  1. Brewed Coffee ☕
    I used it for a while, never really wowed by the coffee. Shame as the service was great, packaging beans in a larger flat package to fit through your lettter box is underrated! Rave and HasBean take note, going to post office to collect your beans is a pain in the ass! Have a look at Pacts...

    Happy with my machine, might be tempted to upgrade my grinder though. Compak E8 / 10 would be ideal, but won't fit, so maybe a Ceado E37s. Just pondering at the minute.

    I'd probably suggest that if you're inclined to go the Rocket route, you go R58, and put the extra money into your grinder.

    There's no doubt profiling makes a difference in the cup, whether you consider that to be value for money or not, only you can answer. In pure monetary terms, it's unlikely to be good value, but I think these machines, and I mean all brands, are too emotional to be judged in pure monetary terms.

    Hi, yes there's at least a couple of us on here with R60s. I had a Giotto Evo prior to this, and would probably describe the R60 as an Evo on steroids. Personally I love it, the pressure profiling works exactly as it should do, the PID is easy to use and comprehensive, the only downside for me...

    yep, me too. All the time as dfk41 says, especially if making more than one drink

    I initially really like the look these machines, however, as time and production has developed, I've become less enamoured. Not being able to brew and steam at the same time on what's likely to be a £2000 machine here, is a no for me, as is the lack of clarity around pricing / vat / import duty...

    I bought their standard jug, and wasn't so keen. You've just reminded me I bought a competition jug that hasn't arrived yet, must check on that! I ordered it on Amazon and there was a mix up of some sort.

    I have set of Brewistas free for whoever wants them. They had the usual water ingress into the battery area, got flaky for a while, then stopped working. I stuck them in a cupboard and bought some Acaia Lunars. Anyway got the Brewistas out today and now dried, they seem to be working fine, in...
  16. Barista Skills for the home enthusiast
    Out of interest I bought the digital thermometer from DecentEspresso, great piece of kit, I won't be replacing my temp tags.
  17. Barista Skills for the home enthusiast
    I heat to 140f, 60C. Only if I'm after an extra hot drink to take out with me, will I go to 160f, 71C

    Is it me or are you not looking a million miles off the mark here? 25sec ish to pull 1:3 brew ratio at grinder setting 4. Probably a bit quick, but not horrendously so. I'd be moving the Grinder to 3 or 2, 16g in 48g out, and see what you get, by your previous comments you should be around the...

    I think the general tasting tips are to let the espresso cool slightly, and then stir in the crema.
  20. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    As above, don't get too hung up on time, use weighted output as your measure, having said that, 20-50 secs is probably a good window. I'm not saying discount anything outside of that, but most decent shots will be in there somewhere!
