Decent Espresso news
Thank you for the detailed response. The new features make a lot of sense, the steam cutoff when milk is at the correct temp, integrated scales and the faster heat up with quieter pumps.

The genetic history of modern coffee cultivars
Wow! Thanks. This is much better than the articles I've seen previously. The picture you reprint shows how most of the genetic diversity of Arabica lies in Ethiopian varietals.

Odyssey Argos owner experience
Another alternative would be to fill it full and then use a syringe of "X" volume to suck the level back down where it belongs. Do this a couple times and figure out how much water needs to be added when the light comes on ought to be easy enough. Let's say you add half a liter of

The genetic history of modern coffee cultivars
Published yesterday in Nature Genetics tl;dr: Arabica coffee plants came from Robusta and Eugeniodes a long time ago, and not through human intervention. This work should help in developing future desirable varietals. - {link} {image}

La Marzocco Linea Mini brew boiler overheats the water
Hi, I've had similar issues. Brew boiler over heating and no steam pressure. I had the board replaced by a tech and things were ok for a while. Then both problems reappeared.

Moving to a flat burr grinder from Sette: what's the best option available in EU right now?
Make a checklist for yourself. 1) are you dong sngle dosing or on demand grinding? 2) Are you using the grinder for espresso and low acid roasts only, or are you going with more acidic roasts and other kinds of brewing.
