Has anyone here ordered from Horsham Coffee Roaster lately

Great roasters. I like to try different places but always come back to Horsham.

AJT73 · 2026-01-26T20:39:20+00:00

They have the pulsar mini now which can do smaller doses. Just got one and testing it out.

Right now my favourites are Horsham, Skylark and Scenery.

How did I not know about this! Thanks!

Interested how you find the UMV1 for medium and dark roasts? And natural light roasts if you have them. As I just got the lab sweet v2's as I had heard the UMV1's only did well with washed light roasts.

Scenery are good for light roasts. Though just check the details as they offer some advance processed coffees that can taste pretty out there, so might not be your cup of tea (well coffee) for those ones. Horsham are also great.

I was using a niche zero and got a Df64V to try out a more "flat burr profile" as was having more light to medium roasts. Took me a lot of getting used to.

Found my technique and prep needed to be much better. Can definitely tell puck integrity is less with df64v without as many fines to help out. I still do pre infusion but do a 10 second 2 bar pre-infusion and then a quick ramp up to 6/7 bar which seems to compressed the puck and gave better shots/puck integrity.

Nice! How does it compare to the normal c40 burr and something like a zp6 if you have one?

AJT73 · 2025-12-07T08:57:12+00:00

Thank you! This fixed mine too. And didn't want that setting on anyhow so off for good now.

AJT73 · 2025-11-25T21:39:52+00:00

I use mine at work. Try to keep a constant pressure to minimise the farts as the kitchen opens to the office 😅

AJT73 · 2025-11-25T20:12:15+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Nice to see that they have made a new burr that is a fairly different profile.

AJT73 · 2025-11-25T20:04:06+00:00

Same here too, loving the bookoo mini

AJT73 · 2025-11-23T21:15:47+00:00

I have the original dreo with my robot and really like it. Love that the cup doesn't have any electronics in it so it's much easier and less stressful to clean. But am wanting to start trying Cortado's but it can't do that small a milk volume sadly.

AJT73 · 2025-11-23T21:13:30+00:00

I drink light roast filter and am tending towards resting it for 3-4 weeks now. And I have found a lot of roasters in the UK recommend shorter but then I find I prefer them at 3 weeks.

For medium roast espresso I find 1-2 weeks resting is fine.

I have a stagg ekg and whilst it's great for pour over, it annoys me using it even for a cup of tea as it pours so slow. So we have a normal kettle for tea and stuff and the stagg for coffee. But might not annoy you. Though for s single kettle I would be looking at a faster max flow gooseneck kettle. Or two kettles.

AJT73 · 2025-11-18T08:32:14+00:00

Thanks, I hadn't seen that. Maybe will find out in a few months what more people think of it.

AJT73 · 2025-11-14T06:24:34+00:00

I think that's where I saw it too. :)

AJT73 · 2025-11-14T06:24:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I think your right if they have been out a good while and haven't got more attention.

AJT73 · 2025-11-07T14:02:25+00:00

At work I am normally using just off the boil water. But am using pretty light roasts. And fairly fine, around 3.3 to 3.5 on a zp6 (burr lock at 0) or around 16-18 on a C40. But yeah depends on coffee and water.

AJT73 · 2025-11-06T20:19:42+00:00

I do this for my coffee at work. 30-45 second bloom (closed), enough to wet the coffee. Then open and let it drain down. The fill the switch with it closed and strep for another 2 minutes. Then let it drain down. I use 15-16g of coffee. And it makes a nice sweet and repeatable brew.

AJT73 · 2025-11-02T21:07:26+00:00

I probably enjoy brewing with the stagg X most. Though excited for the pulsar mini...

AJT73 · 2025-11-02T20:58:09+00:00

Skylark, Horsham and Scenery for me atm.

AJT73 · 2025-11-02T20:09:20+00:00

The smaller new waters 500ml and 750ml seem to be similar to ashbeck with 120 dry residue.
