The machine has been in development for a while, and has been delayed, but is now in early production and will ship soon. It is a commercial machine. In the future, it will be interesting to see if the technology comes down to home use - where induction might be a game changer....

Could be good or bad, i.e. I can't believe I didn't do/use XYZ back in 2023 or I can't believe I used to do/use XYZ back in 2023

For me: I think grinding by weight will become ubiquitous.

TLDR: what's the difference between a day in the sealed bag as delivered, vs a day after that bag is opened for the first time?

Talking here about the rule of thumb that beans are best used somewhere in the 7-21 days after roasting. Don't want to get into any differences...

Having just tried Sey for the first time, I'm wondering if i got a bad bag, or of this is just the style. The coffee is a washed Colombian, 3 weeks off roasting.

The whole beans smelled vegetal, the grounds smelled vegetal. After cooling, in the cup is a prominent citrus...

After I saw the video clip on barista hustle's upcoming autocomb, I went looking for alternatives that are already available that mechanise the wdt process and make it more consistently the same from shot to shot. I came across the following...

Has anyone used this...

In the market for a new machine as an upgrade to my 10yr old Gaggia Classic. I like the GC for the ease of repair (I've had to put in new thermostats and switch group) and minor mods for OPV and steam wand.
I've recently been more into espresso and upgraded to a Eureka...

I've never tried Passenger's coffee and figure it's time to change that. Happy to hear recommendations for what to try. I'm likely to avoid the extra precious ($) stuff, and will primarily brew as V60 and Chemex.

Thank you!

All other things being equal, anyone believe there is a machine with parts and build quality to rival La Marzocco?

That's a major driver of what I want in my next (last?) machine. While we're at at, anyone have a preferred seller for La Marzocco? The price seems standard, but...

The most common answer to this question is brush before drinking , and the argument is that coffee is acidic which leaves teeth enamel more exposed to damage. One should apparently wait at least 30 minutes after drinking and before brushing. Or something along those lines.

What...

Ms Silvia seems to hold its value really well. I've seen sellers demanding $500+ for ~20 year old v2 machines. Most listings are for v2, v3, and they go for at least $400-500. Newer v5+ tends to ask for $600+. Does it make sense to pay that much for such old machines? Wouldn't...

$5 for 8000 words. I just bought the PDF and had a quick scan. I can't really summarize without giving away the whole paper, but if you liked Hoos' Modulating ... publication then this is in a similar prescriptive style, but on one topic. In terms of prescriptions, probably most...

Hi folks,

My 2 year old Quickmill QM67 has been working great until recently when the pressure won't hit 9 bars for almost 15-18 seconds.. I tried using a blind basket and the pressure hit 10 bars only after about 14 seconds. It used to reach the 10 bar pressure within 6-8...

Title might be a little obscure and I'm not entirely sure this is 100% the right section.

I'll try to explain myself:

I've seen many posts and watched several tests regarding how burr shape (flat vs conical) and geometry will affect the taste in the cup.

I've read extremely...

Yep, exactly! :) Francesco knows what he's doing!

Do you mind sharing some info on your PID? Mine is 220V and I was going to pull the plug (ha!) on a plug adapter and a 110V heating element from Brooks.

Hello,

I always wanted to get a WAFO basket for my LSM group head after watching Brian Quan's YouTube Video:

So I reached out to WAFO and was told they only make 58.5mm basket. When asked about customizing a 54mm basket, the answer was:

Not sure what that suppose to mean, but...

I'm after a tamper upgrade as I'm not happy with how much effort it's taking me to achieve a level (i.e. not canted) puck with my standard tamper.

I'm struggling to wrap my head around the Normcore tamper.

I can see if you have a spring loaded tamper that isn't self-levelling...

Hello everybody, I'm a new member and this is my first post in the board.

It's been roughly 12 months (i'm in my 30s) since I began my journey into coffee (eith Aeropress)..

In the past week the desire to move into Espresso has constantly increased, been gathering a lot of...

Hey

I have Slayer single group and it does vibrate on 0 bar without portafilter but if I used blind basket there's nothing.

anyone had this problem before?

Hi there.
I am new here and would like to hear your advices.
I am using my Cafelat Robot with my 1Zpresso JX Pro, mainly for medium roast, and making 90% cortado. 1-2 cups a day.
Lately I started to get tired of manual grinding and considered to buy an electric grinder.
The 2...

I replaced the burrs to my 15 year old Cunill grinder, but now cannot grind fine enough, even at the point of the burrs touching. They are generally well aligned using the marker test: the bottom spinning burr had little marker left and appears uniform; I needed to shim the top...
