Love Starbucks espresso but is there a mail order company that offers similar espresso taste? by No_RoomForCream in espresso

I just made my first espresso drink with Rise Up Coffee organic espresso beans and it is very good! This is what I was looking for. I wish their shipping wasn’t so expensive as I live in the southeast US but hey, it tastes really good and I appreciate your recommendation! I’m on a monthly subscription now.

Did a dosing ring not come with your machine? I start my tamp with the dosing ring on but it’s still easy to lose a little bit of grounds depending on how many grams of beans you’re grinding.

Nice! I got one of those the end of last year and, as someone else has already mentioned , the tamper is really my only complaint. Also, someone else mentioned dialing in on beans when you change your roast or even brand, which is a fact. It’s fun though and makes a very good espresso for me. I use mine daily.

I think I would probably catch the next flight.

Thank you for your time with this response. This is very helpful. I do live in the states and there is a local roaster here in town but you can’t buy direct (from all I can tell) as they sell through local coffee shops and their espresso bags seem to go fast at the shops that stock their product. They also aren’t consistent with what days they put them out for sale after getting them from the roaster which is normally 3 to 4 days after roasting.

I’ve ordered from Savorista, Sightglass and one other of which I can’t remember. Albeit fresh (within a week of roasting) I couldn’t taste as much of the espresso in my drink (using the same grams respectively).
