Hi all,

I would kindly like to ask you a question, how could I practice Latte Art without having to make an espresso each time? is there any alternative that can replace the coffee shot ? I will still steam the milk as usual, but I am finding quite a pain having to waste so...

What are the differences between using a 2-hole vs 4-hole steam tip when steaming / frothing milk? I drink primarily lattes and cappuccinos.

As the owner of a BDB, I'm fortunate enough to have the ability to engage in some fussing around with the machine's pre-infusion settings (and, if I so desired, unlock some full profiling functionality via modding). This machine is great -- I find that I'm able to produce great...

How important is preinfusion given that the LMLM has only 1 second of it and yet is a very popular machine for sophisticated users on this forum?

Hello;

Thank you .

Hi everyone. I just bought my first home espresso kit which consists of the Breville Bambino Plus and the Smart Grinder Pro. I'm using the pressurized head with a double shot basket to pull an espresso. I've been trying all sorts of tweaks but haven't been able to dial things in...

Hi,

I recently acquired a TMFR pump from ebay, it came without the original controller, and I have a VFD to pair it with. The problem is I don't know which wire goes to which port.

There are four wires coming out from the pump motor, the yellow+ green one is the ground...

Hi,

Let me share short review of my favorite milk pitchers. Bialetti's frothing pitchers are available in four sizes: 30CL, 50CL, 75CL and 100CL. Pitchers are made of steel. I'm using 30CL, 50CL and 75CL. My overall impression is good. Appearance is nice. They are dishwasher...
