That sounds fascinating; do enjoy.Just ordered some Havana Coffee Works "Hunduras RealTrade" beans.
Tasting notes:
Our RealTrade Honduras coffee - purchased right off the drying patios from a small farmers collective.
Balanced flavours of sweet white peach, toffee and hazelnut.
A deep flavour, versatile in its brewing
I normally go for the chocolatey tones in my coffee, so this will be an interesting choice.
Sounds delicious; do enjoy.new coffee arrived last Wednesday; Giant Maragogipe (good Lord! however is that word pronounced?) beans from the Ka'u region on Hawaii
washed process, medium dark roast....floral and juicy with a baked peach note
A timely reminder that espresso machines can need quite a bit of the proverbial Tender Loving Care.1st time I made the big cleaning and descaling my Sage Espresso machine - took probably over an hour. I hope it goes faster as I get used to it 😓
But it was still a complicated story with having the manual nearby and reading up to follow the steps.
Especially comparing to the Siemens machines that I've had, which told me on the display exactly every step and what to do. So we get what we pay for, surely.
Surely, but it felt like I had at least a teenager when I had the Siemens, and now I got an infant.A timely reminder that espresso machines can need quite a bit of the proverbial Tender Loving Care.
Ah, Ethiopia.hmmmm......time to consider purchasing some more beans; I'm thinking something from Ethiopia this time

...Then I switched to Guiness for St Pat's Day....
I look forward to reading your impressions (of both machine and of the coffee).I just ordered one myself. Should be here tomorrow with the beans from a local roaster be here Wednesday or Thursday.
I’ll try to report my first impressions. Dabbling into the world of espresso at home myself and it seemed like the perfect machine to get for a noob like myself.
That looks a little old school. How long you're having it?Well that’s a nice machine, $1200 usd ,

I’m using its little brother the Barista express, honestly I like the tactile & manual feel of grinding , then tamping, then hitting the double shot button twice
That looks a little old school. How long you're having it?
Wow. You have come far. And that gauge is 🤌.Honestly with 6 1/2 years usage I’ve looked at the fancier ones, no compelling reason for me to get one, mine works fine still.
Please give your opinion on the cleaning as well. I have never had much problems with any Espresso Machine on brewing but cleaning is something that tired me. How simple/difficult this one is.I just ordered one myself. Should be here tomorrow with the beans from a local roaster be here Wednesday or Thursday.

Frothing is another aspect I find I have never satisfied with any yet.
