Getting frustrated chasing ideal extraction timing out of Sage Bambino Plus – Sage Grinder Pro – always seems a little quick?
Hi coffee folks, For Christmas my partner and I finally took the leap into espresso land. Previously cafetiere coffee has been our mainstay, with fresh subscription beans and a Hario Skerton Pro hand grinder. Disclaimer: I'm new to home espresso creation. Over...
Does anyone have a work pour over setup? Let’s discuss!
My break room at work has a pretty large counter so I'm planning on working out a V60 setup. I have a v60 with carafe, scale, bonavita ($37, crazy). My two breaks are only 15 min or I could try to do it during my 30 min lunch break, but do y'all have any...

What next after Hario Slim Mini Plus?
As mentioned in the title, the Slim Mini Plus is my first grinder, but I expect it to not last for much longer. What is a worthy upgrade to it? I’ve seen people recommend the Timemore C3, or the 1zpresso Jx. However, the 1zPresso is incredibly hard to get where I live...
Is my Niche Zero Broken?
Got my unit secondhand last year and was working perfectly fine until I recalibrated 4 months ago. I use a Breville Bambino Plus and would grind at 18-20 setting before. I dial in every time I change my beans I always make sure my beans are fresh/ newly roasted I...

Is vegetal taste in coffee a defect? So I cupped a wash arabica, it taste like a string bean with a hint of tamarind. First time I encountered this. I roasted the coffee bean yesterday. Dropped 1 minute after 1st crack. submitted by /u/ruleofspace [link]...

Hey - I've looked around quite a bit and can't find the stove top kettle of my dreams (for coffee and tea). I've almost concluded it doesn't exist, but thought I'd try here. Induction compatible (okay, easy) Built-in thermometer (still easy)...
Need advice for a beginner – pulled by conflicting requirements
Hello! For the longest time I've been a tea drinker, lamenting the fact that the smell of ground coffee is the best thing in the world and bears zero resemblance to the actual taste of the beverage. However, a few days ago I had my first cup of coffee - straight,...
Baratza Encore Help
I got a Baratza Encore as a Christmas gift and have been very happy with the way it grinds. However, I now feel totally lost with brewing. I’m using a v60 and everything was going pretty well with my cheap hand grinder I was getting proper tasting notes and generally...
Why is dark roast the prominent retail coffee?
I'm a light roast guy, and it frustrates me any time I'm away from home and need a cup of coffee....it's always dark roast--if you're lucky, maybe a medium roast--even at small indie cafes. I'd be curious to learn why dark is the predominant...
Natural process coffee, dialling in
I am having problems. Dialling in a washed coffee I find easier, too coarse and the coffee is all roast, too fine and it's bitter. With natural I struggle because the sweet spot seems to be silage - fermented grass for cattle feed. Am I going wrong? ...
Nearly 2g of coffee getting stuck in my grinder and a ton of static. What can I do?
I have a Eureka Mignon Flitro. Since the day I got it there was a ton of static which makes it hard to pour into my V60. Loads of fines too. Especialy since the dosing “cup” is the most awkward shape. I used some RDT to try and reduce static but stopped since it...
Praising Baratza for their great repairability!
I bought a Baratza Encore. It made my coffee delicious! But it unfortunately died, within the warrant window. Might have been my climate or grind buildup or something! I emailed Baratza support, and we went through some troubleshooting. It was unclear what broke, but...

One of my friends, let’s just call him M, owns a coffee shop which I frequent and he has always been happy to share the auction lot samples that he bought with me and discuss his roasts and learn what I think of them. Yesterday, I went to his shop with two friends,...
