I get Aeropress but, on the road that doesn't generally do it for me. I don't do the ~$8 Starbucks thing either with any frequency but, occasionally hit Tim Hortons and similar shops when traveling in big cities to try the local style! I'm more into cowboy or French Press coffee...

How do folks handle getting subpar drinks in cafes? Since I got my Decent DE1 and got to where I can make pretty good espresso with it, I'm more likely to get a plain espresso at nicer cafes just to compare and see how I'm doing. But sometimes (sadly, probably more often than...

Odyssey Espresso Argos finally arrived!

I'll write more as I get used to the new machine but initial impression is even better than hoped! This has been an almost 2 year wait (August '21). Fit and finish are top notch. Very well thought out. Pleasantly surprised as I was...

Hi, I've already done a search in this sub and didn't turn up anyone saying anything good or bad.

I am in Alaska and distributors that ship to Alaska in a cost effective manner for the small production roaster are few. Wholesale Origin happens to be one, but they don't sell...

I have been using the Quickmill Achilles 0996 for over 10 years now, and am looking for a new lever machine.

I was hoping that some of the current Vecis users can help me out with some use case and workflow issues.

90% of the time I pull three shots (split with my wife) and...

There seem to been a huge development of ultra precision basket ever since the Uni from Weber came out, we already seen WAFO launch a whole series, Weber coming out with one as well as Swork design. Now Australia company PESADO seem to have joined the game with their HE basket...
