Hi all,
I'm interested in getting into coffee roasting purely as a means of producing good coffee in the varieties and taste profiles I want (I don't want another hobby). Are the PID controlled roaster options + proven roast recipes/profiles going to produce something...

I just got a Weber Key grinder. The recomended grind speed is about 70RPM. It takes about a minute to grind 16g. My previous grinder, a Baratza Sette 270Wi sounded like it ground at 10,000RPM. It would grind 16g in about 10 seconds. I'm gladly giving up that speed for the super...

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...

Looking for a berry bomb coffee. The natural Ethiopians from my local roasters are not cutting it. I want some berries.

I had an amazing bag from Red Rooster Ethiopia Worka Sakaro Anaerobic Natural, but they don't have anything else in stock like that.

Years ago, the best espresso grinders were bulky, commercial machines that were ill-suited to the confines of home kitchens. These large units not only lacked aesthetic appeal, but also were built for volume with large hoppers full of beans, making them impractical for those...

So on IG Weber teased a video of a new bean feeder and a two-part cover that looks to replace the funnel. I've already asked if a retrofit will be available for existing Keys.

The bean feeder now has only one hole - which is good. I had found both holes open was too much for...
