Got the new Linea Mini home just last night after picking it up at Clive Coffee here in Portland. Clive held a nice open house event on Memorial Day where they invited customers down to the store to try out some of the new equipment and check out some of their open box buys....
How does this compare to an Oscar? Are there any other espresso machines similar to this? She heats up within 4-5 minutes! Finally got a PF and she makes fantastic shots. How is this machine no longer made? I hear great things about Rancilio Silvia but why do I feel this Elli is...
Not the best title for my question, but it'll do...
I'm going to get a flow control device for my E61 DB, but until then I want to set my water debit to be optimal for light roast coffee ie Sey). Matt Pergers stuff said optimal is ~200ml/30 seconds (6-7ml/second) yet many of...

Wacaco has announced a new product in line with the minpresso and nanopresso. This one is called the Picopresso . The previous model seems more akin to toys with mini plastic baskets and tampers plus pressurized baskets and promoting pods. This one seems a bit more serious the...
I have a brand new Sage SGP and a year old GCP. I have always ground beans on SGP 4 or 3 (burr setting at factory level) and pulled 17g to 34g espresso in 25-30 seconds with about one month-old roasted beans from a local place. Suddenly overnight the shots were coming out...
