Why it’s easier for wealthier producers to grow specialty coffee

It takes money – and sometimes a lot – to grow specialty coffee. Producers not only need to continuously maintain and improve quality and yields, but they also have to invest back into their farms.

Alternatives to Blue Bottle Coffee?

I’m trying to avoid Blue Bottle Coffee because it’s partially owned by Nestle and it’s expensive. However, I think their Bella Donovan and Hayes Valley Espresso blends are very good. Does anyone have any alternatives to these blends that taste the same (or similar)...

I had a solenoid issue, water was only going to steam and hot water. I bought a new one and replaced. It seems now that solenoid is always open and it redirects water only to grouphead. Once manually disconnected, I get water from stream and hotwater. Any suggestion?...

Grinding by time for home

If you look at the button layout on my Vario, you'd be forgiven for thinking that grinding by time is the primary mode for the grinder. And I gave it the college try, but quickly concluded that anything but single dose was largely impractical. I started by...
