  1. I’m going to be roasting that rwandan coffee for sale. It’ll be $40 for 2 pounds shipped in the us.
  2. it was a $400 cup of free coffee
  3. I got a sample of a rwandan coffee from olam yesterday and roasted it. i made a cortado this morning and then immediately ordered a 30kg bag of beans.
  4. How small is your oil tank? I've never had an oil tank that wasn't good for at least a month of actual winter use
  5. thanks, it was a good day
  6. My recommendation is keep using a big pitcher, and just waste more milk. It's way easier to get good texture with enough volume to give you time to make changes
  7. Steam isn't the decent's best attribute. The DE1-XXL is apparently better, but only in that it's a more powerful heater.
  8. That really sucks. They're regularly recommended on home-barista.
  9. I am sufficiently happy with this morning’s oat milk cortado. It’s a nicaraguan limoncillo ethiosar roasted medium light.
  10. So far, I'm happy with the Strega, with no bad shots pulled (out of 8). I'm not convinced I can pull a better shot with it than with the decent, so eventually I'll put them side by side and see.
  11. i thought the problem with making it stepless is then it's more likely to drift
  12. my lever machine showed up. There were some initial indications of it’s italian heritage, but once I disassembled it and connected the pressurestat, I was able to pull a tasty, tho slightly long, shot my first try.
  13. according to google translate top line 2.0 CH is english, 2nd line is japanese
  14. I'm 99% going to get a Bezzera Strega. I just asked whole latte love to price match amazon.
  15. yeah i’d rather just leave whatever permanently set up
  16. It's kinda the opposite of the DE, so I'll have covered all the bases.
  17. I'm currently playing mentally with the idea of a spring lever machine. Since I don't want to move espresso machines between my house and my girlfriend's house twice a week, I'm tempted to get a spring machine for the girlfriend's house.
  18. coffee in a grocery store is often fairly old. You just lose the more subtle flavors as it ages.
  19. I solved that by having a grinder, an electric kettle and a french press at my desk, back when that was my schedule. I'd probably do pourover today.
  20. that's a nice watch
  21. the only non-cow milk I've found to be successful for microfilm is "barista" oat milk
  22. I wouldn't take any of my coffee stuff on a plane, but if I'm driving, there's room for a grinder, for sure.
