  1. @TdeV "" I had the best cup of coffee I've ever had "" Ive had this twice that's what started me off to roasting after my father moved on I no longer went to visit him a few times a year abd brought home coffee form : http://www.connoisseurcoffeeco.com an article in the WSJ , friday , before there was a saturday had informations for the Swells : Best cashmere sweater etc. grinders should match your extraction method and do one-pass-thr0ugh and not heat up the beans buy re grinding. for drip : id say any one pass through burr grinder if who'll be easy to clean , unplugged of course 1 residue , oils and what not oxidize and are not what you might want. w that roaster , a large investment you can roast de-caff from Sweet maria and regular for you. your preferred extraction method will determine your grinder to match then out of the blue : roasting your own coffee at home. yes the Coffee experts said ! so I started : the first is no longer made , nor the second : iRoast but I learned gradually then moved to espresso as I initially did not think espresso could be made in this country . remember : I lived growing up 2 years in France and 2 Years in Spain way back before now. but you can.
  2. @TdeV your grinder is as important as you Espresso maker it should ' match ' for the Cup you hope to make. its very complex , but a grinder the does not give you uniform bits w/o heating them up will not help you w what ever espresso machine a real espresso machine you get. it takes time some experience over the years start out w something work it over , and then decide to keep it or move up. I can't over emphasize how easy it is to Roast Your Own as an initial starting point : green beans > Roasted Beans > grinding those beans > extracting the coffee you like drip if fine really good drip do not think that espresso is better than drip its different , and that all there is to it.

    @weinoo very nice " work area " esp for NYC. a city I did enjoy visiting a zillion years ago in college , visiting Friends in NJ. BTW I used to walk from lower GV , lets say in the 10's to way past the Metropolitan. and the first " green coffee beans ' Id ever seen were in a small place in GV called The Perfect Cup. but NYC isn't for me these days but that's about me , but some about NYC. BTW Im not envious at all on your WorkArea i might be if that Wolf were a Combi w an Induction top. but no matter it looks like it suits you which is all that counts.
  6. if you are going to get interested in roasing Id seriously consider this : https://www.roastmasters.com/behmor.html I had this roaster in the earli9er version , and used it for ' Drip " that I roasted , Vac'd and sent to my sister. I have a larger roaster for espresso , but that's a different story. the above place give you 8 lba green coffee sample and has free shipping Im very loyal to SweetMaria , the the obove is a better deal. you can do a fine job on 1/3 d of a lbs w this drum roaster and the initial investment will pay off in no time , and you will have better fresher coffee that you can taylor to your own taste-profile. an issue for the espresso ' single shot ' is that its a single shot and you can't make any adjustments. if carefully designed you might not need to. having several shots at the same time ? might be an issue , cool down etc. but its impressive for sure Id wait until someone at HomeBarista.com puts it through its paces if I were you. did I mention how important a very good grinder is for Espresso ? looking forward to HB.com 's reviews
  7. it looks very interesting. if , and its a big if , it works and produced high grade espresso, $ 383 is a bargain price. these are high-entry level machines : https://www.amazon.com/Rancilio-Espresso-Machine-Stainless-13-4-Inch/dp/B00H1OUSD2 and not that easy to use.
  8. I do too. try a blend of vinegar and rubbing alcohol after a soak in hot water. and a non-scratch scrubbing pad. good luck
  9. Sill hopeful for a RiceTable I did note that the Onion as Red . just saying. too bad TheCat Ginger was not friendly.

  11. OK what exactly is this : something is ground at the top ?
  12. looks like I'm going to have to get out more.

    @robirdstx Wow ! Meat cooked in a Pan ! very nostalgic ! good for you ! always good to keep traditions alive . did you light a few candles ?
  19. Ive gotten over the lasts few months two ' sheets ' of coupons for McD's 2 for 1. Sometime i can't resist further studies of the BigM etc but Wendy's has countered w a 2 for 5 crispy chicken sandwich they cheerfully add extra tomato ( not catsup ) and pickles to mine.; I bring them home , as W and McD are very close . Ive gone in the slow hours , and the CkSand was piping hot and crispy when i got home. I just added a few drops of Green Tabasco and that was it. W's added just the right amount of Mayo BTW. F.D. : since ive shown up when the ' restaurant ' [ sic ] was not busy they knew to add the tomato and pickle ( after a while ) w/o having to ask I can't imagine ever going to McD's ever again. even 3 for 1 4 for 1 would kill me , so that's out. of course this wont work for you if : 1 ) you don't like chicken 2 ) its too far away , but you could take take your own GreenT why not keep a small bottle in the Gove Compartment ?
  20. "" soon-ish "" hard to measure that. but my CSO is filling in nicely in the meantime "" a huge improvement "" I would love a huge improvement . well made , and attractively priced at scale , for that improvement. ditto above
  21. @Shelby did you do these from Fz ? or refrigerator-thawed. Tj's has some fresh vac'd-is salmon. farmed from Norway I might try this w the freshest piece I can find.

    yes. quite expensive. I made it a few times for my father in CA when visiting from a very good and high end butcher. w some mustard and Hunter-is French style it was very good. " tastes just like Chicken " but a really full flavored Chicken. One animal , can't recall the size no head in the US BTW was just enough for Two. but very tasty.
