Been going to this place for about a year, and they offered to let me try a new contender they have for a possible “evening menu”. Consisted of cooled Espresso, Tonic water, simple syrup, muddled lime, and a slice of grapefruit. Insanely good, would recommend trying!
Feature packed espresso scale that lacks intangibles. At the current price of $50 CDN certainly worth a try if you get it from somewhere with easy returns, probably should get a extra 3rd party warranty if you can....
I don’t have a proper shot scale, so I had to make due with the $2 Blaze scale that I found at some thrift store a while back. It’s propped up on the dosing funnel to help mitigate splashing and further cooling of the liquid....
Hi fellow espresso aficionados,...

Hi all, recently I acquired a number of 1kg tubs of Cafetto evo cleaner on sale. I figured since Breville/Sage backflush tablets are the 1.5g Cafetto variety (see photos), I can probably safely replace them with Cafetto powder....
When grinding coffee the vibrations slowly caused the portafilter of my Quick Mill to drift off the (admittedly not great) support fork of my new Eureka Mignion Specialita. In the nook of plastic top holding part sits a screw, so I had the idea to bend a piece of copper wire and mount it under the screw. The piece (image below)...
I’d like to know of alternatives to Grindz for cleaning burr coffee grinders. I used to clean my blade grinder, by grinding stale bread. It worked well, but I don’t want to trash my burr grinder....
I have the Delonghi Dedica EC680M, recently swapped the stock steam wand for the Rancilio wand. I have pretty much 0 experience steaming milk, and this is the first time I’ve been able to have milk lay on top without being a formless blob! Just super excited and wanted to share lol
I felt productive and decided to clean literally everything in my coffee station, including doing a long over-due descale and group head flush....
I usually make doubles, but often split them to make a milk drink for my partner and have a single for myself. For some reason, those split singles tend to taste better. Same weight in, same time, same yield, just half the coffee....
Per title: apparently there’s no way to set the water volume used by my DeLonghi espresso machine on the TM BM 2…??...
I got a Baratza Sette 30 from my wife for Christmas. It’s replacing my old faithful Baratza Virtuoso+, with which I had been grinding for my Moccamaster Cup-One just fine. I used the Virtuoso+ for espresso, but I was looking for something that could be a little more dialed in than that....
I’m relatively new to the espresso game and my espresso always tastes a bit sour… please help! I’m using a Breville Barista Express. From what I understand, the sourness is generally because of under extraction. The water seems to be at around 190-200 degrees, so I don’t think that’s the issue. I’ve tried to dial in...
What are you brewing this weekend?...
Gotta love my click-bait title. And if you are reading this, ha! it worked. FWIW, his is the real title:...
Just copying my post from R/Espresso last year for context. I’ll add another posts for my one year update....

High pressure, high forces, long lever arms...all of that meant heavy and strong (read: expensive) parts which I was not looking forward to having to fabricate. Instead, I settled on the simpler idea of harnessing the power of compressed gas. Instead of using a high mechanical advantage lever to push a piston, compressed CO2...
Started a few years ago with a Stilosa and cheap burr grinder from Amazon. This hobby got me good 😅

May all your cups be overflowing with crema this weekend.
