Anyone have thoughts on this new grinder from Macap?
It looks like a Mignon bit has a few defining features. First, the strong 390W motor is a nice touch. The burrs are also screwless and smooth (see pics on the 1st line website). They are also making some claims about...

I want to buy a present, perhaps a hand grinder, for someone in Germany as a present. Does anyone know of a company based in Germany that is similar to Prima, Seattle Coffee Gear, Cafune? Thinking the this 'might' be the best way to order rather than pay international shipping,...

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...

Any other products worth considering? This would be for descaling an HX. I'm worried about descaler coming in contact with chrome parts on the...

I'm new to home roasting, and I'm using a budget machine (Behmor). So far, I've been roasting in the kitchen under the range hood. It's okay, but smells still linger in our open plan upper floor for days after roasting, and I can smell the roast on the hood itself for days too....

Hello everyone!
I would like to discuss about commercial espresso machines. What is the best machine in terms of reliability and low maintenance costs? Do you have your favorites? Which ones and why?
My personal is FB80 from La Marzocco. Dual boiler, good heat stability, precise...
