Okay... I have gotten really good at getting consistent results with my prep routine. I get repeatable and desired results cup to cup from each bag of beans.
Issue is with spurting. Kind of spurting I am getting are not gushers, but small round specs on the cup. I have seen...
Hello! I'm currently using a Lelit basket by IMS 18-21gr that came as a gift with Lelit's naked portafilter. My concern is that I put 18gr of coffee and it's full. Today I put 20gr and it was dropping coffee from the basket. Should I look for a new basket ? VST ? IMS ?
I just bought the VBM Domobar Super Electronic(about a week) and would like to get an advise on the pressure profile setting for different type of beans. I am very new to brewing espresso coffee and my previous machine is a straight 9 bar pressure which i dont have...
Hey all! I have been making espresso that tastes very sweet. I can't find much literature on sweetness - what I read here says that it's a good thing. However, Im finding it too sweet for my palate.
Generally, it's more sweet with lighter roasts and more pressure. I'm using a...
Hi, I tried the superfine basket today (18g), taste wise I'm not sure it's an improvement yet over VST or IMS baskets for light roasts (tested with 2 lightly roasted coffees: a Kenyan for filter from Three Marks Coffee and an Ecuadorian for filter from April) but what worries me...

So the grinder on my breville oracle touch is very inconsistent. Along with the hopper that heats the beans over a few days the grind will change pretty significantly. Generally I used to try to get 1:2 shots out in about 30-40 seconds (counting the 5-10 sec preinfusion it...
Not long ago, my wife discovered Crio Cacao, This product consists of coarsely ground cacao beans (which, they say, you should never put in your coffee grinder-too hard) that you brew in a French press or with other coffee brewing techniques, expect as a general rule espresso....
Hi again, folks, I am trying to disassemble the mushroom on my ECM. I have taken the mushroom out of the E61 group and I am trying to take the mushroom itself apart, to check screen inside. It would not come apart. I am gripping the mushroom stem and I am going counterclockwise...
I was making shots with a fresh coffee and it was tasting perfect. I changed no variables but as the coffee aged a few more days it started pulling a little fast and tasting on the sour side. What would you recommend I do? Should I go with a slightly finer grind, or should I try...
