Forum: Espresso Discussions: Espresso Machines   Subject: Re: Is CC1 the best 58mm machine under $1000?   Posted: Fri May 24, 2013, 10:30pm

Preview: Excellent machine,  but best under a thousand, not sure about that. There are some nice machines right around the 1k mark, the Cuadra is just under 1k and is an h/x. At its price point though and for its...

Forum: Espresso Discussions: Espresso Machines   Subject: Re: Used Faema Due   Posted: Fri May 24, 2013, 9:17pm

Preview: I think that you should look for a machine when you're much closer to opening time. Two years or so is way too far ahead because: (1) you have a better chance by then to find a more modern machine at a...

Preview: I'm talking to someone about this machine and he's asking $995 on craigslist. I'm looking to start a cafe in a couple years and I'm trying to invest in things over time, so it'll be in storage a while....

Preview: Your friend's grinder isn't all that good, honestly. The steps are too wide, so it's tough to get the grind right where you need it and so when you're stuck between a rock and a hard place, all you can...

Forum: Espresso Discussions: Espresso Mods and Restorations   Subject: Re: Saeco Starbucks Barista portafilter question   Posted: Fri May 24, 2013, 8:45pm

Preview: I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you meant Major Dickason blend, not general Dickinson. If you really want that coffee I'd suggested ordering it from the Peets website. That way it'll be freshly...

Preview: Sorry, I missed on the basket fill.  Noted before I read your post, use a double if possible and fill, double or single, so that after you tamp and use the puck, the wet puck just touches the screw....

Preview: Update:  Reassembled the portafilter, slight leak to start off on the left side, but none on the right. It stops shortly after.  Using 7g espresso and ~32lbs of force for the tamp.  Shot pull was still...
