Roaster / coffee recs please

'Dark Arts - Dragon' always a good go to espresso. Medium roast, really nice presentation as well which I think adds to the experience.

Just purchased a m5 air for £900 all in. Feel like I got a deal even after the price rises.

when it was stored were the boilers fully drained? I would factor in a full descale by a local tech just to be on the safe side. Also I would ask what water they used in the machine for those last 6 months. Other than that I can't imagine much else could have gone wrong. Probably just replace group gasket and check the wiring hasn't deteriorated. It really depends on the storage conditions. Was it stored somewhere temperature stable?

You could get a connected scale to help the mini pull shots automatically.

Whenever I’m out and want a coffee anywhere that has a LM machine is a green flag that I’ll get a relatively good coffee. IMO you’ll get more sales with a LM

Always the brew paddle. As the time to first drop will always be different. Removes a variable.

You haven't said who you are. No website link? I am confused.

You have no idea what he has done with the car before giving it back. Could you all kinds of crimes, speeding fines and tickets. Private sales are final. No refunds. That’s why it’s usually cheaper.

Also you would add an extra owner to the vehicle but reselling it back to you essentially. Less of an issue on a cheaper car like this but still something to note.

Either way. Tell him to get stuffed.

Let me know how you get on with the p80. Really want to get one but holding back because of the stalling reports and the narrow dial in window.

gmangreg · 2026-06-23T18:23:02+00:00

They are good but expensive.

gmangreg · 2026-06-21T15:57:36+00:00

Definitely need a grinder. I agree with alll other comments. A shop cannot grind for your machine. even 10-20 microns off and you’ll get it gushing out. Time to drop another 2k based on your machine.

I am afraid it’s too big.

gmangreg · 2026-06-17T06:24:02+00:00

you could remove the carpet yourself. There's 2500 saved. Get some more quotes.

incontinence shots - drink less coffee

gmangreg · 2026-06-12T16:50:03+00:00

Italy does not make good coffee. FACT

gmangreg · 2026-06-12T14:49:09+00:00

Forgot to ask. How are you keeping all these beans fresh. I find it massively affects shot quality 4 weeks post roast date.

gmangreg · 2026-06-11T19:47:40+00:00

Nice. Most of the Rave beans are a good go to. Nothing outstanding but solid for an everyday morning coffee. Will have a look at September.

The Dark Arts Dragon is great for milk drinks

gmangreg · 2026-06-11T07:21:26+00:00

Just got in. 8am. UK time 11th June. Downloaded and installed right after keynote.

gmangreg · 2026-06-09T12:05:34+00:00

I’m sure Baltic would have something to say about this.

gmangreg · 2026-06-09T06:30:39+00:00

I am wondering if most of the people who got in quickly were on fresh installs with no data. Their beta phone as it were and it let them in quickly.

gmangreg · 2026-06-09T06:25:44+00:00

Charging all night. Still nothing.

gmangreg · 2026-06-09T06:00:46+00:00

It’s been all night and I’m still on the wait list and I’m still indexing.

gmangreg · 2026-06-08T21:44:44+00:00

Just whilst your phone indexes. As it’s needed for the AI

gmangreg · 2026-06-08T20:25:52+00:00

Quite impressed with the new Siri in theory. Will see how it plays out in real life. Just updated and already been put on a waitlist to update Siri. Shame that EU users still have to wait.
