    Yes please, just getting into pour over again since going back to work so this will be a good start.

    This is a bargain! I have a similar aged Cherub and it is fantastic.

    I'll pay the asking, £15. Shall we move to DMs?

    Also interested in hario grinder if Robin doesn't purchase it

    Would you consider second hand? This would increase the number and quality of the options available. Can't go wrong with a Mazzer SJ (second hand range between £100 and 180 depending on condition and mods) though it can be a little time consuming to brush the ground coffee from the shoot.
  6. Fracino Forum
    I've ad my Cherub for a few years now and never have left the steam wand open. I just open up the steam wand for a few seconds before brewing any coffee/steaming any milk and never had issues. I feel like this is an over cautious recommendation from Fracino, perhaps because they have so many...

    I started with a Delonghi Dedica and had many years of fun with it before deciding to move on. I agree with what others have said, you will see the most improvement in your espresso with a grinder upgrade (of course with good beans too). I too went with the Smart Grinder Pro as my second...

    I agree with the above. I mainly drink espresso now using a Mazzer SJ but have kept my SGP for pour over. The Niche sounds like it fits your requirements (single dosing, small, easily adjustable) but it may be overkill as it is relatively expensive. If you feel you want the upgrade anyway then...

    Condescending and rude comments that aren't needed. This forum is meant to be about encouraging those starting out on their coffee journey as well as "experts" trading knowledge and insights. The effort to post a snide remark could easily have been diverted into a constructive and helpful reply...

    Agree with this. I have a Fracino Cherub and thought the boiler element had gone but just needed a to press the limit stat in.

    I've been impressed with beans from Electric Coffee Company since switching to them earlier this year. Good range of price points for beans and they have a 10% discount on until 15th June 2020. The tasting note descriptions are pretty accurate too.
  12. Home Roasters
    Ye, especially as it comes with the extended chaff collector and warranty included.
  13. Home Roasters
    Already £319 ... maybe mentioning it on here has bought some fresh bidders!
  14. Home Roasters
    Agree. The standard final flurry. Sound like it is in good condition though.

    There is one on eBay, currently at £250. Bid finished in around 4 hours. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=coffee+roaster&_sacat=0

    No. I have a 58mm leveler with a 58.4mm tamper in a 18g VST. The leveler improved my shot consistency no end. Also noticed an improvement when I went from a 58mm to a 58.4mm tamper.

    Hi Ceyhun. Try for a lower end temperature, maybe around 55 degrees C. Going beyond this will denature the proteins in the milk and will 1) affect the texture and 2) alter the taste of the milk negatively. I usually turn the steam off at around 50 degrees and it coasts to around 55 - 60 degrees.
  18. 👋 Introductions 👋
    Welcome Grumble, I started out with a Dedica too. If you are into milk based drinks then you can easily change the steam wand for a Rancillio Silvia wand (there are a few you tube videos out there). I used to find the stock wand made overly foamy milk. The change certainly improved my attempts...

    SGP is decent for the size/price. Couldn't you decant your espresso from standard espresso cups into your preferred taller mug?
  20. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    I owned and used a Dedica for three years. They come with pressurised baskets as standard with a 51mm portafilter. The stock steam wand is a bit rubbish, you would struggle to make latte art with it. I installed a Rancillo silvia wand instead which was really nice and gave good results. Overall...
