Hi,
I am going through the process of trying to find the next grinder to get. I am upgrading from a Breville smart grinder pro, while it is a good grinder for most things, espresso isn't it's best. I found the difference that a grinder has...

Nearly bought in on the Baratza Sette when it launched but was scared off by the avalanche of reliability issues reported by the early buyers.

Anyone have any issues with their Niche Zero's?

I found this in coffee shop in Antigua Guatemala...

Got my Niche Zero. HORRIBLE so far. Putting the grind setting to like, 10.25 clogs it (5g) and 10.5 runs way to fast (like 90+ grams). What could be going on?

EDIT: For anyone starting this thread, its more of that the grind is really...

Noticed that there is very little info on here re the mazzer ZM grinders, has anyone here got one? Or am I the only one?

Hi everybody!my name is nik I'm new in the forum and I'm very happy that I found that!!in my question now...I'm ready to buy a lever machine but I'm not sure for my choice and I need help... actually I'm between la peppina and la pavoni...

I'm a long black and espresso coffee drinker with no real interest in steaming milk. I'm ready to upgrade to an easier workflow and more temperature stable setup from my flair pro in the near future, but obviously don't see a need to get a...

I've received a couple of questions about the shots I posted in the DE1+ review. My preferred extraction profile is the same one I used for the example:

This simple pressure profile essentially emulates a spring lever. After...

Hi

My recent machine and grinder upgrade projects (projects in the sense of throwing money at the problem) were successful - I am now the proud owner of a PID'd Quickmill Alexia, paired with a Compak K10 PB. Over the last couple months,...

So, over at the U.C. Davis Coffee Center, they did a comprehensive series of tests to determine if there really is a taste difference between "semi-conical" (e.g. Hario V60) and flat-bottomed (e.g. Kalita Wave) filters. Turns out...

I just got the dripper from Prima coffee. So far I like it. However I'm getting a steady flow for the first ~2 minutes, then the last 10-15% of water takes up the last 1-2 minutes, like it's clogging...(?).
For reference, I had been using...

I currently roast using a Solid Drum Huky. Every now and then I end up roasting a Natural Processed high grown bean that wants to run away right before 1C. When I say "Run Away", I mean that the ROR will hold firm into crack and...

I have purchased an Olympia Express Cremina, which will arrive soon, hopefully. In preparation, I downloaded the manual from the Olympia Express web site. I seems very thorough. I will be using it with my Mazzer Mini grinder with a...

I received many complaints on noisy RoR signals over the year. The ongoing work of Scott Rao and a broken TC made me reconsider my own roast logging setup. As I had collected many different meters and probes over the years, mostly for...

I like espresso. I like it to taste like coffee but I am happy to expand my horizons. In that spirit, I have been trying out many local roasts in the Toronto area. Most of these coffees are from craft shops that roast medium or lighter and...

Hi Everyone, I purchased this HG-1 used here on HB about a month ago, and I've gotten inconsistent results in terms of grind size and consistency.

What did you all interpret when the LWW instructions say "While holding the locking...

Hello fellas,

I've owned a Breville BES860XL for six years. It was my first espresso machine, and I have never experienced anything better, so am blessed with ignorance. :mrgreen:

We pull about six shots per day on average. I'm mostly a...

Long time lurker, first post!

I've recently upped my coffee snobbery by purchasing a decent roaster (Aillio Bullet), a decent grinder (Niche) and a Robot. Now I'm planning to move up from my Quickmill Monza Evo Deluxe super auto and into...

Hi, I have a Breville Barista Express BES870XL. The grinder on it seems just alright, and I'm no expert but the grounds seem to be very inconsistent.

I also just bought a Espro P7 French Press that I haven't used yet, and the Breville...

Hi, I am looking for a new coffee grinder. The budget is 1500$ the more important part is the width. Which is no more than 7.5 inches. Right now I have a Ceado e37s, but the main problem right now is the space. The height is no more than...
