Lever Forum 💪I have recently got myself an L1. So far I'm loving it. I noticed the baskets were a bit crappy so I have bought an LM 17g. I'm loading it with 16 g of coffee. I'm having to grind loads finer now. I think maybe the 15g would be a better bet. What do most of you use? Any advice appreciated...

Coffee Lounge ☮❤I'm going to Sessimbra (South of Lisbon) later this month. I am hoping there is at least one roaster and speciality coffee shop there. Can't find anything on the web. It's a foodie area so there is half a chance. Anyone on here been and have some knowledge they could pass on? Thanks

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastI'm sure this has been covered before. I have changed machines from La Spaz to a Minima. The portafilter is now wider 58mm. I'm dosing 18g into 17g LM basket. It seems as though I need another gram or to in the dose as distribution is not as easy because the grounds are well below the basket...

Sold6 Pale blue Acme espresso cups for sale. £6 each or £30 the lot. For some reason I cannot upload photos. Pity because I have a single boiler E61 machine, MBK tamper and other items I need to get shot of. Hopefully my daughter can work it out for me later:coffee

🚫 Valuations (What's it worth?) 🚫I have a single boiler VBM E61 machine that I don't use. The recent history of the machine is that it was brewing a bit hot and a knowledgeable Forum member suggested I change the pressure stat..... Needless to say I never bothered and instead upgraded to a dual boiler which actually suits my...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹI've had this little machine for a couple of years now and have had no issues. However I lowered the pressure and ever since it takes ages to raise the temperature to produce steam. I now have to wait about 3 minutes as opposed to 1. Do I raise the pressure back up from it's current 8 bar? I...

Brewed Coffee ☕I just bought myself a Sowden Oskar on the basis that I read a few positive reports on here. I usually only drink espresso but feel that I need to broaden my horizons and try to appreciate new ways of caffiine consumption. I have read that you can use espresso grind in the pot and it will...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹThe pressure on my machine is 12 bar when extracting (according to the gauge). The coffee still tastes marvellous but I'd like to get as near to perfection as physically possible. The machine is a single boiler Vibiemme Domobar and I'm sure it used to run at 10 bar. Can anyone tell me how to...

Coffee Lounge ☮❤I was just in Rave shop and somebody popped in to pi k up the spent coffee grounds for his garden. What followed was a conversation about the benefits coffee brings to soil in terms of enrichment etc. Then it was said that it was also an effective slug repellant. Can anyone on here confirm...

Coffee BeansI just found this roaster on Twitter. I will have a vacancy for a Kilo of beans before long and feel drawn to giving these a go. I was just wondering whether anyone on here may have already tried them and if so how were they? I noticed that on the website the prices drop considerably when you...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹI was just casually cleaning out my grinder when disaster struck. Took it apart in the usual way, worm drive off and unscrewed it, gave it a good clean and proceeded to reassemble it. For the first part of it's journey the top section was easily winding into place. With about a centimetre to go...

SoldI am selling the rather excellent Anfim Caimano which I bought on this Forum from Glenn about 9 months ago. Approximately 2 months ago I advertised it here and got PMs asking for pictures from a few parties. Due to a hectic period of life and lack of technical knowhow I never sent pictures and...

SoldI bought this grinder for £220 from Glenn about 6 months ago. I would describe the condition as very good. The grind quality is excellent and in my opinion this is a far superior bit of kit to the Mazzer equivalent. I have now got an on demand grinder and cannot justify having 2 grinders in my...

SoldI am selling my Quickmill Andreja as I have downsized. The machine was bought from Bella Barista in 2007. It has been run on nothing but filtered water and kept exceptionally clean. I am the second owner from new. I have really loved this machine and the drinks it produces. The machine is...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹOpinions would be welcome on this one. I had a little problem with my single boiler VBM Domobar. I presume water was getting in occasionally and tripping the house circuit breaker. This happened about every other day. I took off the casing, saw no water anywhere but sprayed the electrical bits...

Coffee Lounge ☮❤Maybe I am missing something but I have just bought a 17g Strada basket from a seller on ebay. It looks similar in size and shape to what I have assumed to be a 21g basket, ie no tapered edge and more space than my "single" and "double" baskets. I can force 21 g of ground coffee into either...
