As suspected by many with the release of the DF64v featuring variable RPM, a version of the DF83 has followed in the DF83v

From 300-1600rpm, verticle burrs with quite a different aesthetic. Should be interesting!

I'd like to see opinions from those who have used really small home roasters, such as the Ikawa and Kaffelogic, vs larger home roasters, such as the Quest, Huky and Aillio. I see a lot of interest here for those smaller roasters lately.

I've consistently moved up in roaster...

I know that this type of post pops-up often so thank you ahead of time. I am hoping to upgrade my grinder from a Niche Zero. We are moving to our first home and I wanted to take this as an opportunity to make a large grinder upgrade. I have tried my hardest to do my research and...

I'm hoping someone(s) offers an informed opinion about relative merits and disadvantages. I believe they both have 6-bar springs and overall similar architectures; I'm guessing workflows are similar. I presume both are excellent. I'm primarily interested in in-the-cup results or...

I have a P100 I use with Linea Mini and my shots are all over the place. Wondering if other P100 owners are able to get consistent shots?
I've worked with LM so I know the Linea Mini is operating properly. I keep my prep process exact but (18g basket) 17g in 34g out vary from 12...

I've been drinking mostly filter coffee (Kalita or drip). I order my beans from online roasters and definitely taste a difference between fresh beans and older, store-bought ones.

Now that I'm just getting into espresso, I feel like it would be a shame to waste my nice beans on...

Hello friends, this is my first post to the forum after years of lurking. Be gentle.

I own both an actual Ditting 807 LabSweet and an 807F w/Lab Sweet burrs for commercial purposes and have owned these and used them almost exclusively for about 2 years now. To get the obvious...

Hey y'all -

I've been considering trading in my LR24 in the name of scratching my upgrade itch and exploring the Decent's turbo profiles (extractamundos dos and turbobloom). Have been finding that the shots my Londinium gives are a bit too syrupy/jammy for my liking, even with...

I'm in the process of remodeling a very small kitchen and need all the counter space I can get. One option our contractor has available is to build a recessed cubby into the wall that would house one ECM Synchronika and make its face flush with the wall-freeing up the counter...

I purchased my Rancilio Silvia in the early 2000's sometime and about 10 years ago upgraded to a Kitchenaid burr grinder (KCG0702CU). I descale, clean and change the gasket pretty regularly and I never use the wand (and never will on a new model). I like light roasts and...

Okay so I want to start home roasting.
I did quit a bit of research and I'm currently pondering between:

1) Ikawa Home
2) Kaffelogic Nano7e

My Budget is around 1.500€ and ideally it is easy enough for a beginner like me but has the potential to learn and improve. Badge size...

Hey all!

I'm currently having trouble brewing due to TBT being too long on V60, Kalita, and Origami. 15g 5 pours 250 - can reach 3:30 to 4:00 since I changed to EK43 standard stock burr post-2015.

Filter: Abaca Medium Dark Roast
Grind Size: tried 8-16 range on EK43
Coffe...

I am shopping for a second espresso setup for a mountain cabin. Currently I drink French press when I'm there, but I certainly miss being able to pull a shot or a morning milk drink.

My setup at home is a QM Vetrano 2B with an H1G grinder, which has been serving me well for...

Hi all!
I've had this machine for years and relied on this forum to help me troubleshoot and repair everything from O-rings to steam wand to pumps, OPV and solenoids. I'm grateful for all the help!

But it seems that I'm at a junction where I need to decide on feasibility of a...

Has anyone tried the insulating tape made for automobile exhaust manifolds for an espresso boiler?

My Mahlkönig K30 turns on but when i try to activate the grinder the grind does not start. I can turn on the grinder, and the menu is accible, but the grinder will not start. When i place my portefilter nothing happens. I have tried to take it apart and replace a fuse, but it...

So I do the standard dial in procedure, start with dose then move into yield then grind, I set temp at the offset based on roast profile. Now that we have a formidable pressure profiling machine and another incoming I would like to carefully explore pressure profiling.

So far...

Ok, I just typed out a whole spiel about how I'm simplifying my life, minimising my material goods to only what's essential and gives me joy... however, it was a ramble but that sort of mentality is partly why I'm posting this.

I think I'm ready and possibly more interested in...

Hi all,

I've reading a lot of posts on water quality and chloride on here but would still love your advice.

I own a plumbed in espresso machine in an area with medium/high water hardness. I just recently found out that our chloride levels are 102 mg/l which was a shock.

After...

The Olympia Cremina is my grail home espresso machine but I have not yet pulled the trigger. I use a Kafatek MC4 and a Cafelat Robot. I've been happy with this setup for years. I prefer manual simplicity but I also love milk drinks, which the Robot doesn't do and the Cremina...
