(GPGT)Espresso machine hoot

Boncafe beans is not too bad once you open it but after a few days, it'll taste very different. Other beans are fine, but this one seems to go down after a short period of time.

what do you mean by this?

I purposely selected something with lighter roast because I think these cheapo nana beans should be pretty oily.

I find ligher roast beans are harder to keep, they seem to deterioate much faster with lesser body.

But it's only visually, my tongue still find them okay.

Is boncafe "ok" w.r.t to the price?

Hi all, would like to seek advice. After much trying and googling about dialing in the grinder, I had tried grinding very finely for eureka atom. But bz10 pump is only able to brew till 3 bar. I know is not pump failure as backflush is still 9 bar. Previously when someone pregrinded the same type of beans, i was able to brew at 9 bar but I did not weigh the dosage, just eyeballs the amount. is it necessary for me to weigh 14g of grounded beans for double shot before tamping? Thanks!

Yes. Weight out the grinds and keep it constant. The amount of grinds is directly correlated to the pressure readings.

They are okay, I buy them as standby but I already changed to other brands of almost the same price or cheaper.

can sic the brand? Are these supermarket based? Are the beans oily?

sometimes good to have backup because going to the roastery to purchase may not be convenient.

Nice...another Cremina user. How is the retention for the atom?

Hmm, didn't measure.

I buy them online. I find my coffee okay quite good leh.
I buy quite a lot at one time since they seem to retain quite well.

Lazy to visit roasters every week, sometimes too fresh also cannot use, sometimes taste very different.

Hi,

Can you share with me the link?

Hey guys, if you guys want some specialty quality beans for a good price, feel free to contact me.

I run a coffee biz and we only tend to use 1 origin at a time, currently using Ethiopian Gujis. I can do delivery if you live around central-north area (Serangoon, toa payoh, bishan, hougang etc)

250g for $15

nine zero six 11112

can check out my website too www.nineteen95.sg

What machines will you be bringing in? Single origin tend to be a bit "raw". Good blends or so called special blend tend to complement the taste better.

For now I'm only getting from them, not the best but not the worst. But roasters now only have larger variety of lighter roast :\ not much for espresso...

The machine gets barely warm, infact i have bad habit of resting my palms on the group heat when pulling the shot.. haha

Does anyone have any experience importing an espresso machine? I'm looking at the profitec pro 500 pid. The price difference is in the region of $600 after conversion, before gst and shipping charges
