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...

Just picked up a brand new Lavazza Espresso Point machine today. A guy in my area used to own a restaurant supply business and has a bunch of these in a storage unit. Some are new and some are used. He found a brand new one for me. I bought it largely as an impulse buy because...

Got the new Linea Mini home just last night after picking it up at Clive Coffee here in Portland. Clive held a nice open house event on Memorial Day where they invited customers down to the store to try out some of the new equipment and check out some of their open box buys....

I am looking to purchase my first espresso machine. We currently have a Jura. I know, I know, but convenience is king for my wife. However, I'm tired of the faux-presso and I've convinced her to add an espresso machine to the mix.

As for our current consumption...

I posted in tips but got negligible responses. Is anyone brewing sprovers with a medium roast like Nossa Full Cycle?

I have not been that successful so please share your sprover tips. I have been experimenting with Scott Rao's Filter 2.1 and Brian Quan's Sprover (both have...

I was invited to a dinner tonight put on by the UC Davis coffee department and went as Kent's (Marzocco) plus one. I met the Probat, Cropster (who insisted I'll be using the software by the end of the week lol), Baratza guys and the faculty department head at UC Davis who...
