    I've been getting some unusual and inconsistent results from a coffee I've had many kg's of. It's a fairly dark Brazilian blend from a well-known roaster and I know the coffee well. It was roasted in mid-December and has been in an airtight canister since. This past week I've been noticing two...

    I just got a Fellow Ode as a second, brew-only grinder after admitting defeat on the 'one grinder for everything' search. I'm really impressed for the most part, it's incredibly quick, unbelievably quiet and perhaps most importantly doesn't add a lot of bulk on the work surface. What it does...

    After getting some great help on here I bought the Bianca about three weeks ago and the x54 I've had since it was released earlier in the year. I've raved about both in my other thread but in addition to making some of the best cups of coffee I've ever had, both are a joy to use each day...
  4. Barista Skills for the home enthusiast
    Something I notice happens at home and not with coffee I buy from coffee shops, is that the tiger striping on the espresso crema remains present when I've poured the milk. It doesn't taste bad, texture seems pretty good, but I'm wondering what the cause is? I'm not even sure it's a bad thing...

    Hi all. Im considering purchasing a Lelit Bianca and trying to do a bit of research beforehand. The main appeal (aside from the fact it looks great and seems to be favoured) is the paddle control and the dual-boiler. Firstly, can this be considered an 'end game' machine for those just...

    I've been using the Moccamaster for a couple of years, daily and only just noticed this. I moved house fairly recently so wasn't sure if it's down to the water in the new area. The reservoir is showing some pretty crusty scale looking stuff. It's on there pretty tough as I tried to wipe it...

    Happy Bank Holliday all, quick question about Moccamaster brewing. I've had a Moccamaster for a while (not sure which model, the one with the glass jug rather than thermo). Love it, and use it at least once a day to make two cups. However, I've never really paid much attention to refining...

    This is a long shot, largely just for nostalgia and curiosity as to what happened to it but I'm trying to remember the name of a coffee shop in East London. I'm fairly certain it was a small, takeaway only batch-brew place opened by Ozone (who are further up the street). It was on Leonard St...

    Trying to be objective about this and not just whinge after my recent issues with grinders… There's definitely a novelty to being able to make decent espresso at home but the mess, heat-up times, weighing multiple shots to a decimal place, not being able to afford a DB machine and having...

    So despite good impressions initially, my experience with the Mahlkรถnig x54 has soured (literally) pretty quickly. On the finest setting, even after re-adjusting the dial, I'm struggling to get an extraction that takes longer than 20 seconds. With the Mazzer I had before I'd comfortably get a...

    This might be a really stupid question… Would gravity (as in, the weight of beans in the hopper) have an impact on grind coarseness? The reason I ask is that I've had a Mahlkรถnig x54 for a few weeks now which has been consistently producing a grind that yields a 29-30 sec extraction at...

    This might be a bit of a contentious one. Also I appreciate the X54 is brand new and there's not a huge amount of info yet. I recently-ish bought a doser Mazzer Mini. Admittedly it was bought against the general advice and extensive Googling which well documented its shortcomings for the home...
