Hi everyone! I got a small sample of Geisha (around 16g) while buying some other coffee from Amor Perfecto. What would be the best way to consume it given that I probably won't be able to dial it in optimally? I was thinking a French Press would be a safe bet. Any advice? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I bought powdered Cafiza a while back for when I'd clean my espresso machine, and the time has now come! Given that it's not a three solenoid valve, is it OK to just pour the three grams of Cafiza in the reservoir and run it for a few minutes? Cheers,

I recently purchased a second hand Isomac Super Giada as my first espresso machine and I've been encountering issues pulling shots on it. Given the 53mm size of the portafilter, I've only been filling it with about 15g of grounds, and I've been aiming for 30g shots. When the pressure reads 8-9...

This kind of post is a dime a dozen, so sorry for that, but nothing really answered my particular question. My goal is to someday open my own coffee shop, and as a result, I want a semi-automatic machine that can pull good shots, froth well and that allows me to deepen my understanding of...

Hope you are doing well! I am currently in the process of replacing my Ulka pump Model EA Type eEAP 120V 60Hz 1/1min 41W, and I ran across a model E Type EP5 with the exact same specs (120V 60Hz 1/1min 41W). Are these two pumps equivalent? Cheers!

My friend gave me his ostensibly broken espresso machine, with the promise that if I fixed it, I could keep it. It seemed to be that the pump wasn't working, even though when I turned it on it did make quite a bit of sound. Then I bumped into this video that showed a way to unseize the pump, I...

I remember reading about this one cafe that opened in a stone tower/ fort of sorts and was surrounded by foliage (think jungle). I think it was in Asia, maybe Vietnam or Taiwan, but I'm not sure. I've been trying like crazy to find it again but I can't. Does this description ring a bell to...

A bit of context: Today marks the first time that I ground my own coffee and the first time that I brewed with a Chemex. I'm in the process of creating a recipe and I would like some advice of how to proceed next. Here is my equipment list: 1-Baratza Encore 2-Chemex 3-Hario timer-scale...

As the title suggests, I got this second hand from my friend who told me the machine didn't work. We turned it on, and realized that no water was being drawn from the reservoir. I could hear the machine making a brrrr sound, but my friend commented that it wasn't its normal sound. Though it's...

I'm looking for a grinder right now with the largest range since I drink both French Press and Turkish. With entry level electric burr grinders, I've heard the Baratza Encore and the Capresso 560.01 Infinity being suggested. Though personally, I like the romanticism of manually grinding your...

I'm trying to increase the quality of my coffee experience. My budget for this year is around 600$, this means that whatever I buy this year will total that amount. Right now, all I have is a 20$ KitchenAid percolator, which is to say, not much. I doubt I can find both a decent grinder and...

I've been trying to find how to make Arabic/Saudi coffee, but the information online is really sparse. What generally distinguishes the coffee is that it's ground while green, it uses spices like cardamom and saffron, and the end result is something that looks like tea. That being said, there's...
