    This is a bit of a shoot off from the londinium thread where Reiss said that lever machines were superior because of the pressure drop off towards the end of the shot compared to pump machines that have consistent pressure throughout. Gary suggested experimenting with shutting off the machine...

    Had an hour to kill after dropping my car off to be mot'd so dived in costa Altrincham for a coffee......I got an 18 second extraction and some burnt milk. It was an awful preparation, looks awful and you can only imagine how bad it tastes......I would complain but the girl clearly doesn't know...

    My friend kept telling me his coffee spits out all over the place when he is pulling a shot. I kept telling him to try a finer grind but he just kept saying it poured out everywhere. I gave him a spare double basket I had and told him to try it and he said it completely fixed his shots......so...

    Ok so whilst walking home tonight from the pub quiz I was sort of day dreaming about various things and it suddenly occurred to me how good would it be to do some sort of beans exchange with other forum roasters! I'm always roasting loads and giving them to friends but in reality I have no idea...

    My friend has recently started a cup cake business and has asked if I'll do a few bags of fresh beans for her to sell on her shop type thing she has. I am concerned I need insurance. Does anyone know if it is a legal requirement or just best practise?

    After finding their Facebook page sort of by accident I thought I'd try them out. They were posting some great pictures of latte art. Theres also a big sign outside saying independent coffee retailer of the year 2011! So I thought this is going to be great. Turned up and the place looks a bit...

    Ok so you've got your shiny new roaster, you've toasted your first batch.......now what! What's the best way of testing your roast? Do you go straight in with the espresso? Or do you do some cupping? I've never cupped a coffee before so any advice is appreciated! I've got the toastmaster app...

    Ok I thought I'd get some general feedback between these 2. They seem to be the 2 standard home tasters on the Market. The gene is the more expensive but is it better than the behmor?!

    Just wondered what people's thoughts are against home roasted beans versus same day roasted beans from a commercial roaster. Do you guys think it's worth roasting yourself and you get a better quality product or do you think you just can't beat buying from a commercial roaster who roasts the...

    Ok so I thought I'd ask people about their cups! Is there a specific size for capas? Is it easier to do latte art in specific cups? Does anyone recommend any sites or brands or anything that's good to make coffee in??
