Is this a new product from Bosco? Hopefully it has an internal reservoir.

Hey everyone I keep reading how conical Burt grinders give espresso more body than flat burr grinders and wanted to see if it's a significant difference with anyone with experience. I see so much conflicting things but the most I've seen is that conical does give espresso better...

When I connect both the Stagg EKG and Sculptor to a 230V 15A power socket I can hear the motor struggle to reach full rpm. Is this because both appliances combined require more than 15A of power? I also feel like the grounds produced are sub optimal when I grind coffee while the...

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...

I recently purchased the 80mm super-lattice (ceramic) coated steel Ditting/Mahlkoenig dual-screw burrs from fellow Home-Barista user jpboyt. James Pat Boyt is the owner of Boyt Enterprises and supplies loads of different burr offerings. What piqued my interest in these burrs was...

Roasted up a small batch (130g) of Nicaragua Buena Vista Obata using an 8-minute (IKAWA) linearly-declining RoR roast profile to what looked like a City-ish roast level - at least that's what it...

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...

Hello all!

I've recently started down the road of trying to appreciate coffee more deeply, after enjoying it without thinking too hard about it for years ;). I've been trying different specialty coffees since I started making espresso at home, and I've dialed in a few that I...

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...

Aeropress announced four new items last month at Ambiente 2023:
Aeropress XL is twice the volume of the original. Appears to be made of the current polypropylene and its dimensions are both wider and taller than the original. It may take a new larger paper filter, and it's...

I make a lot of americanos on my single boiler machine, which has me filling my cup via the steam wand. But since it's a single boiler, as long as I don't put it in steam mode, it comes out at the brew temp, which is nice, however since it's a steam wand, it comes out in 2 small...

Hi Everyone,

I picked up what I believe to be a Zacconi Rivera manual lever machine. The previous owner had lost the portafilter and the unit has more or less been sitting for god knows how long. It starts up just fine and holds pressure steady to 9-10 bar. I was able to get...

Any Canuks here ever order Olympia parts or machines/grinders from Cerini? If so, were you ever charged duty across the border? Quality Coffee Systems in Vancouver sells Olympia but they sometimes don't have what I'm looking for. For example, I have been considering buying a...

We purchased our Victoria Arduino E1 Prima about 1 1/2 years ago. We've been lucky and have had no issues until yesterday. During the warm up cycle when it began heating the steam boiler, I heard a buzzing/chattering noise and then it lost all power. The power switch on 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...

I bought a Fellow Ode v2 shortly after they were released (after returning the v1 due to static issues) and have generally been really impressed.

However, about 6 weeks in I'm getting static issues very similar to the first version. It's been brushed out regularly as per...

I just got back from a month in Indonesia and had the pleasure of drinking some incredible coffee that blew me away, made with relatively inexpensive espresso gear.

There's a great coffee scene in Indonesia and a wide gamut of flavors depending on the roast level, variety and...

I am wondering what would be my best upgrade path in grinders only for pour over. I do not drink espresso and would like to have a plan to get my best cup of coffee.
Currently I have a 1zpresso jmax (got it for a good price) and was thinking about my upgrade paths.
Would it be...
