I was wondering if anyone has ever purchased a used grinder here or on Ebay, had problems and contacted the manufacturer and asked for help. How responsive have they been? Do they honor warranties on second-hand grinders if the grinder is still under warranty? Will they repair...

Am enjoying Onyx Geometry on my Londinium '17 L1, with Ceado E37s SSP. But I have to use a few crutches to get the shots I want, and am unsure of the best way to improve technique. I recognize the R24's pre infusion would solve my question, but the L1 is what I've got.

It seems acknowledged that the single dosing flat burr grinders regarded as the titan grinders of this generation seems to be the monolith max, the p100 and the weber eg-1.

I recall that it was determined on this forum that the power rating for the monolith Max's BLDC motor was...

Hi all, just got a Flair 58 last weekend - I've had Bianca and Decent recently. I see a lot of potential in the 58 and I am still getting used to it. For the time being, I am just doing 5-8 seconds of preinfusion at 2 bars and than ramping up to 9 and holding there until the end...

After a long wait, finally received the long-awaited classic magic machine

TL;DR - I designed a circle cutter that trims AeroPress filters to fit a variety of portafilter basket sizes (55mm, 46.7mm, 50.8mm, 53mm, 37mm, 56.5mm, 45mm, 53.5mm, 58.5mm).

All files can be downloaded for free on Printables -

If you don't know which size(s) you need, check...

I've been eyeing the Unifilter for months now and I finally bit the bullet--I blame /u/lance-hedrick recent video for reinvigorating my interest in it! At the $365+ price point, it's not exactly let's just try it out and surprisingly there isn't a ton of information or reviews...

Originally shared this in the Espresso Machine forum and wanted to split it off over here since it's more appropriate. To recap, it's my homemade Mazzer 58mm burr battery powered grinder for camping. It grinds all the way from Turkish to coarse using the stepless scale inspired...

I'm a year into learning latte art and I still find it pretty hit and miss.

Despite steaming with the weakest possible steam (1.1 bar, 1 hole tip) in order to make things go as slowly as possible, the resulting milk is highly dependent on how much time I spend stretching the...

Before I jump into the central topic, I just wanna thank the HB community for the past several years as I've been an avid lurker soaking up all the info. :lol: Especially during the time we were locked down as it inspired me to do something coffee related instead of watching the...

Hi all

I want a portable espresso machine and thinking of the Cafflano Kompresso or the Picopresso. Is there anyone who experienced both of them and can share which one be the most easy to operate and clean, and make good cup of espresso? I know a lot of people complain about...

Folks,

I just found out about the Sprover (Espresso Machine Pour Over Style Coffee) method. So I coarsely grind 12g single origin coffee median roast, put it in my billet basket, tamped, then on to the ACS EVO Leva. I pulled the lever down, and waited till I get around 144g...

Hello all,

First time poster. I am glad to be interacting with this awesome community.

I have a Diedrich IR3 roaster manufactured in 2009. my question is: What is the typical longevity on a roaster? I would say that roaster has averaged about 60-100lbs per week (roast time...

Hi, all. I've been considering getting myself an electric gooseneck kettle (like the Fellow Stagg or Cuisinart GK-1) for some time now, but capacity has always been a holdup.

I'm currently using an Oster electric kettle, which I then pour into a nonelectric Hario gooseneck, for...

Has anyone taken delivery on a Knock 2023 Feld grinder. It looks great for home espresso, and Moka pot. Both of which I use daily. I currently am using a Porlex mini tall ii. Will this be a major upgrade? I am thinking grinder first, brewing next.

Hello folks,

I have tried everything but my espresso always comes out sour. Can you please help me improve it?

I use a Sage/ Breville Barista Touch, that is well maintained.
I modded the grinder to make it single dose.
I use fresh coffee.
I updated the basket to an IMS high...

Continuing the ongoing saga of my 2014 Profitec Pro 700 repairs, I finally found a reasonably priced replacement brew boiler and just received it.

(Recap of the previous episodes: it first started with a seized pump , which I replaced. I then noticed that hot water flowed back...

IKAWA sample roasters have been a staple of coffee professionals starting with their introduction in 2013. In the same year, IKAWA launched a Kickstarter campaign for its home roaster. The IKAWA name and its elegant design suggest that it's a Japanese product. But the company is...

Hi everyone -

I have a LMLM that's about 2 years old. Works great, and I really enjoy it. When I bought it I was eyeing up a GS3 MP but counter height didn't allow. That issue is resolved, and so a GS3 is back on the table, but I'm debating instead doing the EMP mod on the...
