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...

This is the companion to the Philos review thread . Please posts your thoughts here.

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?

Hi everyone! I've been using a Yosan roaster for half a year now, and I almost always get tipping on the beans (always on natural processing). I understand the nature of tipping. I've tried changing the batch size from 400-1500g, the loading temperature from 140-210, the drum...

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...

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

I read through a thread here about going back to a hopper style grinder because singe dose was too much work. I'm going in the opposite direction.

My first grinder was a huge machine that you used to find in grocery stores to grind a pound of coffee. I used it for drip coffee....

Hi,

This is a continuation to the modification I did on an IKAWA Home roaster. I post it in a separate post as the data capture could be helpful on other roasters.

I have added a humidity sensor to the Ikawa exhaust, still lots of work to do but it captures well the FC. The...

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 had been looking at my local ads for a while waiting to pounce on a decent resto project. There are probably better machines out there, but this one is well documented on this site. And anything should be a workflow upgrade over my current Flair with an old DeLonghi EC680 for...
