Share your experience w/ aging beans

Philips 3200 pucks started getting watery
So I bought a Philips 3200 just over 5 weeks ago and when I first got it the pucks were really watery, like just slush, after running it about 20-25 times it still didn't fix so I ended up replacing it and the new one after 10 espressos the pucks would look...
Modbar, but for home (sailboat).
Within the next week or two I'm closing on my new home (sailboat), so naturally I'm thinking where to put my espresso machine (very important). Counter top space is a premium and everything needs to be somehow attached/anchored down or put away when not in...

Don’t buy Breville Smart Grind Pro or Dose Control
Cheap grinders. My Smart Grind Pro broke after 2 years. The plastic impeller, (moves grinds away from burrs to container), wore down. The second one had the same plastic impeller that wore down as well. Breville has poor support. Last time they offered me a small...

Baratza Encore M2 Burr Upgrade: Speed Stats
Last night I upgraded to the M2 Burr. I did it the "easy" way and found it to take about 10 minutes. My first step was to measure the time to grind. I did use some crummy, over-roasted coffee. I didn't want to use my precious self-roasted coffee because...
Pour Speed – an Unexpectedly Big Pour Over Variable

"filter" roast vs "espresso" roast (at same roast level)
Can someone explain me if what many roasters classify as filter or espresso roast for the same roast level (e.g. medium roast) is valid or just BS? I can't seem to understand what they mean by these "profiles" and it seems to a lot filter = light,...

Unpopular opinion: Rebrewing old coffee grounds is not a bad idea
Hear me out, I think there is a place for rebrewing coffee grounds. Yes it doesn't taste as strong and you do not get as much caffiene but I think that is actually not necesarily bad. Rebrewing coffee gives a much lighter, tea like color and taste(kinda tastes...
