Hi All!

I'm new around here and hoping for some help on what machines to look at for the style of shots I'm looking to make. I have a fairly low tolerance for caffeine so for me having 1 double aka 18g dose is it for the day which is kind a bummer. Recently in Italy I had a...

29 pages. I found the first couple pages dry, but was soon engrossed. Plenty of coffee/espresso/post-war...

Do you have any recommendations of an outlet for Italian roast espresso beans in Los Angeles ??? I'm looking for dark, oily, and fragrant - old school.

As roasts get ever lighter, those of us that cut our teeth on classic Italian espresso are often hard pressed to find it.

Wolf Coffee Organic Espresso Roast can take you back.

Ground on the Niche and brewed on the Vibiemme Double Boiler, it has just enough initial bitterness,...

Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question. I know there are several threads on Italian-style espresso on this forum, but some of that information (about roasting, in particular) is quite technical and not very accessible for a beginner like myself.

I'm from Europe, and until...

Hi All,

Sorry, no short hopper available at this time....

Stuck in the Philippines until things calm down. I didn't know about this supplier so got stuck with 10kg of Brazilian Padrao to use as my base for dopios figuring 40-45%, 10% robusta. Looking for 2 other coffees to make up the other 40-45% of hopefully a very Italian style...

I've read that there are Northern Italian and Southern Italian espresso blends, what are they and what is the taste profile for such blends? Do they include robusta beans? Would Blue Bottle 17ft ceiling blend be considered one of those?

I'm collecting some information on traditional Italian espresso and am trying to define what it is more objectively. First I know the coffee is a blend of arabica and robusta but what sort of ratio are we talking about 30%, 20%, 15% Robusta? Also, single shots are typically the...

Hi All, hoping for a little clarification here. As per the INEI, I have adjusted my dose and grind settings to yield ~50ml espresso in ~30s, using 17g beans. I realize this dose is higher than specified but seems ideal for my (18g?) basket. I've been pulling shots like this for...
