Hi, I was hoping to get some help on this topic. I have a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy one of these machines. There have been a lot of chats about this topic with minimal commitment.

Could users of both machines explain in their opinion which machine is better and why?...

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...

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...

First post, long time lurker. Would appreciate all the help I can get.

Current set up: Ascaso Steel Duo PID v2, Baratza Sette 270wi

100% use of the grinder is for espresso, and 90% of the time we drink light to medium roasts. Our favorite flavors are ones with fruity notes,...

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...

OK, so I am waiting on an NCD/OCD tool to arrive currently and am already using WDT. Working with a Niche and Flair 58x, and just thought an extra level of consistency would be helpful for a newbie like myself. So I have become curious as to whether doing a typical WDT routine...

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.

Hi Gurus :D ,

I'm a total newbie to the coffee industry. I'm in Melbourne Australia and I want to start a food stall business selling some products that need to combine with espresso coffee. I've been doing some research for a few days and heard that the rotary pump and a good...

Hello

Ive noticed when watching travel and foodshows visiting fancy restaurants, that the espresso machines and grinders are always bad or less ideal. I wont name any restaurants, but almost all the michelin restaurants ive seen it in. Whats up with that? The cooks are top of...

I've had the Breville Oracle for about six years and finally decided to venture into making finer espresso. Decided to start with a grinder and pretty much went all in - just picked up the Versalab M4. I am super excited about it and wanted to share some unboxing pictures and 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...

The gearbox went on my four year old Sette, and Baratza, in amazing customer service, shipped me a new one for free. They told me that it has been improved and quieted, and I think that must really has got to be the case. So I would no longer judge the Sette's noise by its early...

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...

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...

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,
Which machine does have the highest level of output consistency?
I have Oracle Touch and it gives different amount of output in each and every shot though I use the internal grinder and same amount of coffee.

Do you think BDB would do better as grinder is external and it...

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...
