Fellow's new brewer - Aiden Q&A
Given the ability to interchange baskets, has any thought been put into allowing for different shapes of the single-serve basket? What about a conversion kit to allow it to be plumbed in?

Odyssey Argos owner experience
I would say that a sightglass doesn't make sense - to me - due to the Argos' brew temperature control; I would say that a sightglass reading is only accurate at a constant boiler pressure. It is, of course, traditional to have a sightglass. However, only old/traditional/retro designs have a sightglass now; almost every machine uses a level probe

ACS waiting times
If people who ordered after you are getting their machines now, it's worth dropping Maria at ACS a line and asking if there is some reason, or an option you have chosen, causing the delay? If not, you should ask her to expedite your machine

Downgrading from Slayer. Options sought.
For those types of coffees and shot style you don't need plumbed in pre-infusion, especially if youre using a MAX. To me I think the micra is exactly what youre looking for - It's made for no fuss traditional espresso in apartment's

I feel like my biggest gripe that has made me trigger shy to buy one is the lack of boiler water level visibility. Then also the process of having to refill it and it runs hot enough to burn you on, what seems to be, a significant amount of the machine. Anyone else feeling like the boiler level

Espresso Cafe Suggestions for London?
Algerian Coffee Stores if you can handle robusta. Monmouth is OK. They source their own sugar which is pretty unique. Report back if you find anything noteworthy

Londinium Vectis use cases
I make 3 flat whites every morning. No problem. The Vectis boiler is 1.8 litter so you can't make 8 or 10 drinks without refilling. I can get 5 drinks before I refill

Weber Workshops Key Mk. ii Grinder & User Experience
