Hi All,

Wanting some user experience and recommendation on the following espresso machines I have narrowed down my list to. I have picked the potential espresso machine based on my needs and my budget.

Could you all please let me know which one would be ideal based on...

I know I'm being extra paranoid, but is there any way to clean out a new grinder? I just ordered a K-max and I'd like to be able to wipe away all the manufacturing chemicals if possible. 1zpresso explicitly says to pretty much not get water anywhere near the grinder, so soap and...

Hi guys, hoping to get some advice from those who have gone before..
Please see pics attached of element and bolts, do you think I can clean up this element and re-use it, perhaps with some new bolts? Or do you think the threads on the element would be too rusted to hold the...

Hello HB

So I opened the machine up and found no source for heavy leak, but did...

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I was curious to find out if various YouTubers influence your buying decisions, or are you set on the decision regardless what YT influencers may say?

I am asking this because many of them are into equipment reviews, and...

Just saw this and found it super interesting. Brian Quan made a first look video about a new machine tentatively called The Meticulous Home Espresso Machine.

No boiler, spring activated by a motor, silent, good looking. I'm definitely intrigued!

I love open boiler designs...

So I'm about to embark on the full strip down of my Mac Digit single group from 1997. It has sat for many years and it shows! It came out of an Italian restaurant where they didnt seem to know what maintenance was. Let's just say it's pretty rough. However, I did get it for...
