This one is sure to get a lot of interest and discussion, so instead of having something in the Green Alert thread, we can have it's own. If you missed the announcement, it's and reads rather pretty.

My greens didn't arrive till almost...

As the title says, I'm a new owner of a Eureka Olympus 75E with Titanium Burrs. I've owned a Vario and Sette over pretty much all of my coffee years (8ish), so this is my first major grinder--and I'm struggling.

I've dialed it in pretty...

(Interestingly, I searched for "downgrade" in the Grinders forum prior to posting this, and many of the resultant hits were about people looking to swap from earlier Baratza grinders to the Sette when it first came out...)

I am...

I just got caught up on the fines thread:

and started watching the Matt Perger video posted there:

He talks about the goal of evenness throughout the coffee process, but before he gets into "fines" and extraction, he talks...

We are buying a nice older house that is a good size but only modest kitchen counter space. My wife does not want two grinders, a large espresso machine, and drip maker to take up that space. We are holding off on doing remodeling other...

Hey,

I've been using 6 cup chemex for the last couple of months.

I usually do 25/400, yielding a bit over 300g of coffee.

Hello All,
I've been lurking here for quite some time and have finally gotten the bug to participate. Short story of why this post. Camping with 30+ family and friends, I found myself cooking and serving coffee for all. Being a coffee snob...

I have had this never ending problem with early blonding + bad flavor with every coffee for YEARS. I have tried everything at this point. Super Jolly, Compak K10, K30 Vario, WDT, no WDT, Pullman Chisel. My Profitec Pro 700 absolutely sucks...

I've read lots of the plumbing advice threads, but this applies more specifically to those that have custom built or remodeled a kitchen to include plumbing in and out your espresso machine.

Any MAX owners, please chime in. How do you like using your MAX for filter prep? Workflow and ergonomics? Do you limit your batch size to what fits in the upper loading section or gently pour beans into the throat of the grinder? The EK,...

If you use a particular, distinctive, high-quality Sumatran coffee, you probably don't have it now or will run out soon.
If this hasn't happened to you, that's great.
Anyone been trying to replace Sumatra in blends? We're looking at...

I've had my gene cafe for about 6 or 7 years and have fixed it a few times. Before that I use a popcorn popper for about 4-5 years. My latest fix the heater doesn't seem to be going over 400F. Needless to say I'm thinking about upgrading...

Greetings, I am a new owner of a 2003 la pavoni. Trouble is, I am getting radically different shot volumes ranging from 8g-34g while using the same beans, weight, grind and estimated tamping force.
