Welcome Sofia! Are you in the biz or just a fan?

To me it looks like an older gen classic pro. New classic pros go for about $499. On to why the coffee might be weak. It could be a lot of reasons. It could be the coffee wasn't fresh, ground properly and so on. It could be the water isn't hot enough to extract a proper shot....or maybe not...

Few other questions. How often do you change your water filter? How often do you break your grinder down and clean the burrs? Do you clean your portafilters with chemical? Dumb question but....is the filter in the portafilter? Lastly how much coffee are you dosing out per shot?

Taking what to the scrap yard? What was the issue seeing it was without a doubt not the grind?

So what did you all find?

I have had the ottomatic for almost a year now. I still love it! Definitely worth the price. https://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/ottomatic-2-0-coffeemaker.html

Are you employed by them? I checked their site but didn't see much about them roasting. Do they roast? If they do what roaster are they using?

I don't see why I wouldn't buy coffee from a woman. That being said, I do not think women like being called broads.

Welcome! Sounds like you are in some exciting times! Keep us posted on your progress...and we love pics here!

Here is a pretty good video on espresso. personally I still tamp at 30lbs of pressure even though this video says you do not have to. Hope this was helpful.

Holy cow that was difficult. Had to end up uploading to youtube to be able to post. How long have you owned your grinder and have you ever replaced your burrs? I am assuming you are using an epsresso grinder? How old is the coffee you are using, how much coffee are you putting in the...

I tried posting the video but the site wont let me. I will try again after I complete my roasting. I did send you an email explaining that your grind is way off. Espresso is coming out looking like iced tea. Grind your coffee finer and you shouldn't have any issues. That being said are you...

if you want you can shoot me the video and I can post it for you. My email addy is [email protected] I think you have to have at least 4 posts before you can post pics or videos.

Baking soda? Thats a new one for me! Too each their own! I don't tell people how to drink their coffee so don't tell me how to drink my scotch!

Have you reached out to the manufacturer? They should be able to troubleshoot and get you sorted. Let us know what you find. https://www.casadio.com/eng/contatti.asp

Lol! Don't take it personally. Some people are just better than us. ;) I have a coffee you might be interested in. The name is Morning wood and it is infused with horny goat weed(the natural version of viagra) We prefer you grind your own but grind it for you if needed.

You can email me the pics and I can post for you . [email protected] . I had a royal years ago from 1896. Really great roasters! I am sure you will move it quickly.

I know with commercial grinders the settings change. That the numbers are just reference points. So you might have your espresso grinder perfectly dialed in. 2 hours later the humidity could change and ruin that shot. I saw my grind change in a matter of 15 minutes when I was competing. I...

It is vanilla flavored latte with caramel sauce on top. A traditional espresso macchiato is espresso stained with milk...so caramel macchiato is stained with caramel.

how much is a large amount and when was it roasted? Was the coffee current crop? How do you have it packaged and what price are you looking for?

Curious to what everyone is charging for cold brew. I am talking about kegs that is. I am going to be having my coffee kegged by a friend of mine. They originally went with $110 a keg but want to increase the price due to commodity prices. The "slim" keg size is 19.5 liter.

What price are we looking at for 10 to 30 sacks?

Great peeps over there. I had some issues at a roastery I was at about 12 years ago. They owner was super cool and helped me with my issue. I also love their used roasters selection!

I don't care if a customer has a business account or not. As long as they can meet the 20 lb minimum.

I found the same bag I am using for $.099 vs $.21 we currently pay. As for PBFY I used them before. She enticed me with a lower price on my initial order and when I re ordered the price matched my last company. I got no warning of an increase. I get it but don't like it...seemed shady. All...

Thanks bud! I just spoke with them. They can't help with the in house but we are talking retail now. Stoked because they have a location in Miami. Still looking for back of the house bags. In house bags are attached below.

I have a question but it isn't about retail bags. I am looking for flat silver pouches that hold 8 oz and has a valve. We use them for in house coffee...tear and toss. I use about 10k every 3 weeks. The price jumped up from my current supplier about 25%. I think its time I buy a years...

Welcome Thor. What are you roasting on and how long have you been at it? I have a 60 kilo Ambex that I use to roast for our bagel chain. I hope you enjoy the forum. Loads of good folks here.

I love my ottomatic. https://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/ottomatic-2-0-coffeemaker.html

I love my chemex ottomatic. https://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/ottomatic-2-0-coffeemaker.html

DM me your addy. I will send you some samples next week. ;)

Yeah...I believe the largest one is 18oz.

Do me a favor. Try using a clever dripper. The french press doesn't filter out oils that might be bad. Next time you brew a french press look at the surface at an angle. You can see a little oil slick no top. The clever dripper is also a complete immersion process but it has a filter to get...

Welcome back! Personally I am not a fan of home espresso units..unless you pay a fortune you will never replicate a shot from a commercial unit. I always say it taste better when someone makes it for you. ;)

Where are you located? Barista would be a great start to learn coffee. Maybe buy a wee toy roaster and experiment as well? I bought a kaldi home roaster for sampling coffee. It roasts 4 oz at a time. They are available on Amazon. https://eng.homecaffe.net/ Good luck and let us know what...

Shoot me your email to [email protected] I can shed some light on high caffeine coffee. I have a line of coffee that has 50% more caffeine per cup.

I didn't see you mention tamping the espresso. If you do not tamp your coffee it can cause issues. You need to compress the coffee. https://www.homegrounds.co/how-to-tamp-espresso/

The grind will affect the shot time. If it is too coarse it will pour fast and if it is too fine it will not come out or very slowly. Humidity will affect your grind as well. You might have the grinder set for that perfect shot and the next day it will not be as good. The settings on the...

I have some advice for you . If you are serious about getting into the business you need to either get a job in the industry or hire a consultant. I have spent my entire adult life in the coffee business...can't imagine doing anything else. Let us know how you make out.

Green coffee as in unroasted/raw . I have to say this also. I probably wouldn't buy Colombian coffee from a source that spells it incorrectly.

No. It also comes down to freshness. Green coffee stays fresh longer. Then there is Me being a roaster...I do not trust anyone else to roast my coffee.

I am not sure what you are asking here. What do you mean your coffee shows up raw?

Welcome Jeff! You are able to list your equipment for sale in the buy sell trade section. How long were you in the bis for? I am on my 32nd year in the biz...can't imagine not being in it! Good luck bud and will check out what you have when you post it...

I see you are in Britain. I was super stoked to see that coffee is finally exploding in the UK! I am excited for my trip to Scotland next summer to see how much it has grown since my last trip a few years ago. That being said. Check these guys out. I will be checking them out next...

drip coffee, Cointreau and Godiva liquor topped with whipped cream. It taste like a Terry's chocolate orange!

OMG. I would have killed to have that when we were talking! All good. Insurance ponied up for a brand new action pac. That being said. Whoever grabs this prox pack is lucky at that price. I bought one 11 years ago and ran it 6 days a week. The reason I do not have it anymore is because it...

Can you imagine having to keep all that polished? What a nightmare! I had an L25 that was pimped out with copper. People would put their hand on it and I would cringe knowing I was going to be buffing it out later. Good luck on your venture!! What roaster are you going with?

Meforevercrazy. You might want to see the smaller roasters he has listed. The 150 is a monster. On that note...Karl, I am confused how you priced this listing. You have it priced at $53750 and below the price you say includes "$38,000" after burner. Is the after burner a separate price or...

I assume the $4500 was a typo for the whole lot. What are you asking for the whole lot?

Welcome aboard Samuel! Tell us a bit about you. Are you, were you orare going to be in the business? Loads of good eggs here! I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

How do you get the coffee out?

Did you mess the wires? If the motor is running the wrong direction could mean it is not in the correct phase sequence. This is an easy fix but if your not handy I would take it somewhere.

I have had my Chemex since June and I absolutely love it. I have not drank coffee at home since I owned a Technivorm Moccamaster. Sadly I brought it to work and someone stole it. My wife bought me the chemex ottomatic and I am now drinking coffee at home again. It is pricey but worth every...

You want to keep it as concentrate till you make the RTD. Cold brew concentrate will hold in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If you add water it shrinks the life to 2 to 3 days.

To be honest I have not experimented with THC and coffee yet. I mean you could do bulletproof coffee with "butter". https://www.vice.com/en/article/8qe9ea/cannabis-infused-bulletproof-coffee

What exactly are you looking for?

Well welcome to the cool kids club! You will find a boat load of information here as well as some pretty cool people. So do you work for coffeetec?

Ifillcup, Welcome to the forum. Do you mind if I ask roughly if someone was to switch to your system what the price per cup is and what are your machines running now?

Glad you're still with us pal! I agree 100% with you. When people ask how much coffee I drink they gasp and say that isn't good for you. Well your not my doctor. He said my numbers are great. I started working in coffee over 30 years ago and have consumed the same amount for over 30 years...
