    Hi Really considering buying the Brutus IV machine from espresso-machines.nu. I'm concerned over ordering from the Netherlands but have chatted to the guy on whatsapp and they seem OK. The cost from them is £950 delivered instead of £1275 from machina espresso. Has anyone used them before and...

    Hi Today I took the plunge and ordered a eureka zenith 65e from bella barista. I have been using a vario and single dosing 15g into the hopper before every drink. I'd like to start using on demand grinding but not sure of the best way to dial in so would like some advice. When using new beans...

    Hi In the box for my rocket evo it came with a nice cleaning cloth to keep the machine nice and shiny. Does anybody know where to get more of these cloths or is there something better out there? Cheers Scott

    Hi We've just upgraded from a silvia to a rocket Evo Giotto V2 thanks to Steve at machina espresso and are delighted with the machine but have some questions if anyone can help? 1. Having never had a HX machine before the cooling flush requirement is new to me. I've looked at youtube videos...

    Hi I've received an encore for brewed coffee only. The recommended setting for french press is 30 but i tried this and its a weak mess. Dropped to 20 today and it was better but not great. I'm using the hasbean brew guide for reference. So i wondered if anyone else was using the encore and...

    I decided to make french press this morning using my mahlkonig vario grinder which is normally setup for espresso. The result was excellent and i'm keen to enjoy this more often. However, going back to where i had the grind set before for espresso resulted in a gusher. I took two more shots to...

    Having a bit of a weird issue, mostly with has bean as an espresso. I have a mahlkonig vario grinder and a rancillio silvia espresso machine. Over the past few months I've had to move the vario to nearly 1C (almost the tightest setting) to get the extraction to go over 20 seconds (tamping at a...

  9. Coffee Beans
    I bought a couple of bags from them last week and they are both excellent. They seem to roast a bit darker than has bean. I'm considering a 12 week subscription just to compliment my in my mug sub and just wondered if anybody else had any experience of using them.

  10. Brewed Coffee ☕
    Hi I've been playing with a clever dripper recently and so far the results seem alright. However most brew guides suggest that the full amount of water should drain within 30 seconds. No matter how course i grind (using a vario and a porlex) i cannot get it to drain in less than a minute. I've...

    I've got a manual timer on my sylvia but I noticed you can pick up a wifi controlled switch for £40 which allows you to program times on specific days that the switch turns on and off (so weekends can be different to week days) It also allows you to turn the socket on and off when you are out...

    Hi Been looking about for burrs for my rocky but i cant find them. I saw a thread saying happy donkey sold someone some but they weren't genuine. Hasbean used to sell them but dont anymore. Does anyone know where to buy genuine burrs in the UK?

    Just wondered what everyone else does? I seem to open 1 bag of beans then drink it till its finished. I'm not sure why but that's just what I've always done it. So does anybody have a couple of bags on the go at any one time or do you open a bag and finish it before you start the next?

    Hi I seem to be having problems getting a nice consistent microfilm at the moment. I always use cravendale but have even tried other milks with no avail. Basically i end up with loads of bubbles and a sort of wet foam on the top. I haven't changed my technique and the sound of the wand in the...

  15. Coffee Beans
    I've used approx. 90g out of the bag. The Mrs isn't keen on it (and isn't sure why). I think it's ok but not great. So i'm going to pass it on. Anyone fancy a trade?

    Just been reading the review of the VST baskets on another site. I noticed this particular paragraph: I could use the same amount of coffee, same grind, same dose, level and tamp. I'd vary how long I pulled the shots - sometimes pulling 28g brew volume (ristretto); sometimes pulling 35-38g...

    I'm an in my mug subscriber at hasbean and this weeks is this: http://www.hasbean.co.uk/products/Costa-Rica-Las-Lajas-Perla-Negra-Natural-Organic.html I've opened it an made 2 cappuccino's for me and the Mrs. The problem is both of us hate it! It's really expensive at £8 a bag, No accounting...

    I suspect i know the answer to this but here goes.. I've started weighing the portafiler after grinding the beans into it. I find i'm getting much more consistent shots doing this, Especially if i've made a chemex brew in between. I always weighed the beans before loading them into the grinder...

    it's used it once or sometimes twice a day. I scrub the grouphead after every shot with the pallo brush. So how often should i backflush?

    Just wondered what peoples opinions were of using a kone filter in a chemex instead of paper filters? I like the clean taste from paper and i wasn't a big fan on loads of sediment in my cup when i used a french press.
