I'm new to espresso at home and dove into a Flair 58. Long story short: water just flows out and doesn't achieve pressure above 2 bars. I got a different grinder to obtain a finer grind, the Kinu m47 Classic, and the problem persists. I started grinding at 1.7, then 1.2, and...

Hi comrades,
I am Abhishek from India. After spending the Nile's hours reading about machines, I took the plunge. Dan's review and him pulling shots on Profitec 800 was helpful in deciding. I have started a small cafe in a garage. I also roast coffee on Bullet. Idea is to focus...

I have and have been using the Flair 58 for the last 2.5 months so I think a review is in order.

I don't think I would make a good fiction writer as my wont is to say screw the foreshadowing and build up....so on that, my final conclusion, minor issues noted, is this: I...

G'day all from Perth Australia,

I've had my MCAL for 14 years and all was well until a leak about a year ago and then it stopped working. I had replaced the piston gaskets as well as the main group gaskets etc about 5 years ago and thought nothing of it.

Removed the base and...

A few months old EPC-8, generally working like a charm, ~5 daily shots to keep me productive through the workday.

So far only 'work' has been tightening the 'neck' screws and the steam knob to handle leaks. But now I have a new misbehavior. Left on for a few hours, there's a...

I posted about how I found it elsewhere but I will insert it here too in an earlier thread.

In the last...

Hi All,

I'm new to this site and new to espresso. Below is a resent impulse purchase, currently motor freighting its way to my garage.

All I know is it's a Bezzera, missing bits, and was intended to be decommissioned....we'll soon find out why. Exciting!!

Anyway; anyone...

Been a long time in the pipeline but the ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva has finally become a reality. Took delivery of two today. The other is for my son.

Very impressed with the production quality. Design is clean and appealing. Dual boiler, PID control on both brew and service...

Hi, after about 5-6 years of use got a strange problem with my Strega machine.
After switching it on orange safety light would sometimes not come on and machine would not heat (green light is on).
Had this sometimes in the past and it was always related to the water level safety...

Just saw Doug and Barb released a leveling puck rake specifically for the Cafelat Robot. Looks like a simple tool that definitely can improve the workflow, whether you WDT or not. Priced well also, given there are so few accessories for the robot (and really so few needed) this...
