Well what a difference the MC2 makes! It's taken a lot of time, and about half a kilo of beans, but I'm finally getting (fairly)...

It tastes OK. Maybe a lacking a little kick. The pour seems quite fast from what I've seen on vids. I might try keeping that grind and...

I'm using 15g as a dose, although my scales aren't the . I'm not sure about the tamp either, I've been watching some YouTube vids about...
-
So I've been experimenting, and I've managed to get around 40g in 25 secs. It still seems to take a very coarse grind and not much...
-
Awesome. Thanks. I'll give it a blast tonight report back!
-
No just one at the moment. Most things I've seen online say that you should be aiming for 60ml in 25 seconds from 14g, that's why I...
-
Thanks for the reply, but I'm still a little confused. Do you mean 25g per glass? Or 25g as the whole double?
-
Done!
So say I'm using 15g in a double basket, how much should I be aiming to get in 25secs?
-
Yeah I'm using electronic kitchen scales, they're only accurate to the gram though, not any finer than that.
-
I thought for a double I should be using 14-18g of coffee to get 60ml in 25 seconds?
Or am I way off?
-
So I should be getting 45g in 25ish seconds?

Did you like espresso before you started with the gaggia? Its certainly an acquired taste, and there's plenty of coffee lovers I know...
-
So for the last few evenings ( much to the bemusement of my wife ) I've been grinding, timing, tasting, and pouring away many shots with...
-
Haha yeah that comparison has been made in my work to. I just ask them how they know so much about penis pumps, that soon shuts them up lol!

I'm no expert ,(far from it!), and I've never used a chemex, but I love my aeropress! I find it very forgiving and it rarely makes a...

I'm based in Northern Ireland. The only one thats been mentioned is Baileys in Belfast, but they're mail order only I believe.

That's a kilo of Rave Italian Job ordered! I just hope my grinder gets here in time.....!

Im gong to be using a Porlex hand grinder for the first while until I get enough for something better
-
So my gaggia classic arrives next week and Im determined to break away from Starbucks and get some decent beans, but there's a baffling...
-
I have a tall one on its way. I was debating between the 2 as well, but thought the larger one may end up being more versatile.
-
Well I finally got to try Established briefly at the weekend, and I hate to say it but I really wasn't impressed. Granted I only had a...
-
Well I've decided to go for a Porlex hand grinder, and its currently winging its way to me from Amazon! So I'll be hitting the...
-
Are hand grinders poorer performers with regards to consistency et , or is it purely a convenience / ease issue?
-
OK so let's set a budget of £150 for the machine (s/h), and £40-£50 for a grinder. Will I be able to get a half decent grinder for that...
-
Wow that was quick!
Ok...
Budget - Ideally no more than £150ish, no grinder as yet, mainly espresso only (although the wife may want...
