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....

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...

Hoping to learn more about this machine as used in the US. Clearly it's gorgeous, and can make amazing espresso. Wondering how it achieves temp stability in the group. The website says just walk up and pull a shot no temp management needed. How does that work - surely it is an...

$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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey! I have a sage due temp and am trying to master the art of latte art! I'm getting a nice glossy feel to my milk and have a thermometer so am steaming to approx 60-65c. I just can not get my art to push round the edge of the cups and spread to the whole cup. Feel like I can't...

Hello everyone, at home I have some some coffee machines: Faema Faemina, LP Europiccola, LP Professional, Elektra Microcasa, Cafelat Robot and Faemina Baby (incomplete). But I want another machine, I want an open boiler one. I know there is the Caravel but it has the volume...

So I just started using a puck screen. Is there anything I should know about cleaning it? Is a simple water rinse after each shot enough? Any issues with using Calfeza once a month when I backflush my machine?
