Bonavita kettle temperature error
by
Nate42 » Yesterday, 1:50 pm
Has anybody had any trouble with the temperature accuracy of their bonavita kettles, and if so know any tricks to potentially fix it? Sometimes my kettle works fine, but other times I get significant temperature errors, typically reading 20-30 degrees too low. When this happens...

Where did the archive of alt.coffee go?
by
jbviau » Oct 22, 2019, 9:17 pm
Hi, all. Mark Prince tweeted tonight that Google had killed off the archive of alt.coffee, which, if true, would be a shame. Could someone please confirm? I certainly don't see it, even using the Wayback Machine.

As a long time teacher I love getting taught new things, especially when it has to do with coffee, cycling or IPA's. When I noticed a local roaster - Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco - was having an espresso and milk preparation class (and since I've only had my La Spaziale...

Why do coffee houses extract into a vessel first?
by
pcrussell50 » Jan 15, 2020, 2:22 pm

Distributor tamping - Shots running wild in between
by
aftercrasher » Jan 11, 2020, 6:10 am
Recently I have been trying to only use a coffee distributor while brewing my espresso. I find that with the coffee I use, the distributor gives it a rounder and floral flavor than if I use a standard tamper. I usually weigh 16g and target an output of 32g in 25-30 secs from the...

by
cioccocaffe » Jan 15, 2020, 3:40 pm
newbie question here:
Is there anything inherently wrong with using a 220V espresso machine in the US (on an presumably normal outlet of 110 or 120V)? I don't see what any issue would be, other than longer heating times. It seems that many of the older and rebuilt Pavonis for...
