I am searching for an affordable roaster (less than $1000) that will do a 1 lb batch (or close to it since Behmor does not do well with 16 oz of greens). My 15-year-old Behmor (original 1600 model) stopped rotating the drum. I can try replacing the drum motor for $30 in parts...
I have had a DF83 V2 for about 3 months now and am using the SSP Cast Burrs with it for espresso. Overall pleased with the results. The one super annoying thing is that as I grinder for a few shots in the morning the grinder warms up and the zero will drift...
I broke my back moving this machine, but I am happy to present one of the wildest Faema Uranias I've ever seen; two hydraulic groups and one hotel group (I DO have the glass, it's in shipment still). The entire shipment was 285lb/130kg. It withstood some abuse, but it survived...
I recently switched to SSP Cast burrs V2 silver and I cannot get decent shot to shot consistency out of . Shots can be 31 seconds and the next one 17 seconds, then 45 seconds. Every else staying the same.

My 5 year old mini started failing to deliver water recently. Checked and solenoid cleaned by a service business.
Unfortunately the problem continued. It turns out if the machine has been on for more than an hour or more - on throwing the switch no click and no water. If I turn...
I LOVE the Argos lever, but I have trouble with the boiler cap (thank you, a lifetime of working with my hands) due to creeping arthritis. Ross kindly sent me a spare boiler cap, so I can think about/make modifications.
Since the cap only turns 1/2 turn, I'm thinking about...
I hope you can help me with the vast expertise in this frorum - I am actually very new to this.
About a month ago I finally installed my new Slayer Single Group at home. Quite an upgrade from my pervious 12 years with Bezzera. I am already loving it and thing that...
Good morning coffee heads. I found an Enrico of Italy CE-12 in a small town antique shop for a few bucks. I know this is not a high quality machine, but it was cheap and looked like fun to restore. It is in decent shape but missing the drip pan and worst of all the portafilter....
