Hi all. Just finished my new spalted maple coffee table for my grinders, espresso macine and gear. I also made a sweet tamping pad from the spalted maple too. I am loving it and it functions great too.

Hi friends! I received my white LM Linea Micra today. Overall it looks just like the Linea but scaled down. Setup was a breeze and the packaging was nice and minimal. The box seems to be the same, if not even smaller than that of my Rocket Appartamento. I've pulled one shot so...

About 1.5 years ago, I packed up and moved and the espresso machines got boxed up. We also just finished a complete main floor remodel down to the studs and back, so I now have a coffee bar. :-)

Upon unpacking and setting up my ECM M-IV and turning it on, I was dismayed with...

Finally! The long awaited 'cast' burr from Option-O will be available from November 2022 onwards for Lagom P64 owners and December 2022/January 2023 for non Lagom P64 owners.

Equipment:
Profitec Pro 600 (adjusted to 9 bars pressure)
Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder (with single dose hopper)

Purchased a single burner induction cooktop. The now ancient BonaVita electric gooseneck thermal control has gone bonkers. Broke out the even older stovetop Hario gooseneck. It works on the induction cooktop (max 1800 watt spec), but not much quicker heating than the glass top...

Our 80s Saeco esspresso machine started playing up recently. It trips the house fuses after plugging in/switching on. I disconnected the compressonr and it still tripped the fuse so i think it must be the heating element. I'll try to test in the same way, but if it is, easy to...
