espresso

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....

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

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....

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

Happy International Coffee Day, everyone!

Black tea is strong, as are fruity notes (blackberry, maybe?). The acidity of the kiwi is there somewhat, but mostly, I taste its sweetness. I’m not sure I taste the lemongrass at all, but that’s not saying much, as it could just be masked by the other notes. Overall, this is a very nice roast.

Half asleep, I added coffee to the espresso grinder. Never has it been more clear, that grind size matters.

I roasted a Sidamo G1 to right after first crack. I pulled one shot today, and it’s amazing!

Went to a wedding and they had a poet dressed like a fox. You give him a word and he types out a poem on an old-timey typewriter. Of course, I chose ‘espresso’....

Got my Argos today and it looks and feels so much better than I expected. It’s super tiny, beautifully designed and setting it up was very easy. Filled it up with 40GH/40KH water and it got to temp within 5 mins or so. Flushed for a bit to clean out the water path. Pulled a shot with some washed Ethiopian beans 18:40 and it...

Didn’t have my glasses on this morning when I ground the beans and my espresso seems to be 1ml of coffee oil.

Just got Brandywine’s Hello Summer blend today. 20g in, 43g out in 23 seconds. Have to do some dialing in but didn’t taste too bad. A bit acidic but still tasted some sweetness. Really good after adding some milk.

May all your cups be overflowing with crema this weekend.
