I've been using a roast colorimeter for some time to help narrow the starting point for dialing in new coffees, and I just noticed that Onyx is now listing the Agtron level for its offerings. One case in point is their Monarch, which is currently at 64.3 (the upper end of medium...

I would like to hear from others, your experiences, with the Key.

I consider my renewed interest in espresso truly began in July of 2021 when I purchased a Londinium L1 spring lever on the buy/sell forum. It's a 2014 legacy model that uses boiler pressure for pre-infusion...

latest edit, 8 May 2022: I added a second paragraph to item 6 under the maintenance section. It is an ifixit guide to removing the group and the steam boiler. This has application if you have an older BDB and want to upgrade to the latest group with the two-piece collar inserts...

Thanks, it's hard to miss my daily cappuccino. :cry:

I'm currently using a Linea Mini and a compak e10 single dose by time. Happy with everything, but it would make my morning minorly more efficient if there was a machine out there that accurately dosed to a 10th of a gram. Current process is pinching out excess and blipping the...
