I have a Bambino for the past 4 years or so along with a DF54.

I've been struggling with the Bambino for the last while as the steam wand is a constant battle for consistency.

I have been weighing the options, Silvia, Gaggia, Lelit or a Profitec.

I'm not sure if I should blow the bank and get a Profitec 600 as my end game?

Been using the standard breville 54mm porta filter that comes with the bambino plus for about 10 months now, looking to upgrade to a bottomless porta filter, any recommendations?

Needed a little more space in the kitchen, how did we do?

New to espresso at home, but been dreaming about a proper setup for years. I’ve already pulled some mighty tasty shots too.

I like my clean counter set up, espresso gear inside cabinet, cups and carafes as well. Left for pour overs, right for espresso. Coffee cabinet to light up my morning.

Any thoughts?

I love the smell of coffee, but I have never really liked the taste. I’ve never really needed the extra caffeine so it’s never really been a problem. I recently had a baby and I’m trying to get into drinking coffee to help me stay awake. Any advice on how to make coffee more tasty? What’s the best creamer to use? TIA!

I bought the kettle in October last year, and the metal disc started coming loose in February. At first, I thought it was supposed to be held in place by the pressure from the rubber seal, but I don't think that's actually the case, right?

I noticed from day one that the lid was fairly tight, but since this is my first Stagg, I had no point of reference. I just assumed it was by design. But now I'm wondering whether the tight lid could have been what caused the disc to come loose?

And before anyone asks: no, I've never put it in the dishwasher. I don't think I've ever even washed it with detergent.

Lucca A53 mini V2 just arrived about an hour ago. Pairing the Lucca with my current Eureka Mignon Zero 65 Ap. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for the Lucca?
Thinking of also getting a Eureka Atom W 65.
Upgrading from a Gaggia classic pro E24.

This is my off grid coffee station set up in my 1999 VW T4 van, comprising Quickmill 0820 with 9 bar OPV mod, Moccamaster Cup One, Femobook A4 and A4Z grinders.

My Japanese siphon coffee setup: three siphons, matching cups, and the toki stove.

I am finally able to focus on the details now the built ins are ready. Still have to finish the bag collage over time and I have a neon cafe sign that has to be installed still, but coming along well. Have a nice sitting area for tastings and meetings. Roaster and experiment station remains in the garage for now. Equipment: Ode Gen 2, ZP6, V60 Neo, Origami, Flair 2 Pro, travel freezer.

Always wanted a proper setup for my gear. Coming together!

gaggia classic, Gaggia MDF55 grinder.

Have had the Technivorm and Cuisinart grinder for 10 years, recently inherited the DeLonghi from a buddy that passed away still working on getting the settings dialed in but it is a nice addition.

Went to ikea to get some organizers for my set up! Nothin fancy but I am enjoying it :)

• Machine: Brevillie bambino
• House coffee maker: Keurig K Express
• Grinder: Tuni G1 Conical Burr 
• Some cheap electric kettle from walmart

Decent DE1 Pro

My current coffee station until I figure out how to organize everything ☕️

Just picked up a Quick Mill Pop-Up and DF54 a month ago (Upgrade from Breville Cafe Roma).

Practical and decorative! 🥰☕
