    Like I said before though...you watch enough of these videos and every one of them will staunchly tell you "this is the correct authentic way to make x"....you will find that to be so fickle and untrue it hurts ha ha. Mine turns out perfect every time and I find it actually better than my neighborhood Greek joint so learn and perfect and it don't require magic.

    Well, I have to say, now after the weeks of trial and error my Espresso is solidly good now.
    I am using the lighter roast, shutting off the boiler and letting the pressure come down a bit.
    Then pull my shot.

    I still can't thank Richard enough for the guidance and information he provided me

    You just received the information that I had received which helped me. Home Barista.com and CoffeGeek were my main trainers. A couple of shop owners also shared with me. Just as with razors, or any skill, PIF is the best way of saying "Thanks"
    Be well and prosper!

    To add to this thread, I say… my recipe: 5 spoons of coffee, medium roast, just grinded and an Alessi 10 cups, Sapper! (before that false alarm that "works on induction") at full… And just Enjoy!… No details because every bean of coffee is different!.

    Quick tip for Dave and any other Freshroast users out there: don't let five years pass with your machine before taking it apart for a cleaning! I took mine apart the other day and the amount of chaff, dust, and spider webs (!) I discovered made me thankful in retrospect that the thing hadn't caught fire.

    Also, be careful when re-assembling. My caveman electronics skills led to me pressing too hard on a connector which forced a couple of pins to push through and disconnect from the control board, which then tested my even more caveman-esque soldering skills to patch it up. But it's up and running again.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Sorry Cangooner! I use a machine for grinding and another for making coffee! That pic must be from some do it all machine… Or else!

    The only machines that I know that do-it-all, are the Philips Saeco… Those explode when they cannot make coffee! hehehehe

    Cangooner: Sorry for your loss… You must be some of the lone fans of "Coffee robusta" as it looks like…
