Hi! Im new here. Go easy on me!

[CoffeeHack]

Yeah fair enough. Duty cycle has never crossed my mind when I've ground 250g batches for my cold brew setup... although I could be subconsciously willing it to die so that I can justify an upgrade

Hi Everyone, Coffee snobber from Brisbane just welcoming myself. Recently joined this website in hopes of doing a bit of research into single dose grinders as well as potentially selling a coffee machine I've had for the last 7ish yrs. I currently have a mini Mazzer with the holding can, but very excited about the niche zero. So far reviews are looking very promising but I think ill wait a few months and see how they go.

Hello.
New here.
Killed my EM6910 despite the helpful advice on a thread on here I am giving it to a mate.
We bought a Breville dual boiler and stand alone grinder combo.
Think it is a BES920.
Anyway happy with it so far. Steams like a beauty.[emoji106]

Another newbie

Hi guys,

just checking in. To say gidday and share my plan. I’ve had a few machines and enjoy a simple double shot. Currently rocking a Breville duo temp. With ok results within the assistance of the pressurised basket as my old school burr grinder isn’t up to the task.
I’m looking to attend a barrister class to learn more as I’m pretty much a sponge for anything coffee related and enjoy the black nectar.
i’m going To purchase an old school Gaggia Classic and refurb and upgrade it in time with the usuals. I’m on the fence with a grinder and will be seeking advice in time.

Going to law school won't teach you much about making coffee I'm afraid.

How’s it going Coffeesnobs members!

You can call me Cal, I’m from Perth. But I live in Guangzhou China. And will be for the next XX years, so it would be great to help the coffee community here. I’m usually a coffee shop guy but the coffee in china is expensive and not the best. So...

My first purchase was a Delonghi Dedica e685, i thought it wasn’t too bad for the price. Unfortunately its pump has gone 6 months later and need something new, So I’ve been following this site for about 6 months. And have been able to save for a La Pavoni Europiccola. Paired with a Pharos hand grinder which I have ordered and will arrive in about 2 weeks. I am very prepared. I hope to make some new friends not only on the forum but possibly in China aswell as my fresh bean network is non existent. Excited to try some snobby coffee.

Anyway, take it easy!

Hi guys!

Not exactly my first post here; but thought it'd be good to pop by the new here to say hi.

I noticed not many discussions about the delonghi dedica deluxe (3ds i just realised hahaha)
Also, the post above about the EC685 pump going after 6 months worries me a little, i am about in the 5th month now at 2-3 shots a day.

I wouldn’t worry to much mate, the main reason for this was because I brang it to my university for a “cultural exchange” day and was pumping out coffees with it non stop for about 12 hours. It died the next day. I think if you avoid this sort of abuse then it should be fine.

G'day coffeesnobs!
I joined up a while ago and have been reading some great tips on here.
I've been enjoying learning about coffee making and steaming milk over the past 6 years after progressing from a stove top esspresso machine.

I'm pleased with the flavour, but my presentation needs work

Hi everybody!!!

My name is Federico and I'm from Argentina.

My prefered coffees are latte, flat white and espresso made with southamerican beans.

I have a Nuova Simonelli Oscar II espresso machine (HX) and an Ascaso Mini I1 grinder. Also I use other methods such as V60, Italian moka and French press.

I have heard about the great coffee of Australia from an argentinian barista who has worked in Sidney for 2 years. Because of that I'm here to continue learning about the coffee world.

Welcome to Coffee Snobs Frederico, good to have you on board.

Have to admit I'm a big fan of South American grown Arabica beans, tell us more about the coffee culture in Argentina.

Thanks Yelta!!!

The cafes are part of the Argentinian culture, we enjoy talking with friends and family while we are having a cup of coffee.

I believe that we love coffee because most of our grandparents came from Italy. In their homes always there were an Italian moka.

In most of the cafes the coffee is not good, but in the last years some speciality cafes have opened. So we are learning to drink and make better coffee.

In the traditional cafes the favourite drink is the spanish "cortado" and in specialities cafes the prefered drink is the latte.

Coffee doesn't grow in Argentina, but we import beans from other american countries, usually Brazil and Colombia. We hardly ever drink coffee from Africa or Oceania.

If you would like to know more about us, just ask me
