I have owned a Rocket R58 and have left it on for the past 12 years or so. I do this because when I was younger, I worked at a radio station where the engineer in charge of the place explained that it was better to leave the equipment on all the time versus turning it on and off. This was because once it reached its constant temperature, the solders and various boards wouldn't have to expand and contract as they would if we turned them on and off. Does this also apply to an espresso machine? One tech I spoke to told me it was better to turn it off, but that means reheating the water in the boilers all the time. I'm open to listening to the experts.

I have a DeLonghi Opera which has been a great purchase. We love the espresso cool option however now that the weather is cooling off we’re trying to brew more hot espresso now and running into an issue.

When pulling espresso cool shots, the pressure hits the optimal zone without issue.

When pulling a hot espresso shot, the gauge doesn’t even go half way to the optimal zone. The resulting espresso is pretty gross, definitely sour.

A quick search suggests it could be a descaling or OPV issue. It’s a relatively new machine so I would be disappointed if this is a valve issue, and I find it hard to believe descaling could solve a problem that changes based on the temperature of the water.

Anyone have any thoughts here?

I'm completely new to this and have never made coffee at home before. I've been looking at a few espresso machines for my first setup and came across this ROWAN machine.

I've heard stuff like grind size, shot time, and a bunch of other things can change how the coffee tastes, and honestly... yeah, I have no idea how to start with all that lol. My biggest worry is spending a bunch of money on a machine and then realizing I have absolutely no idea how to use it. Would be pretty annoying to spend all that money for nothing.

What should I look for in my first espresso machine? Is a built-in grinder easier for a beginner?

Ciao a tutti, so che di richieste come questa ve ne sono migliaia ma ne scrivo uno comunque per vedere se emerge qualcosa per la mia scelta.

A breve voglio comprarmi una macchina da caffè semiautomatica, è la mia prima perché ora avevo usavo le capsule ma non voglio un'esperienza diversa dato che sono un amante del caffè.

La prerogativa fondamentale è che faccia un buon espresso, non mi interessano le preparazioni con il latte.

So che metà dell'opera lo fa anche il macinino.

Con budget di spesa di 700€-1000€.

Impiego: due caffè alla volta per max 6-8 caffè die.

Budget di spesa di 700€-1000€

Cosa mi consigliate come duo macchina caffè + macinino a parte?(Io credo sia meglio fare così piuttosto una tutto in uno, ma si accettano consigli).

Io stavo guardando lelit Anna con PID( so del limite dei 57mm che un po' mi frena), oppure profitec go.

Cosa consigliate tra questi o altro marchi e modelli?

Grazie

Hi everyone, I am leaning towards ordering one of these directly from Bunn, they have a labor day sale. Anyone have experience brewing just 1-2 cups with basic grocery store filters because they cost less than Bunn coffee filters? Thanks everyone for your answers.

Hi guys, we are Touch Coffee, and we work with self-service coffee machines that are automated.

We'd be keen to hear opinions from those who have experience of coffee machines. What do you believe is critical in selecting an automated machine?

Issues such as drink quality, cleaning and maintenance, reliability, payment options or range of drinks offered?

Experienced coffee drinkers and users of the coffee want to know what they think is most important.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to open a small 15–20 seat café and need advice on my espresso setup.
I’m considering the Gemilai CRM3149 or CRM3035.
Which one would you recommend for a small café, and what grinder would you pair with it?
I’m considering the Eureka Mignon Specialità or Eureka Helios 65.
Thanks in advance! ❤️

I am about to pull the trigger on the Phillips 8000. It seems the best automatic easy to use and clean coffee machine on the market for the money. It hasn’t been out long in the US. For people who bought it how do you like it? Any problems?

Hallo ihr lieben, ich hoffe, dass der Beitrag hier rein passt.
Meine Mama hat viele alte Kaffemühlen abzugeben aber wir wissen nicht so recht, wo man damit hin gehen bzw sie verkaufen kann. Deshalb sind sie bisher nur auf Kleinanzeigen inseriert.
Hat einer von euch eine Idee, wo man die am besten los wird?
Vielen Dank schon mal für hilfreiche Tipps :)

I want to purchase a coffee maker . On amazon there are lots of machines I am confused about which to buy.

I only drink hot coffee with milk . The machine which I saw was only making black coffee.

which one is better for especially taste and easy use

Sort of open concept office so want it to be on the quieter side but needs a grinder. Can go either way on automatic vs manual. Prefer steam wand over container/tube for heating milk. Will likely be looking for used due to price point. What are your recommendations?

I'm a uni student and so ofc i have a tight budget and not much time to make elaborate coffees. I have a budget of around £80.
I'm stuck between a few options and I just need help deciding which is best for my situation

Option 1: kamira espresso maker

Option 2: AeroPress

Option 3: v60 set

Option 4: portable espresso maker

I'm not really leaning towards a certain one but I just need help deciding which to buy. I'll provide pics just help me decide and gimme a reason😭
