espresso

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

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

Hi fellow espresso aficionados,...

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....

I’m relatively new to the espresso game and my espresso always tastes a bit sour… please help! I’m using a Breville Barista Express. From what I understand, the sourness is generally because of under extraction. The water seems to be at around 190-200 degrees, so I don’t think that’s the issue. I’ve tried to dial in...

So I put the steel burrs in my Vario, hoping for more clarity in my espresso and a much improved V60. The pourovers are indeed a lot better than with the ceramic burrs, but for espresso… it’s complicated....

Hej guys! Quick question. I have a bezzera bz10 which is really nice and very happy with. Recently I saw someone selling an ECM.mechanika for 750 euros and I’m wondering if it’s worth the upgrade?...

Hi, I have recently got a Gaggia Classic Pro. So I am quite new to espresso. After I pull my espresso shot, the grounded coffee puck has imprints of shower screen (photo attached)...

Hopefully you’re having a better morning than putting friggin coffee beans in the friggin water reservoir....

Hello Guys 1st Issue I have a GCP with a Eureka Mignon Crono which has a 50mm burrs. The coffee tastes good, but I never reached 25-30 seconds of extraction, the closest is 18 seconds....

With the state of Amazon currently, I can’t tell what is good and what is crap on there anymore. So I wanted to ask you fine people if you had any recommendations on cappuccino mugs. Not super worried about cost, but also don’t want to break the bank for some mugs....

Hey everyone!...

I’d like to know of alternatives to Grindz for cleaning burr coffee grinders. I used to clean my blade grinder, by grinding stale bread. It worked well, but I don’t want to trash my burr grinder....

Hello!...

I though it could be fun to list our least favorite roasts from the past week, maybe with a description on why you disliked it. This way we could round out the “what are you brewing” posts with a sort of “I won’t be brewing that again” type of end cap....

I bought a nanotech baristapro basket from IMS, hoping to see an improvement in my shot and a better tasting cup. The basket runs faster than my stock basket, meaning that I need to grind finer with the same beans. The difference between too fine and not fine enough, is very small with the baristapro, it’s way too unforgiving....

What are you brewing this weekend?...

I’m interested in knowing how many of you take your espresso black, and how many doctor it up somehow....

Hi all,...

I have a Delonghi Stilosa machine with the steam wand outer piece removed so only the actual wand is present, I have tried doing techniques based on videos but no matter what I try the result is always extra foamy. I’m sure it’s probably due to the wand itself but it’s there anything else I can try to reduce the amount of...

Edit: I’m going to extend the contest to mid-Aug to give time for the newest Reddit refugees to participate....

The original icon from r/espresso is great....
