I took a few years off HB. When I left, WDT was understood to help folks having a hard time with even extraction but the general consensus was that if you can avoid it altogether your shots will be better.

These days I see a dozen brands with WDT tools and grinder manufacturers...

Has anyone tried this yet or know anything about it? i've only gotten some other stuff from them. Variable rpm 70-165 (not sure how this is really variable). Some smart feature. Uses 191C Mazzer 63mm conical burr. I just like how it looks and perhaps work flow would be good. I...

Help! I was grinding on my Niche and suddenly this flies out and it stops grinding and won't grind. What do I do?

Looking for a good grinder to complement my Streitman CT2 and Quick Mill 0961 Milk Steamer. The list:

1. $1,500 max.
2. Not made in China. Ex. Niche Zero.
3. Chrome or stainless look/body.
4. I will only be making espresso so changing grind settings routinely not important.
5....

Ok guys, I've been around for a while but I've stuck FIRMLY in the drip coffee world due to it being super simple, and not wanting to clutter my life with a devices (well a million devices MORE than I already have) so I stayed away from espresso.

However, over the last year...

Hi comrades,
I am Abhishek from India. After spending the Nile's hours reading about machines, I took the plunge. Dan's review and him pulling shots on Profitec 800 was helpful in deciding. I have started a small cafe in a garage. I also roast coffee on Bullet. Idea is to focus...

Hi, I have a Pavoni Lever. Love it. In the lever group they are all of the opinion you ALWAYS tamp to an exact pressure. I home roast normally light or medium. I love fresh roasts as they are more tart. With every day of resting the coffee changes as the c02 leaches out. Flavors...

seem p64 almost impossible to get in us.
so I'm looking for alternative espresso single dose grinder (could be hopper) around $2k budget,
any recommendation? thinking e65s not gbw version but not sure about it.
Atom 75 seems has great review but idk not not really appealing to...

Quick context: I drink a ton of coffee and I make pretty good money (I'm a software engineer). Recently I bought a Niche Zero to up my filter coffee / AeroPress game and it was life changing. I'm still riding high on how much more enjoyable my morning routine is with a proper...

I was mildly curious about the Z-P6 grinder after Lance's endorsement video. I've seen examples of products Lance endorsed actually kind of sucking (lately there have been a slew of complaints about the Camperista3D chute for the DF64 which Lance wholeheartedly endorsed), so...

It's been a while since the Melodrip launched, I read the pre-release thread from 2017 - Melodrip and the later thread from 2018 - My pleasant surprise with the Melodrip

but there doesn't seem to be much discussion since other than random mentions of it.

what's the latest...

I just acquired one of these at a local Auction house.

It is a 2 Group machine using the 'new' CMA Brasilia Condor Londinium Bosco Lever group and is designed to plumbed in.

I have both a user manual and a parts manual supplied by the manufacturer in pdf format. Not sure how...

Hi, my espresso machine has recently sprung a leak, a small plastic connecting piece which attaches 2 sections of hose together has a hole. I would like to know what the part is called and where I might get one. I have a picture but don't seem to be able to attach it.

Can anyone recommend the best of the best roasters who provide easy shipping to the UK.

I drink light roast pretty much exclusively, I drink fruit bombs the most, but love an occasional floral, my big love is naturals though!

I'm looking for roasters who are at the top of...

In the last few months I upgraded to a Lelit Bianca V3 and a Flair 58, coming from another E61 + lever duo that served me relatively well for the last 5 years or so - a QuickMill Alexia Evo and an Elektra Micro Casa a Leva. Both the Lelit and the Bianca are clear upgrades in cup...

Taking a cruise soon. I usually just buy coffee where I vacation and find the good local spots. The stuff onboard last time was trash even the Coffee shop I don't expect this to have changed. I tried to make pour-overs onboard, and it was awkward and not worth it.

So... anyone...

I bought a used GS3 a few months ago and have been enjoying it. I immediately had to replace the portafilter gasket because it was hard and cracked. I used the Cafelet Silicone gasket and its been great. I figured I'd need to replace some more things due to the neglect of that...

Got the new Forte and my first attempt at FP with 30g/500 g at 203 resulted in a fairly smooth cup, uncertain about the taste at this point being the first cup.

I was following a 4 min initial, followed by 5 mins. However, I noticed that after the initial 4 mins, all the...

My Macap M4 grinder (flat burr) was bought in 2006 - mostly used as an espresso grinder - but also used sometimes for pour over, French Press. I changed burrs 2 years ago.
Now - I recently sold my only espresso machine (Elektra Semi Automatica - also from 2006)

I plan to buy a...

Hi all,
Long time lurker and it's upgrade time. A few years ago I bought a Salvatore heat exchanger from number9 on the forum and it's been a staple on my counter Salvatore Famosa (Siena) semi automatic, copper and jade . A few group gaskets later, and I find myself using a...
