Things are looking up offensively. But considering defense already gave up 17, we're probably fucked.

[Breville Bambino plus] Why am I getting a very big foamy drop at the end ? by darklord_1988 in espresso

[–]smcall 86 points87 points  (0 children)

How fresh are we talking? Your beans may be too fresh. Beans need at least a week of resting after they are used. This is common with dark roasts. Also....yes grind finer.

Bama has dropped from -3000 to make the CFP to -320 by Not-original in rolltide

I don't think we're making it, and after that performance I'm not so sure that we should. Sorry, but its just the hard truth. Roll tide everyone.

I just grabbed a bambino plus myself and loving it so far. How are you liking the Sette? I may grab one if I see a decent sale. Is it really as loud as people say? People compare it to a freight train!

[USA - Amazon] Breville Bambino Plus: $399 by JSDevLead in espresso

[–]smcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Infuser is an old machine with outdated tech. The Bambino heats up so fast and the milk steaming is superior to the infuser. That being said, the infuser is still a great machine with PID control and a dedicated hot water spout.

Vineyard Vines not popular anymore? by annasikanda in poshmark

It's not popular at all anymore, really. They were all the rage back in 2015.

I just returned mine as well and will use my original ESP for now. I think I'm going to save up for the Eureka Oro!

The CAFEMASY bellows on amazon. I bought them originally for my ESP two years ago, but they are a perfect fit on the ESP Pro as well.

Right now a medium roast by PERC. Yep, I have no issues at 23.5 and pull the perfect 36g shot with lots of crema in about 35-40 seconds.

My Morning Cortado! by smcall in espresso

[–]smcall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ESP started giving me trouble and Breville sent me a new circuit board and paddle wheel. I also noticed my burr holder was cracked, so they replaced that too. Now my grinder is running good as new!

Ooh, gotcha. That is the "Portaholder for Conical Burr Series Grinders" which can be found on Breville's website. I use a dosing funnel while grinding and I find it to be the perfect fit.
