  5. Coffee Beans
    Hi all anyone else struggle with James beans? Really wrestle to get any decent crema off their beans. Just brewed an espresso using their Bolivian copacabana and same as their formula 6, weak crema which dissipates quickly. Is it normal with milder roasts? The beans were only roasted in the...

    Howdy I've always wanted a commercial in the kitchen. While I'd love a new La Marzocco Linea 2 group I'm unlikely to ever have 7k to spare. With saving and scrimping I could probably get 2k together for a second hand 2 group. With that sort of Money what would you guys go for? Would live to...

    Hello all just started experimenting with the bottomless portafilter and have had a few crackers, bang down the middle, beautiful rich crema, great taste! A 16g dose is blinding out at about 13 -15 secs though, does that seem about right? Regards Stuart

    Hi all Starting to pull decent 20 sec plus shots, but my frothing is still inconsistent. Two main problems I have using the Rancilio ( me not the machine I'm sure!): 1 - when introducing the steam wand, I turn in full pelt, but I get a raucous response from the milk, bubbles and milk flying...

    Hello, The bottomless PF came yesterday. much excitement and terror in equal measure! Any tips would be welcome for mastering it. The WDT (?) tamping method seems to be popular. What should i be doing differently? Cheers Stu

    You always seem to make the best cup of joe when you dont over think it?? At least in my case. Spend probably 2 hours practicing last night, prob two 'perfect' shots out of 12 or 12. Get up this morning normally starting with a tea, but decided to have a latte. Quick grind, really good lazy...

    Howdy While south wales isn't a hotbed of quality coffee yet, I just wondered if there were any top end baristas or trainers from the area lurking in the forums? Would really like to get some 1-2-1 with someone in the area, particularly to work on the Silvia with me. Grateful for any leads -...

    Hello there and apologies if this is in the wrong place!] Basically Id like to have a go with a BPF, and am looking at the ones sold by Happy Donkey as they seem fairly well regarded. Being new to all this, i've heard that you sometimes have to mod them to get a decent fit. Is this likely? What...

    Hello there This might sound a stupid question but how blonde is blonde? My shots are around about the 17 sec mark when they start to lighten at which point i stop the shot. However I see some baristas will let it run blonde for quite a few secs before stopping it. Also when I've stopped my...

    Hello everyone. ok I've occasionally had some good efforts with microfoam but probably luck more than judgement!! One consistent problem I get when I'm pouring is the foam pouring outta too early ruining any attempt at a design. Im guessing that I'm over frothing and that maybe my microfoam...
