Very nice. When I first saw the machine I figured you were pressure testing a sub with it

BNA/LION · 31 January 2021, 03:44 AM

Makes a nice cup of Joe!

Good morning,
On deck today.

My preferred blend, Freedom Fuel, is unfortunately not available in Canada. However, this is a worthy substitute:

Nailed that art. Well done. Still a struggle for me. What pitcher are you using.

Thanks. They don't always turn out great but I'm getting better.

I got two Jibbijug pitchers for Christmas (an Airforce and a Kung Fu). I used the Kung Fu on this drink. They're very nice though! They're also very expensive and to be honest, if I were shelling out the cash on my own, I probably wouldn't spring for them. But if you're interested, she still has both these models for sale as a package on her website.

I also have an Espro Toroid which produces good results at a much lower price. I recommend the smaller one if you're making drinks for one. The larger one steams a lot of milk.

Apflorio1 · 7 March 2021, 10:31 AM

Lol you are clearly addicted as am I. I also have the espro, and two Jibbi’s. The Warrior X-men and Musketeer.

I agree the Espro is hard to beat for the price, but I get sucked in every time I see the latte art done with the Jiibi’s.

More practice needed but not necessary for these.

Cheers.

Updated our coffee maker to a Newer Mocamaster Tecnivorm from the older one and absolutely Love It! The thermal carafe is great and I like the new cylindrical look/style too.

Great coffee maker and I Highly Recommended it.

Excellent choice. Bet it makes a great cup.

gearguywb · 5 April 2021, 09:52 PM

Moccamaster's are awesome! We have been using one for about 10 years. IMHO, there is no better drip coffee maker.

Syed117 · 6 April 2021, 12:38 PM

Have had this machine for about 6 months and I love it. Not the best for coffee but great for espresso drinks.

Sure Does!

Today's score!

Still practicing my espresso and cappuccino skills on the La Pavoni lever machine.

My Espressos are getting a lot better, tiger striped crema, lovely well balanced shots.

Latte art in the cappuccinos is a bit more tricky than I thought though

Still a bit ugly for now, but very delicious

The shot looks great. You should check out Lance Hedrick on YouTube for some milk steaming tips.

Still need lots of practice but his techniques have helped me.

Wow that looks great!
I've been watching a ton of James Hoffman videos but he doesn't really get into making latte art. I will check Lance Hendrick out, thanks!

this thread is awesome. I'm a newbie to coffee and I'm just now trying out different beans using delonghi coffee maker.

Looking forward to return here.

What’s the holder for espresso cups there?

New for the weekend.

Goin2drt · 2 May 2021, 02:52 AM

I just went full send. Bought the Jura E8, wow!!!!

Now I think I need to step up my bean game. I was a Black Rifle subscription guy. Use the old fashioned French press. It was good.

Now I am trying to fine tune my skills with the E8 and the perfect cup of plain black coffee. Now that same French press coffee tastes and has a bit of a bitter finish at the end.

Any suggestions? Is the coffee just not that good? My settings for those with a Jura are at 2 beans from the strongest setting, 8 oz cup (max setting volume) and right in the middle on grind coarseness.

I know nothing about the Jura, but I’d try a slightly more coarse grind setting. There aren’t any real hard and fast rules when it comes to brews, as we all prefer something slightly different. But bitterness does tend to come as a result of a grind that is too fine.

Or the beans might be a bit old. Once my beans get past 2 weeks since roast, things tend to get a bit wonky.

I’ve got an E8, had it for a few years. Literally couldn’t live without it.

We have incredibly hard water where I live so I reckon I’ve spent more in consumables than the actual machine!!!!

I just use Lavazza beans bought from Amazon for convenience because we go through so much.
My wife hits the flat white button whereas I make a black coffee and then pump in a small portion of milk.

P.S.
I have the black & chrome version. Didn’t know it came in white.
