Baratza Encore grinding problem even after replacing the burr holder
A burr flange had broke off on my Encore (not sure how), but even after replacing the ring with a brand new one it's still giving me an awful grind? Big chunks, takes forever etc. I'm pretty sure I've mounted it correctly, it's very simple... and...
Coffee lovers from the Philippines
Hello to my fellow Pilipino. Any suggestions for a reasonably cheap but sturdy manual grinder? I got mine for 250 PHP or around 5 USD which broke instantly. Thanks in advance...
Ratio Six and Ratio Eight Coffee Makers
I’m curious about cups produced from a Ratio Six Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe compared to using Glass Carafe or compared to using the Ratio Eight Coffee Maker. Aside from build material differences, there are at least two main design differences that affect...
Struggling to get good tasting espresso from a 15g VST basket
I just got a 15g VST basket but struggling to get good tasting espresso like I do from a 18g VST basket. My setup: Breville dual boiler, Niche zero, 1.7mm 100micron puck screen (pre-heated), WDT, 15g VST basket, good fresh medium roast beans, 93deg, 14g in and 28g out...

Quick Aeropress extraction question
Is it correct that with longer steeps the percolative extraction made by pressing the plunger decreases (in relation to the immersive extraction during the steep)? As longer steeps extract more, the coffee concentration in the water increases and starts to get closer...
Could I use a gooseneck watering can to pour into a Chemex?
Hi all, I've seen tips on getting a gooseneck kettle for better temp & pour control for Chemex. However, I've already got an always on (insulated) boiler tap in the kitchen, so would really prefer not to be boiling water twice, wasting energy/money. So...
If someone drops their coffee within 5 minutes of buying it, do you think they should be charged for their replacement coffee?
As a barista, who has worked in a lot of coffee shops over the years; I have found that the general consensus is that if a customer spills their drink, shortly after buying it, and without drinking it yet that you just replace their coffee free of charge. I’ve watched...
Way better results with French press than Clever or Aero Press. How to improve those?
I started my coffee adventure with a Timemore Slim Plus grinder and a set of scales. I have a French press, a Clever Dripper and Aero Press. Important detail: I only drink decaf. I got a bunch of different beans from coffee places and found a few that I liked. One of...
Traveling cappuccino
Before you laugh at me... Sure I like having an espresso machine at home but it is not always possible if you travel a lot. I recently discovered this amazing thing. It's a black bag from nestle full of finely pulverized espresso powder. You pour water in and no...
Why do hot drinks push their way through the threads on my mug?
No matter how much I tighten it. Make sure each side is perfectly dry. Nothing. The rubber seal looks fine. Nothing seems wrong with it. But everytime I take a sip. Bubbles of my coffee come out the threads. Infuriating. I guess this might be dumb but it's also...
Looking for a travel mug, not double walled. Do you consider it safe to drink from plastic travel mug?
I'm practically looking for a sippy cup lol, does anybody have any recommendations? I've only seen plastic ones, maybe there are steel ones, single walled? I'm looking for a a travel mug that is not double walled. I have a Zojirushi and we know that the...
Stale coffee beans
I bought a 500 g bag of coffee beans from my local roaster about a month ago. However, I went travelling to a hot country and the zip loc on the bag broke. I left the beans out in the kitchen (~30-35°C, no sunlight) and sealed the bag with a rubber band. I tried...

Turkish coffee, no foam?
Friends brought me a cezve and coffee from Istanbul. I made 10 experiments yesterday trying to figure out how to brew it on a gas stove, but I could not get anything resembling foam. Sure smelled good, though. Lacking Turkish coffee cups to measure with, I settled on...
Eureka Mignon Specialità improvement
Hello guys, so I'm a very happy owner of the Eureka Mignon Specialità. I think it's a great grinder and they did a good job except for this horrible cheap plastic bean container on top. It's so annoying to open and it feels like it's made of the...
water for coffee.
Hello, my question is how do I know that the water I use to prepare my coffee is adequate? Lately I have used a Brita-type filter pitcher because I thought it would give me what I needed but I'm not sure anymore. What would you recommend? or would it be better to...
Does your Church serve coffee?

Slipping burr on manual coffee grinder
Being a long time user of an electric blender for grinding coffee beans, I've finally made the jump to a manual burr grinder to try and achieve more consistency and eliminate the heating effect. I found a decently priced burr grinder a few weeks ago that was a...
Was gifted a used Rancilio MD40 grinder.. but is it past the point of no return? Or how can I return it to working condition?

If someone doesn’t like their drink (that they came up with) should a barista make them something else for free?
Inspired by the recent post about spilling a coffee lol. One time a customer came in and didn’t know what he wanted so he took some time to decide he was going to try a hot chai spice tea (steeped) with some steamed milk in it. He had never had this before and said he...
Air compressor + cold brew = cheap, DIY nitro cold brew?
At my job we use pneumatic tools almost every day and air compressors are ubiquitous. This got me thinking: Air is about 80% nitrogen. Why not hook up a small compressor with an inline filter to a plastic bottle of cold brew with a carbonation cap in order to dissolve...
What’s your favorite coffee brewing hack?
Let's share some secrets. My favorite is to spray a little water on the beans before grinding. This prevents the fines sticking on your grinder, it's almost clean when you poured out the grounds. The effect is dramatic while the effort is super low. ...
