Looking for a berry bomb coffee. The natural Ethiopians from my local roasters are not cutting it. I want some berries.

I had an amazing bag from Red Rooster Ethiopia Worka Sakaro Anaerobic Natural, but they don't have anything else in stock like that.

Odyssey Espresso Argos finally arrived!

I'll write more as I get used to the new machine but initial impression is even better than hoped! This has been an almost 2 year wait (August '21). Fit and finish are top notch. Very well thought out. Pleasantly surprised as I was...

If it lives up to the specs it seems pretty cool with room for advanced options in the future. Any takers of the pre-order? Any naysayers have some naysaying to do?

Hi everyone! I've been using a Yosan roaster for half a year now, and I almost always get tipping on the beans (always on natural processing). I understand the nature of tipping. I've tried changing the batch size from 400-1500g, the loading temperature from 140-210, the drum...

I picked up a non-functional Fiorenzato Bricoletta to repair, and I started tearing it down to clean it before really digging into the problem... and I don't recognize this part. I did a quick browse on espressoparts.com to see if I could visually match it, but had no luck. I...

I have been using the Quickmill Achilles 0996 for over 10 years now, and am looking for a new lever machine.

I was hoping that some of the current Vecis users can help me out with some use case and workflow issues.

90% of the time I pull three shots (split with my wife) and...

I read through a thread here about going back to a hopper style grinder because singe dose was too much work. I'm going in the opposite direction.

My first grinder was a huge machine that you used to find in grocery stores to grind a pound of coffee. I used it for drip coffee....

Hi,

This is a continuation to the modification I did on an IKAWA Home roaster. I post it in a separate post as the data capture could be helpful on other roasters.

I have added a humidity sensor to the Ikawa exhaust, still lots of work to do but it captures well the FC. The...

I just got a Weber Key grinder. The recomended grind speed is about 70RPM. It takes about a minute to grind 16g. My previous grinder, a Baratza Sette 270Wi sounded like it ground at 10,000RPM. It would grind 16g in about 10 seconds. I'm gladly giving up that speed for the super...

I had been looking at my local ads for a while waiting to pounce on a decent resto project. There are probably better machines out there, but this one is well documented on this site. And anything should be a workflow upgrade over my current Flair with an old DeLonghi EC680 for...
