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:

Last night I headed over to Kafatek's site to re-read the details of the MC5 and see if any information was available about the next pre-order window. To my surprise, one MC5 was available for pre-order. I quickly put it in the cart and ordered it immediately. A flat max is...

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 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...

First of all: I mostly knew what to expect beforehand, so I'm not complaining, but rather just ranting a little :wink: .

Anyhow I was a little disappointed at first nonetheless.
I got myself a brand new Europiccola two months ago, when I decided that my French Press needed a...

Problem, fast extraction, watery and thin taste.

I'm using 2-CUP 58 mm 14-18 g 70x24.5 mm basket, stock for the Quickmill Vetrano and Compak E5 grinder with Orphan Espresso single dosing collar, and when previously using Doma Carmelas, had been doing 18gms, 200f brew temp,...

I just saw this pop up today. Seems like with the particular burrs for this conversion kit didn't blow away the reviewer. $250 and it's not up for sale on the sworks web site yet.

At 2:19, he says the burrs are Faema F(?)MPN 54mm espresso-focused burrs, which then leads into...

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...

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...

Hello! I just bought a LaRocca Alin coffee maker for home use (espresso only), and I'm looking for a grinder. I've been thinking about these alternatives:

HeyCafe HC-600,

HeyCafe Titan II,

Eureka Zenith 65 Neo,

Cunill Tranquilo Tron,

I would appreciate if you could...

Hello,

I am recently hooked with lever machine. After carefully researching, Londinium shot is what I am looking for. I like medium roast. 1 latte and 1 espresso only Mon-Fri, 2 latte and 1 espresso Sat. Sun.

This is what I use:

Grinder:
Niche

Current machine:
AeroPress...

Hello,

I am currently a aeropress user and looking for an espresso machine for home. So far, I have already spend around a month researching the machines and found I must get a lever machine.

The only problem is: I have never tried the taste of lever espresso machine myself....

Orphan Espresso has 20% off everything until November 27th. They have some nice accessories for the Cafelat Robot.

Any other good deals out there?

Hi all.

I just got a Ceado E37S that's just a tad too tall (maybe 1/8 ) to fit under my cabinet. The rubber feet are pretty thick, and I'm thinking I can replace them with thinner ones. Has anyone else done this? If so, where can I source them?

I know I could also grind down...

I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to roast profiles specific to air popcorn poppers.

Most of the roast profiles shared here are based on other - quite different roasting platforms. Beyond a very general sense, these profiles are rather difficult to apply to...

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...

People who grind both for espresso and pour over... How far are you from your espresso setting to your pour over one? Am new to pour over (again...) and want a starting reference to try. Will use a Stagg X or an Origami, playing with both since I bought them about a year ago.

I...

I delved into my Key as it's had a month of break in and I was getting a large clack when I dropped the beans in, and I also wanted to add some Super Lube to the gear drive.

I first very closely inspected the alignment and it is exceptional, one slight issue is if I pushed on...

Hey everyone,

I'm looking at purchasing some Passalacqua Harem whole bean coffee from enjoybettercoffee.com.

The website is selling a batch which is best before June 2023. Does anyone have experience drinking Passalacqua coffees that close to the expiration date? All of their...
