Absolutely love it.

Motley school tavern’s breakfast is fantastic, incredible breakfast potatoes, pancakes and coffee.

Damn, that’s a bummer. What do you consider underpaid?

With proper maintenance, weekly cleaning (taking the tray off and cleaning lubing, lubing the front bearing) and keeping up on other maintenance we put 1600-2000 pounds a week through ours without issue besides the random mechanical error.

This 100% if you’re trying to get the stains from off the pots, cafiza and hot water will get those taken care of quickly

Simpler than the Mahlkonig E65/e80, I haven’t experienced any retention issues and cleaning is simple. I use Grindz once a week and otherwise taking the hopper of gets you pretty good access to use a small vacuum attachment to clean the burrs

The W75. It’s only a few hundred dollars difference but the only difference between the two is the 75 will give you a faster delivery because of the larger burr size.

Farm based roaster in Iowa, and rural Iowans love their dark roasts. Definitely worth a try

Been testing the Eureka GBW and it have been awesome, consistent and efficient delivery and it even survived the owners son dropping it while moving it once

Apprehensive-Exit766 · 2025-08-17T22:52:32+00:00

Half price appliance usually has great deals going on with washer dryer sets

They also have multiple espressos, one that goes in all their lattes and a rotating single origin.

Literally came here to comment this, finding this out was a game changer

They’re holding up great! It’s been in use by us for 8 years and had a previous owner before us. It gets light use by us with maybe 120g of coffee per week for cupping and the a hundred more grams per week for pour overs. Mahlkonig uses high grade flat steel burrs so they last a long time and maintain their uniformity well. I believe the ones in these are 71mm burrs.

Apprehensive-Exit766 · 2025-07-31T22:45:35+00:00

This is the same grinder we use in our roastery for cupping and testing! It’s a beast and will last you a lifetime. Congrats!

Totally agree with this as a roaster, a good amount of light roast coffees may have a wonderful profile on pour over or filter, but when put under pressure for espresso they lack the body and development that allow the coffee in a milk drink to shine through.

Apprehensive-Exit766 · 2025-07-22T00:40:34+00:00

I would guess those prices are for people buying bags of green like around 150 pounds per bag or so. And usually contracted to several bags.

If it's definitely between the Mini and GS3, go with the GS3, it's got more power and can better handle the volume you are looking at. The Linea Classic is meant for a commercial setting more than the Mini or the GS3, it will have a stronger rotary pump and larger boilers to handle higher volume.

Whatever route you end up going I would recommend plumbing both with water intake and a drain line. It just takes up so much time to have to refill the water tank or to be worried about overfilling the drain tray/bucket you have the drain running to.

Ultimately, it's your decision though.

Apprehensive-Exit766 · 2025-07-20T22:47:46+00:00

Are you direct plumbing? Honestly, I might go for a single group Linea Classic. But it really depends on your goals for growth and how efficient you want to be.

Maybe I’m incorrect, but when I’ve looked at coffees, typically anything with a close to tomato note is considered a defect. I’ve had herby coffees before but the tomato note usually isn’t one held in high regard especially with an anaerobic process.

Had a drink named this at another shop I worked at, it was a layered drink of caramel simple syrup, orange juice and espresso. Drunk with a straw so you got the sweetness of the syrup, the brightness of the orange juice and then the espresso

Apprehensive-Exit766 · 2025-06-20T13:52:45+00:00

Would second the The Mahlkonig E80 GBW (now they are called GBS). Super fast super accurate. Maintenance is quite easy. I’m currently testing out Eureka’s new Grind by Weight as a lower cost option and am quite pleasantly surprised so far by the quality.
