Hello there. Its time for me to update my mazzer major grinder. Problem is the selection in my country is not good. I would prefer buying from my country as the warranty period is quite good by law. What i can get ahold now quite easily is:

Ceado E37S and single dose version...

Hey all
I've been enjoying some shots recently with Stumptown's Hairbender. It's been weird though that the most complex shots have been fast. My NS Oscar 2 has an opv set to 8 bar. Shots are 17.5g in a HQ 14g basket, 32 to 34g out in 20 seconds. When I grind finer, or even up...

This hack should work with any espresso machine that has a manual flick-up-and-down or spring loaded power switch.

I have a Rancilio Pro X. Although it has a built-in timer to turn on the device it is not flexible enough for my needs. For about 10 dollars you can buy a wifi...

Hello HBers, I am intrigued by the KVDW Speedster and love its classic and eccentric styling. Not to mention, based on my light duty research many claim it to be in the top five (5) of single group home espresso machines. This would be strictly for home use, between my wife and...

Hi all,
I am totally new to the espresso machines world, but have been tampering with manual shots brewing weight/time, and breville smart grinder + bambino plus.

I mainly make double espressos and milk drinks/lattes, occasionally 5-15 at a time for a family events.

I am...

I bought a second Kinu manual grinder, this time Kinu Simplicity, and I also motorized this one. This motorization is more electronic, the electrical parameters of the motor are indicated on the front panel, as well as the grinding speed.

Hi all,

I'm getting ready to the pull the trigger on a bentwood vertical 63 and was wondering if any current or past owners would like to share how they feel about it, for both espresso and filter coffee. I'm particularly interested in how it compares to other endgame grinders...

I have realized that on the occasions when my Kalita Wave (Tsubame stainless steel edition if that matters) stalls - lifting the brewer up about 5mm off the cup it is sitting on causes the flow to resume again.

Why is this happening? Does the seal between the bottom of the Wave...

Refurbing a 2011 PL41, and there's some leaking around two of the plumbing joints. How essential do you guys find the thread locking glue in this regard?

Have I already had the best coffee that I'll ever have?
Or is the pinaccle cup out there waiting for me?

This is a tough question for at least two reason.
1) THE BEST coffee is really hard to produce, source, roast and prepare.
2) Our tastes/preferences are always changing and...

Hi guys, have watched a dozen youtube videos but cannot quite understand why I'm not getting good results.

I have a Breville Express and use Arabica beans from Amazon (will probably buy them fresh going forward).

I use the double basket with 18g of coffee and it runs for about...

Husband and I dodged the covid bullet since the beginning, but finally got it & starting to feel better after about a week. Didn't have symptoms as bad as a lot of people have, so that I am thankful for. Right now I have coughing with some mucous coming from the chest. I noticed...

Hi,

newly registered here, but have lurked a bit before. I have a Sage Dual Boiler and an ECM *something* grinder that I'm considering upgrading if worthwhile. As I'm writing this I'm not home to check the exact model of my grinder, but it looks very similar to the Anfim K2:...

I realize this presenter isn't for everyone, but I was fascinated that the original Mr. Coffee design aimed for 200F brew temps, had separate control for the hotplate so the hotplate didn't get hot enough to destroy the brewed coffee, and had an adjustable basket so the coffee...

Hello mates, just want to hear some opinions here.

So the espresso machine that I use at work is Mastrena 2. Sometimes I like to tilt the cup/shot glass when I'm pulling espresso shots so the shots don't have bubbles in them. One of my supervisors said I shouldn't do that and...

Hopefully this hasn't been posted before

Every time I try to steam milk on my la pavoni I get huge soap bubbles right at the start. I've tried starting with the wand at different heights in the milk, but that doesn't seem to change anything. My boiler pressure is between...

i will admit, I am a newbie but eager and willing to learn. I will be purchasing a Decent De1 white xxl as soon as I receive notification the the Niche grinder I ordered shipped. I have a Saeco Xelsis Superauto which I used for number of years but I want great coffee and have the...

Does anyone on the forum have user experience with this machine? I am very interested.

I was wondering if anyone with experience with a m47 and a variety of electric grinders could comment on what electric grinders would give the same quality grind as a m47 and what electric grinders would be even better than the m47 for espresso?

I'm asking because I am planning...

For years V60 and Technivorm have been my go-to brewers for filter coffee, and my Clever and Bonavita immersion drippers rarely saw the light of day.

Well I recently acquired a Hario Switch and have been playing around with various recipes, and much to my surprise the full...
