  1. Grinders
    Selling my Fiorenzato F5. Have been using this grinder for a few good years now and it never failed. Main reason for selling is that I'm jumping into the single dosing wagon. The grinder is in good conditions but listing here the only things that aren't visible from the pictures: Sometimes the...

  2. Brewed Coffee โ˜•
    Just came back from Panama and grabbed some 100g of Janson Geisha. Can anyone advise a decent brew method for it? I've had it served there as pour-over but was wondering if it's equally nice with French press or other. I only own espresso equipment so will have to buy new gear just for that.
  3. Gaggia Forum
    Hi, Recently our (office) Gaggia machine started leaking water from next to the portafilter. Every time the coffee is slightly more tamped water drops from the portafilter holder (group?). According to one of my colleagues, one dose might've been tamped too hard and no water was coming out...
  4. Lever Forum ๐Ÿ’ช
    Over the last few months my machine starting dripping some water from the group while warming up (around 1/2 tablespoons). I can't remember it doing so before. Could it be that the group seal needs replacement? Has anyone had the same issue?
  5. Coffee Beans
    I usually buy their Formula Rossa (and bought once one called Aroma). However, I'd like to try something else from them (as it's quite close to my work place). Preferably some medium/dark roast for espresso. Does anyone here buy there and has a suggestion?
  6. Gaggia Forum
    Hi guys, I was about to try to backflush our (office's) Gaggia but am not sure anymore if I should continue. It doesn't seem to have the nozzle the Classic has and according to what I read in here (http://home.surewest.net/frcn/Coffee/3way/1.html) it might not be a good idea as I suspect it...
  7. Coffee Lounge โ˜ฎโค
    Just found this website while searching for something: Jorg Custom Woodworks Seems to have interesting custom-made accessories.
  8. Coffee Lounge โ˜ฎโค
    Has anyone tried to 3d print some custom mods. I've heard recently about this website: http://www.shapeways.com/ and was wondering if anyone here has thought about designing their own piece and 3D print it rather trying to build it themselves. For instance, my Fiorenzato has quite a left throw...
  9. Coffee Lounge โ˜ฎโค
    First of all, sorry if this has already been discussed in another thread (I couldn't find it). At work, where we're a bit limited by our equipment (no grinder and only a Gaggia Baby), I occasionally get quite a few bubbles on the crema - some rather large. Now, the espresso doesn't taste bad...
  10. Coffee Accessories
    Hi, I'm planning, together with a colleague, to buy a cheap, used coffee machine to have in the office. We're currently dependent on errmmm... Nespresso ... and even those are already broken after 6 months of use. Can we get something fairly decent for up to ยฃ50 or so? I would be grinding the...
  11. Coffee Accessories
    Hi guys, I'm considering buying a naked portafilter for my machine. I've done a big of browsing but can't seem to find anyone in the UK selling those. Anyone knows where those can be found? Furthermore, does anyone here have experience with this kind of setup (Pavoni w/ naked portafilter)?
  12. Coffee Accessories
    Hi guys, Only after a few weeks of use I've noticed that if one doesn't hold the hopper while grinding it rotates with vibration of the burrs. I've only noticed that now because I've been mostly concentrated on distributing while grinding and never paying attention to the hopper. Last weekend's...
  13. Coffee Beans
    Hi, Last week I've bough 250g of Blue Sumatra from the Algerian Coffee Shop (just wanted to try something new). I should stress that I'm quite a newbie when it comes to home brewing. Anyway, I've noticed the beans had loads of impurities: seemed like beans skins or just little bits from whole...
  14. Sold
    Hi guys, I'm selling my Zassenhaus so I can upgrade to an electric grinder (Iberital MC2 probably). It's only a few months old so it's in great conditions. I've attached a few pics. I'm asking ยฃ55 for it but might consider a decent offer. I live in London so I can "deliver" it by hand in some...

    Hi guys, I've been considering buying an MC2 but I've noticed that on happydonkey's website they mention that "...A NUMBER OF GRINDERS HAVE BEEN RETURNED THIS YEAR DUE TO THEM BEING OVER-TIGHTENED, THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND THIS IS CLASSED AS ABUSE BY IBERITAL...". Not having...
  16. Coffee Accessories
    Hi guys, I've acquired an Europiccola (La Pavoni) a couple of months ago and decided to get a Zassenhaus manual grinder. After testing 3 types of beans I concluded (premature?) the Zassenhaus couldn't grind fine enough for my pavoni. Only one type - formula rossa from the Algerian Coffee Shop -...
