(GPGT)Espresso machine hoot

[sohzai]

Since it requires a coarse grinder and I don't do it often, I think I'm getting a small hand grinder and leave my espresso grinder alone.

What is a good grinder for such drip i can get from Amazon??

I am also thinking of getting a porlex from Amazon. Still considering.

Rhinowares grinder might be a good alternative to the porlex.

Isn't Rhinowares China made And porlex Japan made? QC wise jap maybe better is that is the case

 

[Corsabrin]

just got myself a porlex. seems pretty well built. time to work my arms

Just tried a chemex drip coffee.

Don't like, so I don't think I will wanna waste money on the hand grinder.

Looks like the White House enjoys chemex

Seeking Feedback on Expobar

Hi,
Looking to get a espresso machine for home use and narrowed it down to the Expobar Leva after seeing many wonderful reviews from USA users. Then I realise that the ones sold here are produced in Spain and assembled in Shanghai. This made me wonder if there are any significant durability/reliability differences.
Does anyone here have relevant experiences about these machines or insights? Many thanks in advance!

I believe they move the entire line have parts made in Spain and assembled in China. Email expobar to get the accurate answer.

Sharing some photos of my Slayer!

Buying from Jimmy Monkey was a great experience. Michael is very knowledgeable about the Slayer and will patiently go thru the features and specs. The plumbing in installation job was done very professionally and with minimum fuss.

Still testing out the prebrew functions and its effect on coffee, preliminarily i'm able to reduce sourness with light roasted coffee and still get good body without having to have a high brew ratio!

holy sh*t.
Does Jimmy Monkey accept installments?

on a side note, i have been dumping my french press coarse coffee grounds in the sink. will this clog up the sink?

 

[sohzai]

Holy ****. That is one beauty. What kind of price range are we looking at?

Yes. At least strain off most of them for the bin. Coarse grounds are not easily broken down.

Hi everyone,

Being New to the espresso scene, where can i buy fresh roasted bean? i've live in the West area while working in the central.

Any recommendation?

Regards
Mark

Not sure if they do! But no harm asking if you are keen to get one too. Quite a few improvements since the 1st versions. The temperature stability issues have been fixed and shower screens come with the Teflon coating. No problems so far, keeping fingers crossed.


Pre brew seems to work as advertised. Can grind very fine without choking. The stability also makes it easy to tune to taste. Slayer offers a guide on how to adjust the various parameters to achieve a taste profile you'd like.

Will try to get some light roasted filter coffee beans and try to make and espresso out of them to push the boundaries....

Holy ****. That is one beauty. What kind of price range are we looking at?

I got mine for quite a good price. Exchange rate not very good now though. Only customized the body panels with a simple red. Other customizations are too expensive! The fancy customization you see on the slayer website must have cost a bomb.

How many machines do you own?
Good price is what?
