i bet if you asked them your family would happily replace you with a new espresso machine.

Happy birth!

isn’t that how you find dates?

Happy Birth!

I’ve been using the new grinder for 2 days now. I haven’t compared it directly to the niche, I’ve just put it into my morning routine. It took 1 shot to dial it in, and since then, I’ve been quite happy. With my coffee (brazilian medium roast) 18.5 g in 40 g out from my Brezzera Strega lever machine I’ve been quite happy.

14 years later. This might be a record

lights are for pussies

It's always kayaking season, I've gone 6 times so far this year...

I just bought the fellow opus to compare to the niche zero. Hopefully the niche will be for sale soon.

happy birthday!

I can say that 20 year old cassettes sound a WHOLE LOT better than 20 year old dats.

I got started with portable cassette (Marantz PMD-430 and sony D3). What are you looking into recording, and what's your budget?

John Zorn is amazing

What does your recording chain look like? I have several variations of rigs I use to record live music: Recorders: Sound Devices Mixpre 10-ii, Zoom F3, DPA d:vice (not really a recorder) Mics: DPA 4061s, DPA 4015gs, and soon Neumann KK14s with custom (thanks JF) active cable mounts Editing: logic pro with RX 9 and Ozone 10

Recently I've recorded: Primus Bruce Hornsby George Clinton with P-Funk Drivin' N Cryin' Gov't Mule

I'll add a sub forum for approved users once we're established where the details of less public topics can be discussed outside of the reach of google.

Some of the other places this topic is discussed have turned into something of a shit show, so I've added this. This forum may get some new members joining, so try and cut them some slack for a bit as they get acclimatized to what head-case can be like.

my math on beans is VERY different than most, I'd bet. It's gotta be a pretty special bean for me to buy it at retail, or even half off retail.

it’s a sad story but 6 month old coffee is pretty old already.

if you have a bottomless portafilter, does the stream consolidate into a single stream or is it a shower or multiple streams? It's probably crumbling because you're getting better extraction. Watch the pour, and stop it a little after you get blonding, and you should have a good shot. Experiment with that and find out where your sweet spot is for flavor.
