Downgrading from Slayer. Options sought.

Decent as well. I downsized to a smaller home with only a 2' wide space for my espresso gear, no water and no drain. Went with the Decent, great choice, great user community that contributes profiles, advice and even alternative user interfaces for the tablet

Breville Dual Boiler Mods and Maintenance

I don't think she was even allowed to use BDB in a commercial setting. Not only she would loose the warranty or any protection plan, she is breaking the law as well since it is not certified to be used in that environment but she did it anyways.

Fellow Aiden anyone?

Excellent point, for the same cost to save a shelter animal or feed a starving child somewhere in the developing world, you could have a machine that does pourovers for you! Yes, we are all warped in our values when it comes to our hobbies

Water, no scale? no corrosion? For reservoir espresso machines

I started with distilled with the Potassium Bicarbonate capsules, and then checked out the Crystal Geyser at my local grocer. I'm in Northern CA, and as I suspected, it is from the Weed, CA

Any alternative to Behmor?

Hats off to you folks for roasting on the Behmor for so many years! I only used mine for seven years. Glad I upped my game but I felt like it took me a solid year or more to learn and begin to get comfortable with a more advanced roaster. Just something to consider if you ever decide to
