Londinium R group seal?

Interesting. The cafelat piston seals I just put on a week ago seem to be okay so far. They aren't perfectly quiet which is a bit of a surprise but they were an absolute dream to install compared to the londinium seals. Are the bosco seals silicone?

Londinium R group seal?

Thanks guys! Oh goodness. I'm embarrassed I totally forgot about espressoparts even though I just bought cafelat piston seals. Not to mention I live in the same state as espressoparts. To answer the other question below, I had just upgraded my shower screen to the E&B labs e-61 and noticed my origin...

Londinium R group seal?

I love owning my LR. The support is great and it's obviously a fantastic machine. My only issue living in the states is sourcing some parts while trying to avoid the staggering shipping charges. It uses an e-61 shower screen but unfortunately the group seal isn't as easy to find especially when you ...

Niche Zero grinder

Tomas. I went directly from a Pharos to the Niche. Just the physical act of grinding *might* take 40 seconds depending on dose and roast level but it is everything else that adds time. I had to utilize rdt to get almost zero retention. I would hold a small glass cup over the aperture and shake vigor...

Inconsistent shot weight with newly received Niche Zero

Is this the only coffee you have tried? Have you tried a forgiving blend? Have you taken it apart completely down to the sweeper arm, given it a really good cleaning? I wasn't able to watch your video on my phone but with such a huge discrepancy between outputs of the same bean prepped the same way I

Niche Zero grinder

So, I have only had my Niche for about a month and the burrs are still approximately 9 kg from being remotely broken in but I thought I would give a few thoughts for those still on the fence. I have used an un-modded Pharos almost exclusively for the last 3+ years as well as a Hausgrind for at least

Niche Zero grinder

oh, it is...and if you have an account with fedex you can alter the delivery like I did. I had it re-directed to my local ship everything store instead of sitting on my porch for hours which I just couldn't fathom

Recommendation for coffee container/blends

Plenty of air in the container? No. Pushing down the inner lid firmly and locking the lid down is actually quite effective at expelling most of the air. Also, comparing an airscape to a ziploc bag that lets in plenty of light...hmmmm, okay. I am not sure you where you get your information, but maybe...

Recommendation for coffee container/blends

Okay, so you're in Yanbu, which is apparently Saudi Arabia (yes I had to google it). It may be difficult to get freshly roasted coffee there but if you can it will probably be an eye opening experience. Thanks!
