Only true for espresso roasts I'd say. Light roasts can be fine for 3 months.

I'm often told I'm an overly negative person, so that's fair. Coffee degassed very slowly in the freezer, so a valve is largely…

Only controversial if: 1. The bag has been opened, isn't airtight or it's made of paper. 2. You don't tape over the valve before freezing.…

Optus outage meant my SMS OTP never reached me. Too late to realise.

10-15 minutes to warm up, but you can put it on a timer. Then allow for 4-5 minutes to make a double shot latte once it's warmed up,…

I take it you don't like acidity in your coffee? That's super high buffer.
25/10/2023 - 16:37
This is the machine for affordable yet high quality with a bit of a learning curve. You can get lower quality coffee for less effort and…

"High quality water" is misleading. For example, if you buy boxed spring water from your supermarket, and it's full of calcium, it'll be…

You MAY get better results if you let it heat up for 30 minutes and make repeat coffees. If you want a coffee in 15 minutes, and still want…

If you don't use hard water (with calcium), you don't need to descale and probably shouldn't to avoid issues like you mentioned. However,…

For pourover it's a good feature and arguably this is not really an espresso sized scale. Most consider preinfusion part of the shot time,…

It doesn't though. This has an auto start timer feature. It's also more water resistant.

This isn't bad, but hanging out for a v90 deal. 120mb/s write isn't enough anymore for high bit-rate video.

Depends on the person. I think the Breville Oracle when it's under 2k is a great product for people who want good milk coffees at low…

Admittedly, I mistook this for the Plus model, which does add auto steaming, temperature control and has a larger tank. See my edit. But…
11/10/2023 - 12:58
Yup. BDB is the best value espresso machine out there, but if you have only 1k to spend on a setup, I'd suggest $600 of that go to the…

As someone with over $15,000 in coffee equipment, I still recommend this machine, especially at this price. It's got a lot of features…

Cold brew maybe, but this will make terrible filter coffee as it will overproduce fines.
11/10/2023 - 12:36
I wouldn't recommend it. Instead, get a hand grinder. KINGgrinder k2 or K6 (best bang for buck), Timemore Chestnut, 1Zpresso range.…
11/10/2023 - 12:32
The problem is most ceramic hand grinders are poorly made. I can't name a single professional-grade hand grinder that uses ceramic burrs.…
11/10/2023 - 12:26
I have the K6 and it's an excellent grinder regardless of price. It's better in most ways than the 3-4x more expensive (and overpriced)…
11/10/2023 - 10:14
The zp6 is considered the holy grail of hand grinders for its filter coffee flavour profile. Shame it's not on sale, but that's also likely…

Good to know, thanks. Are the Kenyans past or current crop?
25/07/2023 - 10:12
Don't buy Waterpik. Their AC/DC converter isn't properly rated for AU and stop working after a couple months. I went through 3 (warranty…
22/07/2023 - 16:59
How light we talking? Tim Wendelboe/Sey light filter roasts? Or more of an omni roast? Also is your Kenyan the latest harvest or past crop?
21/07/2023 - 21:59
Tried Market Lane, Smallbatch, Pillar, Proud Mary, Fieldwork, Ona? Recommend a trip to Caleré cafe too.

A self-leveling tamper is all you need. You do not need a separate leveling tool if you've done WDT correctly; waste of money, time,…
17/07/2023 - 12:44
Comparing coffee prep to opening a ready-to-consume product like a bottle of wine is not an apt comparison. Yes, the coffee industry is…
17/07/2023 - 12:39
Also, regarding Aldi, it won "Overall Large Chain Champion" and IMO supermarket/chain coffee is an incredibly low bar. Also just because…
