Coffee Appreciation

Just opened a bag of that Finca El Mandarino! Still not 100% dialled in but next one should be there!

Hi, does anyone have any experience with Wacaco and/or picopresso?

I got mine about 18 months ago and was regularly using it but it seems to have given up on me. I’m in contact with Wacaco and I’ve taken it apart and cleaned it etc but didn’t seem to do much. It doesn’t produce the same pressure as before? Big fan in general though and love how portable it is. I haven’t done many outdoorsy espressos but it tends to travel with me etc.

Any suggestions (or recommendations for replacements (flair pro 2?)) would be welcomed!

Gracies

Could it be a seal/o-ring that’s worn?

This guy has a service video. Mentioned a possible reason for not holding pressure.

Finally cracked and bought the shades of coffee led kit as I’m fed up of the old does it have water or not, looks more white irl, but together with the single hole steam wand tip and wooden steam handle a nice little set of upgrades.

Instructions are poor, but the mod is very easy…

Which low profile drip tray do you have there?

Shades of coffee.

I've been to Vietnam and Seoul the past 2.5 weeks and brought me some coffee. Korea's coffee scene is amazing!
Despite all the geishas that I had over there (iced, because that's apparently the way to go in Korea), I actually missed brewing coffee myself.
The coffees I brought are now vacuum-sealed and in the freezer. Should last a few months

Does anyone have experience of https://www.roastandpost.com/ ?

I see they have a referral scheme so am happy to accept a discount code (and you get one too) if there are any current users?

Just nearly put 4 scoops of sugar in my coffee machine instead of coffee. I think it’s going to be one of those days.

State of the art coffee counter at the new shop

That's one chonky looking kettle.

^^ taking the hipster vibe a bit too far there I think.

Never mind the kettle, look at the size of that black mug

Look at the size of the cups!

Love the coffee scene in Seoul. Also the aesthetic is very pleasing

4 litres mate.

Any recommendations for roasters in Ipswich area. I’ll be there next week and need to stock up.

Another in Northampton?

Near Daventry this one.

Very cool. Glad things are going well!

Thanks mate!

Our Sage Barista lost pressure mid shot this morning, is there a Lufgus recommended repair shop?

Any water coming out at all through the grouphead, steam wand or water tap?
