami w/kalita filters, and Chemex). I was looking to upgrade my grinder and was thinking about the Ode, but then decided on a good hand grinder for portability reasons since I bring it to work with...

I'm not aware of a thread that showcases member setups so thought I would start one. Here is my baby (mazzer mini, autotamp, vibiemme domobar super + e61 thermometer):

Now I just need to add skills and might be getting somewhere. Newest editions are the E61 thermometer...

Hello everyone! I'm new here as I just acquired an Oscar ii for a steal. It's producing great steam pressure but the water at the grouphead stays around 140F. I've descaled the boiler and heat exchanger but the water coming through is still not getting hot enough. If anyone has...

So my...

Hmmm another sale and no greens included. Funny I wanted to do a poll on this but their email beat me too it.

For those of you making what seems to be coined 'rpavlis water', how are you making it? I've seen it mentioned many times and I've seen some posts where people provide different measurements for it, but it wasn't until today that I looked for rpavlis' actual post that spells it...

Hi All,

Does anyone here know what is the password for e65gbW or even e65s assuming they are the same?
