Hi,

Going to Brooklyn on vacation in a couple of weeks and wondering which coffee shops/roastery should I visit ?

I've rented a BNB in Bushwick but planning to move a lot around Brooklyn and maybe a quick trip to Manhattan.

Let me know your must go !

Thx,

Jo

Let's post this here too. So Mazzer is launching a new hand grinder, another 47mm burr one.

Without further ado, here's their product page:

They're offering it with fast and soft burrs. The former for more productivity and the latter for easier grinding. I wonder if that...

Room temperature is one of many possible temperatures for just-roasted beans...

Roasted up a small batch (130g) of Nicaragua Buena Vista Obata using an 8-minute (IKAWA) linearly-declining RoR roast profile to what looked like a City-ish roast level - at least that's what it...

IKAWA sample roasters have been a staple of coffee professionals starting with their introduction in 2013. In the same year, IKAWA launched a Kickstarter campaign for its home roaster. The IKAWA name and its elegant design suggest that it's a Japanese product. But the company is...

HERE IS MY STORY/QUESTION:

Two years ago I bought a ECM Synchronika coffee machine, which has been in daily use (4-6 coffees per day). Gradually, over time, the machine started getting louder and louder when refilling the boilers. There is a loud rattling sound, almost like...

I recently purchased the 80mm super-lattice (ceramic) coated steel Ditting/Mahlkoenig dual-screw burrs from fellow Home-Barista user jpboyt. James Pat Boyt is the owner of Boyt Enterprises and supplies loads of different burr offerings. What piqued my interest in these burrs was...

Hi all, just got a Flair 58 last weekend - I've had Bianca and Decent recently. I see a lot of potential in the 58 and I am still getting used to it. For the time being, I am just doing 5-8 seconds of preinfusion at 2 bars and than ramping up to 9 and holding there until the end...

With the blank disk insert in the portafilter, the pump pressure shows just a little over 10, but the gauge at the brew head shows over 11. I don't understand how the pressure down stream can be higher and wonder if one of the gauges is off.

Aloha Everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster here. I just received my Linea Micra and I'm loving it thus far. Just wondering what parameters people recommend for the pre-brewing parameters? I saw some posts about it, but can't seem to find it again. I'm not plumbed in...

It's done. If Lance supposedly turned a $400 Gaggia into a $3K machine by adding a PID, what then have I done to this $15 thrift Saeco? :mrgreen:

So this machine, in addition to the title list, has the brand new pump and the repaired OPV. Which works very well btw. My first...
