I have had a DF83 V2 for about 3 months now and am using the SSP Cast Burrs with it for espresso. Overall pleased with the results. The one super annoying thing is that as I grinder for a few shots in the morning the grinder warms up and the zero will drift...
I broke my back moving this machine, but I am happy to present one of the wildest Faema Uranias I've ever seen; two hydraulic groups and one hotel group (I DO have the glass, it's in shipment still). The entire shipment was 285lb/130kg. It withstood some abuse, but it survived...
If it lives up to the specs it seems pretty cool with room for advanced options in the future. Any takers of the pre-order? Any naysayers have some naysaying to do?
I recently switched to SSP Cast burrs V2 silver and I cannot get decent shot to shot consistency out of . Shots can be 31 seconds and the next one 17 seconds, then 45 seconds. Every else staying the same.
I've read a lot about them before purchasing. I read about those having...
I have a Sculptor 078 on the way, and have an unopened never used Fellow Ode w SSPs, outside of a return window. I'm curious if anyone has tried both / has both and if they produce very different cups ?
I'm considering just keeping the Ode as well if I can't resell it for...
I've just received my shiny new VBM Domobar Jr Hx Digital. Lovely machine, visually.
Pulled a few shots to get it basically dialed in, so far so good. I wonder, though, how to think about the brew temperature setting. Is this calibrated to the boiler or the group, does...
My 5 year old mini started failing to deliver water recently. Checked and solenoid cleaned by a service business.
Unfortunately the problem continued. It turns out if the machine has been on for more than an hour or more - on throwing the switch no click and no water. If I turn...
I am searching for an affordable roaster (less than $1000) that will do a 1 lb batch (or close to it since Behmor does not do well with 16 oz of greens). My 15-year-old Behmor (original 1600 model) stopped rotating the drum. I can try replacing the drum motor for $30 in parts...
I LOVE the Argos lever, but I have trouble with the boiler cap (thank you, a lifetime of working with my hands) due to creeping arthritis. Ross kindly sent me a spare boiler cap, so I can think about/make modifications.
Since the cap only turns 1/2 turn, I'm thinking about...
