I'm ready to make the move to a better espresso machine. My needs are perhaps a bit unique. I've had a Barista Express for about 3 years and know its quirks quite well. It makes serviceable straight shots after much fiddling, decent Cortados, and awesome lattes smothered in...

I have an OE Lido that has been grinding away gone 10+ years now. Unfortunately my missus decided to see how much abuse it could take the other day and ended up breaking the catch cup AND the black plastic top it threads into. I went to the OE Lido site to try and buy a new one...

Saw these were opened for preorder today, thinking about them as a replacement for the stock burrs in my DF64. Some videos I've seen on the Ditting 804s have me very intrigued!

I have a pre Millennium La Pavoni Pro.

I've designed a new exit chute for the DF64 to address retention and static issues with the stock grinder. I imagine this may be of interest to readers that either have a 3D SLA printer or know someone that does. There are a lot of makers out there, and I bet most of them drink...

Fresh Roast SR800, 1750 watts 15 amp. Hoping 12awg/3 25 footer and hopefully copper would be ok. I'm aware an extension cord is not recommended. 25 > 10'. 10 gauge less options and more expensive but I'll do what I gotta, any input ?

There are some threads and posts that are so exceptional, I've got nothing to say and would like to indicate appreciation. Ryan Lee just completed restoring a Faema Marte. That deserves an Applause emoticon. I don't want to clutter the thread with adding a post to indicate that....
