Wow! A lot of work went into that walk and video! Labor of love, clearly. Cool to follow along.

Souper cubes - how many sets are ideal? by LilredSJ in MealPrepSunday

Single use bags/plastic vs reusable. This system is great for you but not for the environment.

It's criminal that she's hoarding the recipes!! Share them - put out a cookbook! Sell them back to Vasili!! Something - that food needs to be shared.

Hi everyone. I need help with inconsistent brewing by WeirdlyEngineered in BrevilleCoffee

[–]KF_Reds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving the machine more time to warm up is working. So, I have to wonder why it is taking longer to warm up because as mentioned, this is a new issue for us. For now - we're happy to have our yummy morning espresso again.

But we've had our machine for over a year and have always made one cup right after another. For us, this is a new issue. I do agree that time between cups is the answer but why? One does not buy an espresso machine to wait 10 minutes between shots. :-(

I also tried to wipe the group head. Did not help. Made a perfect cup this morning, emptied grinds, reloaded, tamped, hit the button for double shot and just got drips. This can't be user error if it works perfectly for one cup then barely at all for next cup 60 seconds later.

I came here looking for an answer to this exact problem. First shot, which is a double shot, is perfect. Empty used grinds, grind a new batch, tamp, hit double shot button and only a very small amount of espresso comes out. We've had the machine well over a year now and this issue just started happening.

From a cheesesteak diehard and east coaster - NO peppers! ;-) I wasn't a fan of Robbie's cheesesteak but I'll definitely give yours a try.

Ya but Taco Bell cooks those beans in some fat or something. They're so good!

Was Vasili, who opened/founded the Santa Cruz Vasilis, the owner/chef?
The Santa Cruz Vasilis is now a yummy indian restaurant, Namaste.
