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...

New version for those who can afford skipping a couple of mortgage payments:

I always enjoy seeing other people's photos and I didn't see a general pictures thread, so I had a fun idea to make a thread where EVERY POST requires you upload a photo!

Want to show off your latest purchase?
Poured some killer latte art?
Got some FIRE new beans!?

Post em...

Had the opportunity to pick up a Molar Z grinder locally off Craigslist. I haven't seen any threads on it here so I thought I'd share my thoughts.

I'd been tracking these since they came out but never thought I'd get a chance to use one. It's a single dosing grinder with...

I think I'm late to the party as usual, has anybody else heard of the Timemore Sculptor 078 grinder, or maybe seen one in person and gotten to try it out?

Mostly, I just think they've knocked it out of the park on design - it's kind of got the overall form of EK43/Fuji-Royal...

My espresso setup is almost fully complete. Advice for pulling your first shots/where to start your espresso journey?

For context I am pretty experienced in coffee, rather experienced in pour over, and run my own roasting company. But I have never pulled a shot of espresso. I...

Hi there.. researching my next machine and have it narrowed down I think to 4 choices..

The LR24, Nurri, and Evo Leva, and then the La Marzocco Linea Micra as a 4th option.. and my head is spinning.. falling into analysis paralysis and I'm just wondering if someone more...

Hello Folks,

This is just me sitting there staring at my Niche Zero and thinking perhaps I could do something with it. Sir far, I found 2 upgrades that I'm interested in:

Bellow upgrade:
I love my Niche 0.1g, sorry Zero. While this is not a big deal, Niche Zero always leave...

I know this has been discussed just can't find the discussion. For one reason or another I decided to try a port filter on the bottom of my PF and I must say from the 3 shots pulled it's almost eye opening. I know it removes oils and possibly the beautiful tiger striping...

It was interesting that two coffees (use partly beans from same region) from two roasters, both came with the specific instruction of No PI. Which was a first for me.

1) SO: Ethiopia Guji 50% Hambela, 50% Tabe Burka
Recipe: 18.2g, 28sec, 38ml, 93C, ESP. No PI

2) Blend:...

James Hoffmann released a one cup V60 video a few days ago, and it's somewhat different from his original technique. Its essentially just a flat pouring speed with 10 second breaks between each pour. I used Onyx's Geometry blend and it was very good! I have always been somewhat...

Hello Vesuvius Owners,

I got the quote today. While searching in the forums, there are a lot of complaints about temperature stability on lever machines in general. Is there testing done to demonstrate Vesuvius'a ability to do consecutive shots and long shots? How does it...

Waiting for nothing or do you think it will happen?

If so what would you buy from their offerings now?

To Dan - If you can make this into a poll please do as well.

After 7+ years I'm finally upgrading from my Breville Dual Boiler. I'm tired of keeping this thing going (replaced the brew pump, solenoid x2, countless O-rings, pressure profile slayer mod...and more)...now the steam boiler seems to be going (I think it's the heating element)....

I'm ready to step up from blade grinders I've used for ever to a super budget minded steel burr grinder. What can you recommend under $100 USD that will give me improved coffee for espresso, single serving drip over cup, french press, and cold brew?

I'm on a really tight budget...

Hi all,

I recently got my swift mini. The automatic tamping has a problem. Some coffee powder will be built up at the edge of the filter basket. I tried all of the 3 baskets come with the grinder but the situation is the same.

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?...

Just took delivery of a Moccamaster KBGV I had ordered. Was really excited to get it, but am feeling rather underwhelmed at the feel of it.

The plastic is cheap and thin feeling, the two switches feel like they will break within the year, the glass carafe is so thin I would...

Hey guys!

So I've been loving my Profitec Pro 700 and Niche combo, making great lattes (to my taste) every morning.
My question is: does anyone have a similar experience, and/or know the science behind, the phenomenon of the milk level in the frothing pitcher continuing to...

As an owner of older e61 hx machine I have following questions:
1. Do you need to do a flush before each shot (temperature surfing) or it is not necessary for a PID controller dual boiler machine?
2. I'm used to do backflush with detergent once a week (after 20-30 shots). But...

Hello!

I am new to the forums and this is my first post. I have a lot to learn and have found the topics to be already so helpful. I've recently acquired a Faema Lambro lever machine in pretty good condition. It could use some cleaning up and I haven't begun to take things...
