espresso

I like this bean. It’s smooth, and I usually like roasts with chocolate notes....

On a quick glance this community looks dead because of the pinned posts taking up a lot of space.

I’m still working on consistency, but I just made a nice washed columbian on my gcp

Manual WDT is a perfectly valid method....

Feature packed espresso scale that lacks intangibles. At the current price of $50 CDN certainly worth a try if you get it from somewhere with easy returns, probably should get a extra 3rd party warranty if you can....

Per title: apparently there’s no way to set the water volume used by my DeLonghi espresso machine on the TM BM 2…??...

I felt productive and decided to clean literally everything in my coffee station, including doing a long over-due descale and group head flush....

Hi fellow espresso aficionados,...

When grinding coffee the vibrations slowly caused the portafilter of my Quick Mill to drift off the (admittedly not great) support fork of my new Eureka Mignion Specialita. In the nook of plastic top holding part sits a screw, so I had the idea to bend a piece of copper wire and mount it under the screw. The piece (image below)...

Hi all, recently I acquired a number of 1kg tubs of Cafetto evo cleaner on sale. I figured since Breville/Sage backflush tablets are the 1.5g Cafetto variety (see photos), I can probably safely replace them with Cafetto powder....

I got a Baratza Sette 30 from my wife for Christmas. It’s replacing my old faithful Baratza Virtuoso+, with which I had been grinding for my Moccamaster Cup-One just fine. I used the Virtuoso+ for espresso, but I was looking for something that could be a little more dialed in than that....

High pressure, high forces, long lever arms...all of that meant heavy and strong (read: expensive) parts which I was not looking forward to having to fabricate. Instead, I settled on the simpler idea of harnessing the power of compressed gas. Instead of using a high mechanical advantage lever to push a piston, compressed CO2...

Just copying my post from R/Espresso last year for context. I’ll add another posts for my one year update....

Been going to this place for about a year, and they offered to let me try a new contender they have for a possible “evening menu”. Consisted of cooled Espresso, Tonic water, simple syrup, muddled lime, and a slice of grapefruit. Insanely good, would recommend trying!

I have the Delonghi Dedica EC680M, recently swapped the stock steam wand for the Rancilio wand. I have pretty much 0 experience steaming milk, and this is the first time I’ve been able to have milk lay on top without being a formless blob! Just super excited and wanted to share lol

Gotta love my click-bait title. And if you are reading this, ha! it worked. FWIW, his is the real title:...

I usually make doubles, but often split them to make a milk drink for my partner and have a single for myself. For some reason, those split singles tend to taste better. Same weight in, same time, same yield, just half the coffee....
