The machine has been in development for a while, and has been delayed, but is now in early production and will ship soon. It is a commercial machine. In the future, it will be interesting to see if the technology comes down to home use - where induction might be a game changer....

Having just tried Sey for the first time, I'm wondering if i got a bad bag, or of this is just the style. The coffee is a washed Colombian, 3 weeks off roasting.

The whole beans smelled vegetal, the grounds smelled vegetal. After cooling, in the cup is a prominent citrus...

In the market for a new machine as an upgrade to my 10yr old Gaggia Classic. I like the GC for the ease of repair (I've had to put in new thermostats and switch group) and minor mods for OPV and steam wand.
I've recently been more into espresso and upgraded to a Eureka...

TLDR: what's the difference between a day in the sealed bag as delivered, vs a day after that bag is opened for the first time?

Talking here about the rule of thumb that beans are best used somewhere in the 7-21 days after roasting. Don't want to get into any differences...

I'm after a tamper upgrade as I'm not happy with how much effort it's taking me to achieve a level (i.e. not canted) puck with my standard tamper.

I'm struggling to wrap my head around the Normcore tamper.

I can see if you have a spring loaded tamper that isn't self-levelling...

Could be good or bad, i.e. I can't believe I didn't do/use XYZ back in 2023 or I can't believe I used to do/use XYZ back in 2023

For me: I think grinding by weight will become ubiquitous.

All other things being equal, anyone believe there is a machine with parts and build quality to rival La Marzocco?

That's a major driver of what I want in my next (last?) machine. While we're at at, anyone have a preferred seller for La Marzocco? The price seems standard, but...

Ms Silvia seems to hold its value really well. I've seen sellers demanding $500+ for ~20 year old v2 machines. Most listings are for v2, v3, and they go for at least $400-500. Newer v5+ tends to ask for $600+. Does it make sense to pay that much for such old machines? Wouldn't...

Lagom P64 SSP MP / Unimodal V1 vs Orphan Espresso Apex

Which one is more recommend for pour over over the other ?!
Which one taste better and have more clarity ?! :)

Title might be a little obscure and I'm not entirely sure this is 100% the right section.

I'll try to explain myself:

I've seen many posts and watched several tests regarding how burr shape (flat vs conical) and geometry will affect the taste in the cup.

I've read extremely...

The most common answer to this question is brush before drinking , and the argument is that coffee is acidic which leaves teeth enamel more exposed to damage. One should apparently wait at least 30 minutes after drinking and before brushing. Or something along those lines.

What...

After I saw the video clip on barista hustle's upcoming autocomb, I went looking for alternatives that are already available that mechanise the wdt process and make it more consistently the same from shot to shot. I came across the following...

Has anyone used this...

I've never tried Passenger's coffee and figure it's time to change that. Happy to hear recommendations for what to try. I'm likely to avoid the extra precious ($) stuff, and will primarily brew as V60 and Chemex.

Thank you!

good evening, fellow baristas,

after taking in the scent of some well-bruised bananas, i came to the realization of how wonderful a banana note would taste in coffee. i was wondering if anyone here had any particular suggestions of coffee with banana notes, whether it be a...

Hello everybody, I'm a new member and this is my first post in the board.

It's been roughly 12 months (i'm in my 30s) since I began my journey into coffee (eith Aeropress)..

In the past week the desire to move into Espresso has constantly increased, been gathering a lot of...

In the last couple of years I have used my beloved Elektra MCAL for travel, but its large 10 base makes it difficult to make the whole kit compact (especially when also packing my Baratza Sette). I also love my MCAL so much that I hesitate to pack it for travel...

So I am...

I recently moved into an apartment with no outside venting. None. The dryer is ventless. There is no hood over the stove - what looks like it *might* be one is an AC vent. Open the windows? Well, I overlook the main entrance to the building, so I would like to keep toxic fumes...

Hi there.
I am new here and would like to hear your advices.
I am using my Cafelat Robot with my 1Zpresso JX Pro, mainly for medium roast, and making 90% cortado. 1-2 cups a day.
Lately I started to get tired of manual grinding and considered to buy an electric grinder.
The 2...

Having owned both an Izzo Vivi and currently a Rocket R58, I wonder why the e61 brewgroup is so extremely tight to operate.
In both machines I replaced the valves and partially bought new springs too, lubed everything as per instructed by guides online, but I am getting to the...

I did the lighter trick for the exhaust air velocity setting and I'm wondering if there is a minimum roaster size required for such gauge . My drum roaster is 400g capacity and I set the exhaust air velocity based on the lighter trick seen on Mill City Roaster video. Well, it...
