    I have the Cellini Plus V2 and it sounds like you have the Evoluzione. The difference between the Plus V1 and V2 is obvious because the V2 has a group pressure gauge and the V1 doesn't. As I remember the main difference between the V1 and V2 Evoluzione is that the V2 has black dials with white...

    I have the Rocket. It's a great machine. As with all heat exchanger models temperature stability is related to how consistent the user is with cooling flushes. For me it took about two days to get the hang. It makes really great coffee. Brilliant foamer too. And people who come into my kitchen...
  3. Coffee Beans
    I don't know about filter, but I've had such good experiences with espresso coffees from Coffeecompass that I bet their filter coffees would be worth a try (they do a gentle flavoursome style of roast). The delivery might seem a bit pricey (£3.90) and their bags are 500g, which might be too...

    I like Perfetio. It's not amazing, but it is very reliable and tolerant (and I've liked it more than any of the Hasbean espresso blends I've drunk). At its best it has a nice vanilla overtone, and I've never had a cup of it which isn't at least OK, and normally it's good to very good. I have...

    There's the Salcombe Coffee shop about the middle of Fore street just about opposite the car park. Food's quite good. Coffee is the best in Salcombe, but that's not putting the bar very high, I'm afraid. There are other pleasures down there.

    I'm having similar problems with my brand new Cellini V2 (main difference from the earlier versions is that it has an insulated boiler, which could make a difference to recovery times, but I'd guess it's pretty marginal). I've done some cursing, though I've only had it a couple of days and...

    I usually buy a bag of roasted to try before I buy a larger quantity of green for the Behmor. I'm not totally scientific about my roasts and go by smell and how it looks, partly because there's so much (temperature outside, whether next door is using the oven) I know I can't control. Sometimes I...

    Note for anyone with a partner who is concerned about visible spread of coffee kit: Grindenstein is small enough to tuck under the steam wand of Rancilio Silvia (probably others too)!

    I've got a Behmor and have had it for two years or so. I've never had a Gene Cafe so can't compare them. But I chose the Behmor because it's supposed to produce less smoke than the Gene, and because it has pre-programmed profiles which make it easy for the beginner. The disadvantages of the...

    That's strange: on the label of the bag of green Blake beans it says ''Into second. You want this popping with the roast oils showing a healthy sheen." Sounds like they aren't practising what they preach.
  11. Coffee Beans
    I've only bought Blake as green beans, so I don't know how Hasbean's roast of it tastes. But I do what it says on the packet and roast it into second crack and get some oils--surprised to hear that they're not doing this themselves. First time I did it way too hard and it was disgustingly...

    I have a rocky doserless. I've found it's pretty good. As with a lot of doserless grinders it tends to make the coffee clump (that is, some of it comes out stuck together by static, like little lumps of grinds). Real perfectionists don't like this, but you can easily break up the clumps with a...

    I recommend this: http://www.hasbean.co.uk/products/El-Salvador-Alaska-Bourbon-2011%252d2012.html. It's not cheap but it is spectacularly good. For a treat.
  14. Coffee Beans
    On the pros and cons of Hasbean I think the pros heavily outweigh the cons. They're a great company to deal with: they once--only once--sent me the wrong coffee, and got me a replacement for nothing next day. The actual coffees in their starter pack should be uniformly enjoyable, though I've...
