After a few years with my Lelit Bianca, I decided to explore a bit in the area of dripped coffee with the Hario V60. Tempted initially for the Ode gen2 grinder, I finally opted for the manual grinder 1Zpresso sp6 . The grinder should produce very clear cups, described also as...

Hi all,

I've never used an espresso maker of any kind before! :D But I'm helping a family member get a 1985 Olympia Cremina back into operation, which seemed to be in excellent condition except that water would force itself out of the group before the machine fully came up to...
