  1. Barista Skills for the home enthusiast
    Hi there all, Life's been good and I have been wondering what is the best taste of latte and cappuccino in terms of volume ratio. I have seen dozens of illustrations about the approximate ratio. But I have been wondering. How much espresso to an amount of milk do you guys prefer for any...

    Hi there, guys, I felt terribly to be letting this pair of cuties go. =( But guessing that most of my friends who pay me a visit don't drink espresso, I thought maybe they could do better justice for someone who's gonna enjoy sharing espresso making. They are really a decent...
  3. 😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍
    Howdy all, so it's taken a while but here is my bedroom setup! It'll be gone soon because it's going mobile! So the machine and grinder are running off mains electricity at the moment. The water is connected to a pump which runs off a marine leisure battery. When mobile, our machine will run...

    New member, small time lurker but just bought a grinder as I wanted to move away from pre-packed espresso to fresh beans and grind myself. I have a De'Longhi EC152 and this has served me perfectly well with all the pack bought espresso, with a pull time of around 20-30 seconds and a nice crema...

    Hi guys, Hope I have your attention. I just got the signature blend from Rave coffee this morning. It was roasted on 13th January 2014, which was two day ago. I was dialing the grinder to its perfect shot of everything. I have the Gaggia Classic, pre-warmed. The Iberital MC5 grinder from...

    Hey folks, I've been reading a lot about how good Inker espresso cups are, but have been a little put off by the price as well as availability. I spotted these at Butlers today and bought a couple...

    Admin: This thread is to discuss the Sage White Glove Service There's been a lot of discussion on the forums about the Sage Dual Boiler: Value for money and what the White Glove Service offers, etc. so I thought I'd start this thread and post about my experience with the White Glove Service...

  11. 👋 Introductions 👋
    Hi folks, I've been lurking about the forum for a couple of weeks, and just bought the Sage dual boiler (thanks in large part to Glenn's excellent review).

    Hello, I'm new to these forums. I love Costa Coffee and am looking to recreate the Costa experience at home as closely as possible. I recently purchased a Tassimo machine and whilst it makes perfectly good coffee, I am sure that Bean to Cup machines are the way to go for long term value and...
  15. Home Roasters
    I have a small amount of green beans on the way - 250g so I can have a go at roasting and using 'fresh' coffee beans in my espresso. What is the most satisfactory home roast technique on the cheap? Pop corn maker - (which one works that can be bought in the UK?) Hot air gun Oven Frying pan...
  16. All Grinders & Hand-Grinders
    I have bought a new Gaggia Classic machine and own a Dualit Burr Coffee Grinder 75002 (£60-80). I am finding that I can't get the magic 20-25 seconds on a single shot with the finest grind setting and tamping down. I have been using 9-10g of ground coffee to stop it coming through too quickly -...

    I've looked everywhere online and cannot seem to find those lovely thick walled cups you get in the more quality coffee places. Does anyone know of anywhere online where I could get some?
