Re: More SOs Please!!

I just ordered the Yemen Mokha Sharasi and I'm excited to try it as espresso. The last great SO espresso I had was "Ethiopia DP Haile Selassie Sidamo". I'm curious to try the recent Ethiopia DP Jimma - Nigusie Lemma as an SO espresso. It's not mentioned ...

Re: Patrick from Central NJ

So far i have roasted some of the SM espresso blends; the monkey blend, new clasic espresso and one other blend (forgot the name) with varying results. I only over cooked one of the roasts, but it was still drinkable. I have noticed that with ...

Re: More SOs Please!!

... Aida's Grand Reserve, and I had a little left over, not enough for a pourover cup, so I tossed it in the grinder and made up the difference with Espresso Monkey; it was about a 50-50 mix; the Aida's was 2 weeks old, the Monkey only about 4 days. WOW. It was probably the best shot so far with ...

Re: Please introduce your homebuilt cooler

... I think a future revision will be built on top of a 5 gal bucket. In case it isn't clear, the fan is drawing air down through the beans. 350g of Espresso Monkey, 2nd crack rolling, cool enough to bury my hand in in under 2 minutes. After 4 minutes it was around ambient. Here's the percoolator ...

Re: Best grinder for NON-espresso brews?

... a decision between the least of however many evils. Not that that will change the answer in the end of which grinder can produce the best non-espresso grinds... but it's good to know.

Re: Best grinder for NON-espresso brews?

There was some discussion about getting a fines-free grind on the mailing list recently, and I think the consensus was that to some extent it's impossible to avoid fines (and particle size variations in general). It's going to happen when you start with big, nonhomogenous beans and try to break them...

Re: Best grinder for NON-espresso brews?

... to gauge with what few users exist. If it IS between the Virtuoso and the Rocky, the question, then, is whether or not anyone has personal, non-espresso experience with both of those two machines and can break the tie. :?: I know the Rocky is better built than the Virtuoso, but what I don't ...

Re: Patrick from Central NJ

Best grinder for NON-espresso brews?

... this is the million dollar question. (Or maybe I'm just not reading intelligently enough.) What I'm looking for is a grinder that's great for non-espresso brews and I don't care (much) about the price. I just want it to be good. If a $15 hand grinder is better for my purposes than a $400 espresso ...

Re: Looking for a good espresso grinder. Any thoughts?

... get the burrs close enough together? I have a Braun KMM30. Yes that one, the world's worst most laughable burr grinder. "Not good enough for espresso, won't grind fine enough." Well I took it apart following instructions I found on the web, and I found that the upper burr is adjustable. ...
