I'm looking to get a new espresso machine, and budget can be pretty high... if it's worth it. My experience is mainly on. the NS Appia we have at work. My question is whether something like a LM gs3 or even Línea Mini is totally overkill. I would love either no doubt, but I only...

Hi all, I have a grinder that I reckon is rather good. Possibly the best value high-end grinder on the market.

I'm so impressed with it that I want to do a review on it. I don't want to say what the make and model is at this point but rather I'd love to know what you would like...

Some of you have probably heard the rumours, some of you probably even know for a while and some may know nothing at all. Either way, I thought it would be a good time to create a thread about the new kid on the Lever Espresso Machine block. Apparently Flair have been working on...

I have a Rocket Appartamento since 2019.

I do regular backflush. I use Nestle 5 Gallon bottled water to fill the tank.

So I'm curious,

What are folks' thoughts on roasting kona? Every kona I've had was roasted to nearly charcoal. When I roast it its at a light to medium.

Is there a specific roast level I must meet for this? I've found that lighter roast level also brings out the aromatics and...

I just arrived in Kerala India for a stay of several months. I am looking for green coffee but all I see for sale is for weight loss, antioxidants, and other medical claims while I need it for mental health. Even on Amazon I have a hard time discerning when all the flavor notes...

I'm a bit of a coffee newbie. I just recently gotten into the espresso game with a BDB. I'm happy with the espresso shots I pull. They taste like what a regular espresso you would get in a cafe. But how do you make the regular black coffee like a starbucks blonde roast black for...
