About Me

    oddbean MediumRoastSteam have you tried the reusable metal ones too? Wondering if they coild be as effective

    Yeah. I found I had to spend a lot of time cleaning it - so a lot of water, a lot of detergent. So had enough and switched to paper ones now - they seem to do a better job, in my opinion.

        MediumRoastSteam I’ve noticed back to back shots with a wet metal puck screen results in a significantly faster shot - which is logic but took me ages to identify 😂

          Definitely the Solo T64. Also the only coffee equipment I purchased in 2024.

          JonWoo187 i would like to try Yemeni beans but can’t seem to find them roasted in the UK apart from coffee link which may not be a quality roast. Also Dark woods is quite expensive.

              Inspector my Mom was a snob like that and wouldn’t drink from a plastic cup.

              CoffeeLink are fine and a reasonable cost

                Inspector Yemeni beans are only infrequently available and unfathomably expensive in the UK, I don’t think the Dark Woods Yemen stands well up against their other offerings.

                  Given that Yemeni beans are grown, harvested and transported in a war zone, I expect they are in short supply and consequently costly.

                    Yes, they are infrequently available in Oz from one supplier.
                    I bought a few kgs of greens when they last came up and I am drinking a blend of a Brazilian natural with a Yemen Mocha Ismaeli right now.
                    It is delightful.

                      ZP6 hand grinder. I have been trying to get better at brewing with the V60 and the ZP6 consistently allows a high clarity brew.

                      @pjw Hello, I am new on my espresso journey and am in the decision making process for deciding on an Espresso machine. It will be my first!

                      I realize that these questions may not be related to this post but I’ve seen several of your comments regarding the Londinium R24 and the Streitman C2V2. I believe you have both and was wondering which one you gravitate or use or prefer more? Is there a percentage perhaps, like 50/50 or 90/10? I am trying my best to research as much as I can so I don’t make a mistake while making these huge purchases. Any feedback would be appreciated. I’m sorry if I am posting these questions on the wrong thread. I just wanted to find a ways to ask you directly. Thank you!

                        ACS machines should be on your list ,😎

                        Not that im biased. But the new evo has all the convenience features and a better buy than londinium or Nurri 🤭

                            Considering you have mentioned just two, can we take it other machines are not under consideration? I think, ideally a new thread setting out your budget, how do you currently make coffee at home, your coffee preference,…. would help.

                            Good luck with your purchase! 😊
