Just upgraded coffee machines. Seems since my last post have also upgraded my grinder. So now have Eureka Mignon Oro XL grinder which I have had for a while. Just picked up a second hand Profitec...

Managed to pick up this Vibiemme Domobar Junior HX for a good price second hand. Goes well with the recent grinder upgrade. Now to learn this machine to get the most out of it

Im currently on Yirgacheffe. My wife picked up a bag for me from a local roaster. They use batches from micro lots so does vary a little. Was only a couple days after roast so perfect to get straight...

I have an old zass hand grinder but wouldn't call it stealthy. The other half is that at 12.30 to 1 am after only 4 to 5 hrs sleep I don't really want to get up earlier and faff about and god help me...

Unfortunately instant is still very much a part of my life. I pretty much always start on site before anyone at home is even awake so using grinders and machines for my morning cup before work isn't...

One of the wifes presents for me was a kg of Yirgacheffe. My favorite beans so machine is seeing good use as am on hols atm.

Have read great things about syphon coffee but rarely have much time and certainly dont have space for any more coffee gear. Although have considered getting the v60 as it would not really take any...

Ed it is a bit of a drive for you but ants in ya pants in vic park has a good variety to choose from. Usually about 8 to 10 kinds all within probably 3 days of roasting. From memory it is 12 for...

Mine is a Zassenhaus as well. Grind adjust is inside under the mill. Think it is a bit earlier around the 40s mark. The curved sides are for holding between the knees. Will grind fine enough for...

Power went out this morning so had to fall back to the stove top

Ed from my reading and the vids I have watched they do seem to use the same principles. There are a couple places in the...

I think most pod machines are about acceptance. You accept a very average coffee for the gains of easy quick use and low maintenance and cost. I on the other hand accept the time, effort, cost and...

Same again.

Had a less than great batch last lot of beans I got. Finally finished and new batch yesterday and fully dialed in today. Good beans really do make a big difference. Love it when it all comes...

Went back to basics this morning.

I have found it a very catch 22 situation. Before I would only buy 1 coffee which was around 5 dollars but now I make around 2 to 3 double espressos instead so I am saving but only marginally as I am...

I wish I had enough for that. the second hand ones i have seen were still around 600 which is double what this cost. Even my machine was second hand. I am the only coffee drinker so my wife couldn't...

The grinder is important and I keep reading to buy the best you can afford. But for the extra dollars the performance increase I don't think it's worth it. I do work on a office site that uses the...

I have found it to be good and very consistent. It was actually recommended by a guy I know who owns a coffee shop (coffe is actually pretty well all he does) it is what he uses at home. I was having...

Budget dictated my decision but for the price range the gagi here was also one of the main recommended units on the coffee forums that I used for researching.

Have heard good things about the gagi classic. Coffee looks good

Ed the hand grinder will make a ton of difference. I brought a antique mill style but it is a big step up in quality imo. I think from memory you can get stainless mesh filters for the aeropress....

Have been looking at a look at lots of the local roasters and there are a lot of them. Trying to find something close to home or on the way to work. Yahava is about 40 min away.

YouTube has...

Was looking at them. Not much to go wrong but have tp get all variables right including water but could take it anywhere

If it was perfect and I could get it perfect I think it would take away from it

Trying to get all the elements right to get the best espresso possible is half the fun and all the frustration....

This would depend on your machine, filter baskets, beans and tastes. With my machine and basket it's 21gms of coffee at around setting 11 on the grinder at 17.6 sec. Of coarse changing beans may...
