First impressions on youtube (My Coffee Show). {video}

Yet another manual espresso machine from kickstarter (but looks interesting). There are 2 versions. The lever version(like the newton brua with 51mm portafilter) and the hand crank version(like the rossa hc with 51mm portafilter). The usual portafilter would make it easier to brew multiple shots. {v...

Longer pre infusion under about 2-4[atms] would avoid channeling

Thank your responding. My needle valve is solid. I can brew espresso with mine. But it is unstable when stand mine upside down. And the valve knob looks ugly a little and this is annoying. I sent email to Ross with some pics. Thank you

I purchased portaspresso tr (with pressure gauge) and received it today. The valve knob is twisted (tilted) so much. I attached the picture.

Recently I received my espressoforge v2.1 and make some cups of espresso with it everyday. I grind city roasted coffee beans with LIDO-E. My question is my LIDO-E is OK or not.
