    I like complex, bonkers, in your face, lively coffee. Light, bright, fruity, coffee that makes you go WHAT!?!?!?!!! I needed a suitable backdrop for my corner to fit my coffee preference. I have found it. It is temporarily fitted for viewing and awaiting time for a more permanent fixing. My...

    Right then Lid off then whip the switches out the front to give you some room. Easy two plastic clips held in by a little metal bracket behind on inside of wall. Then a T10 torque driver and undo the little silver plate. A longer T10 which has a magnetic end helps here. Take the plastic...

    Just been looking into two mods on the Classic 2015 model and from what I found it appears two may no longer be possible due to changes. Those mods being the Rancillo steam wand replacement which it appears may no longer fit. Then the second being the OPV mod due to it not being as adjustable...

    My haste bought now in work MC2 is grinding really fine no matter how it's set........ Had the thing apart, cleaned, put back together twice. Set at different points by turning by hand without adjuster on then put adjuster on and used. Tried changing coarseness using adjuster. Fine, fine, fine...

    I happened to be out in Bath on Sat morning and while checking out Round Hill Roastery stall at the market I thought hmmm. It was a Round Hill roast served to me at Colonna & Smalls that opened my eyes and mind to coffee in a big way on a curiosity visit one day late last year. Anyway I didn't...

    Off to Zante on Fri. As far as I can tell there is no problem with taking a bag of beans with me but need to double check. More importantly has anyone been, whats the standard of coffee like? Never ever worried about the state of coffee when going away before.....this is a new age of panic and...

    Why is it that with one bean type Roastery 1 One roast type for filter Another roast type for espresso Roastery 2 One roast (sometimes listing preferable usage i.e. filter, pro etc etc) I can see reasoning behind roastery 1 as they could say we are roasting a bean so it is roasted in the...

    The pitfalls of trying to address everything at once in a rage! Really really taken a step back and look with my a attitude towards preparing my coffee at the moment. After the recent highly frustrating attempts I have had of late with prep including 'just' (I am joking) the tamp and it not...

    Right I am just wondering if anyone has ever done this and or if my thinking is completely of track........ In the constant quest to get a more consistent AND level tamp of the coffee within the PF I can't help but get the feeling that the length of the handle could be critical to helping this...

    Right due to now owning some lovely new cups my old scales are now defunct due to the weight of them lol. Do I consider buying something like the Acaia with a view to future brewing on top of what I'm doing now or just buy some more heavy ranged cheapos? Want something that will potential take...

    Just came across this paperback I've read a bit back. Dude sorta travels globe tracing origins and history of coffee from it's beginnings to now and it's relation to societies etc while drinking a lot of it. Some amusing and interesting parts to it, with added useless information but aren't...

At home its all, well pretty much all espresso but work will be a piece of equipment to accompany the now in residence Porlex for...

    As some of you may know my main grinder was a Porlex. Today I left work early 12ish to visit the eye hospital, a review nothing serious hopefully. However I was running late so rushed off... After said hospital visit I returned home at 6ish and thought, right! Espresso time! At this point I...

    Coming on here, reading, laughing, learning and generally being a bit anal coffee wise while generally being throughly enjoyable often leads to me thinking 'hmmm I'll just go make a shot'. Something I possibly wouldn't have thought, well at least probably not as soon or often had I not come on...

    I cannot explain the way my heart sank this morning when I came downstairs at roughly 6am. I as ever grabbed my instruments of flavour full espresso awakening.
