It would be interesting to compare the S3 with the C3 Series.

Hej, You have C3 or C3 espresso?:)

i dont know what to get can someone please help me what is better kingrinder k6 or the C3 Timemore? (i will be making espressos more often)

Would the J-Ultra be an upgrade compared to the K6? K6 can grind well and quickly for espresso, but it is not comfortable. Maybe a J-max or even a k4 to get a different sensory profile?

This means never having to clean coffee grounds out of the metal mesh strainer! Just put coffee filters on my shopping list.

I just got my first French Press, looking for how to's and tips. Thanks much.

What about a bloom?

Hi, how do you think, would it be an upgrade to 1) Kingrinder K4 2) DF64 GEN 2 with DLC burr set Espresso ONLY, middle to darker roasts. Thanks in advance.

Hi! Thanks for your advice. You suggest ZP6 is bad for a moka pot, but at your website with 1Zpressso ranking, ZP6 is the only grinder were you mention the moka pot. "You can, however, use it for fine AeroPress or Moka pot grinding."

Hi and thanks for the great video, should ı change the times when ı am brewing one cup of coffe (250 ml)

Hello! Can you please recommend which of the 1Zpresso grinders is most suitable for a moka pot? ZP6, K-Ultra or this one?

I've no idea who this guy is, but his reviews are excellent!

For me the sliding on the old kettle is not good but what is worse is the power on/off and heat button being so unreliable.

This recipe is so good! Brightens up my mornings lol

thanks , just ordered the Gen 2, i tested the Varia before but did not get consistent results on it

For god's sake just upload the la Pavoni video

I always feel weird when I see these ultra cheap machines. My handgrinder literally cost 3 times as much!

I don't seem to get good results with this. I kept all the other variables constant (1:15 ratio, same grinder and coarseness, two filters, same water temperature and of course coffee from the same bag of beans) and did a regular 13g coffee + 200g water brew with my Aeropress Go which was sweet and perhaps a bit weak but still very positive. Then did a 23g coffee + 350g water with this method and the coffee is noticeably more bitter and harsh! I would be interested in understanding what could be going on.

Asser didn't mention the water temperature, right? Or did I miss it? I'm thinking 93 C because that's what Tetsu recommends in his similar recipe. Thoughts?

I've used a good few of the DeLonghi machines, including this 230BK. It belonged to a friend who was just getting into home espresso. While the machine is a bit finicky, I think it is a great entry item with great return. Easy to experiment with, upgrade, and of course, get a good range of profiles. I had a bit of trouble pulling some turbo shots because of the restricted flow rate. But good nonetheless for a beginner. I still use a Flair 58+ when profiling. So reliable and easy (once you get a feeling for it).

I have the delonghi dedica. Before I brew, I always flush it to heat up the machine. When brewing, I start the pump until I see coffee drops in the bottom of the basket, and then let it drip until about 5g. Once 5 grams have hit, I let it rip until I am about 8g-5g away from my target weight, which allows it to ramp down in pressure. So far, this has resulted in excellent espresso.

Would prefer no slurping in a setting like this. Especially Espresso in this setting or Cappuccino in general. Anyway thanks for the video

A few days ago I was looking forward for this machine ) Bare minimum, but still feels like better value than Flair Neo. Edit: Oh, wait that was Stilosa EC230. Looks the same. But what`s the difference ?

There is a valve between the head and the boiler in these to stop dripping when the water gets hot (boiler goes to 2-3 bar pressure at full temperature) That valve opens at 5-6 bars which makes it hard for me to calculate the real pressure hitting the coffee puck. I have one of these modded with pressure gauge and a pump dimmer but finding a way to stabilize temperature would be good.

I have an ECP 35.31 at home. I can probably use the sams technique as showed?

Link points to 260BK

That's manual dimmer mod operation without the actual modification, XD.

Keep in freezer, just take out the amount you need each day and then close the bag by rolling the opening of the bag down so no air gets in and then close with a bulldog clip or clothes pin and put back into the freezer. Keeps fresh for at least a month without loss of smell or flavour.

Does this method work with any machine without an OPV? For example a breville bambino.

I've seen way too many reviews from this product and everyone says it's disfunctional. After a month something will break. Either the on/off button or the boiler or it'll start leaking from the plastic etc.

A more controllable alternative to on/off pulses would be to use the steam knob during extraction. I suggest you try this: 1. Start the pump 2. When the basket is saturated stop the pump and pause for a few seconds 3. Turn the pump on again to resume the shot and ramp up to full pressure 4. When you reach half of the target weight, gradually open the steam knob to ramp down pressure. You may want to put a pitcher or a mug under the steam wand, to collect water Note that boiler temperature will reduce due to more fresh water entering it, as some water is lost through the steam wand. But this only starts midway through the shot, so not a huge deal. Also, if the boiler here is really 250 ml it won't lose as much heat as, say, a 110 ml boiler used in a Gaggia Classic "Pro".

You can modify these with the xmt7100 pid quite easily for better temp control (including ability to drop temp). Also have done a Gaggiuino type mod on one. The one issue is they have a spring above the group head to prevent dripping which limits the ability of mod to drop pressure since stock spring won’t release until approximately 5 bars. Best is just adding the pid and pot on the pump.

Nooooooooo! And I have just bought the Rancilio X Pro. 🤦‍♂️ 😏

Never seen this technique before! Cool idea.

If I were entry level, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. I'd almost downgrade for it now.

Title is misleading Far away from manual levers ..would never opt for this

Thank you for shining a light on this machine. I will definitely check it out. I already bought the J-ultra because of your review so you've been pretty influential on me haha

Watching then trying in May 2024, and it works so good! Thanks for sharing 👍

I just lost my v60 in a mini-typhoon last night (had it sitting outside on the patio), all I had this morning was a french press and a bunch of v60 papers. So it's like you made this recipe for me lol

the new kettle is slower heating up? how is that? it has 1350 w vs 900 w of the old kettle

I used your recipie today--to the letter-- using Philz Ambrosia. So good!

Actually it can make very good espresso

You think it grinds Turkish coffee too? Cezve/ibrik ultrafine.

Great tips... always pains me to see people agitating the grounds with a spoon or whatever...

Simple question, simple answer... No.

Just get a Clever dripper?

I would never buy either one if the battery is not replaceable. These batteries all have limited charge cycles. If the batteries are not replaceable these are basically disposable products.

I've been doing French press for years (and mostly doing it right!) but this was a fantastic video, so helpful. I have liked and subscribed!

Why would you not just do your pour over setup directly into the mug? Using the aeropress seems unsteady and easy to knock over
