Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket
That thinness is what is coming out of my moka pot at all times. Maybe a tiny bit wider. I have an ascaso mini i2

ECM Synchronika - Brew Lever Very Difficult to Operate
Resuscitating this thread... I have a similar issue, but I've opened up the cam and greased it all up nicely, but after 6ish weeks, it gets stiff again. After lubing, it's like butter, but now it sticks a bit. No chemical or detergent backflushing at all in between. It doesn't squeak or anything, and mostly moves fine, just sort of

Gear Pump Noise VBM Domobar Super
Hi guys, I am looking to get the VBM Domobar Super Electronic and saw some videos of the different versions. The noise from the gear pump seems really loud for a machine like this. Has anyone opened up the machine and tried to insulate the gear pump with noise insulating material/foam sheet etc?

Looking for Liberica
I ordered some green beans a few months ago from NewOrleans coffee including a pound of the Phillipines liberica batangas. I finally got around to roasting in my freshroast and found this thread when looking for roasting guidance. I just want to share that I really like the straight espresso and milk drinks I made and encourage anyone to

Please advise me on my grinder 'journey'
That's good to hear about the K series. My K Ultra makes great pour over. I have experimented with various coffees, but I think the issue is wiht the Gaggia as it is now. I don't get a feel for temperature or pressure, and I struggle to get a consistent, far less tasty shot. Have

Breville Infuser - fix myself or send in?
I have a Breville Infuser that is 13 years old. Worked great for several years but eventually solenoid issue arose. I couldn't get parts at the time , so I packed it up and it has sat in storage for 5 years now. I've pulled it back out and I think I could make the necessary repairs...or I could send

Weber Workshop BIRD: How's the brew?
5 Minute steep time ..... hmmm. IN the videos the guy pours all the water in at once, spins those spinners about a dozen times and extracts. I suppose time varies by grind, water temp and agitation like with every other method. So, the finer the grind the lower the extraction time? OR is long saturation time something you can

Please advise me on my grinder 'journey'
I think that you'll find the DF 54 becomes a throwaway grinder. I've used a K-series grinder and get good results with a machine as simple as a Cafelat Robot. The first thing I would try changing would be the coffee

Breville Dual Boiler Mods and Maintenance
Is there a way to tell how old a machine is? I'm positive it's older than 2018, bought it used to play with in 2021 and that owner had it for a couple years and did the Slayer mod (I did the brass stuff etc), but he also bought it used from someone whom had it years prior (it's a
