I bought an ECM dual boiler which is waaay further down the rabbit hole, but damn it make a fine shot of espresso. Will last a lifetime.

What grinder and coffee are you using?


I went with a Ceado E37S. It's really high end and makes the ultimate cappuccino or espresso. I can't go anywhere and order anything better no matter where I go. I'm ruined.

As far as coffee, I've been getting French Truck varieties as fresh as I can find them. What else should I try?

Ceado E37S
I've considered one of these. I'm very familiar with them. Large flat burrs.

I'd really love a Monolith Flat or Flat Max. Burrs are precision aligned. Unfortunately, they are over $1000 more than the Ceado E37S. The Niche Zero is a new conical grinder that's taking the world by storm for its quality and affordability.

My favorite roasters are:

Tier 1:
Passenger Coffee
Sweet Bloom
George Howell

Tier 2:
Heart
Roseline
Ruby
Dragonfly

Your setup is excellent!!!

I've got one of the Breville touch models at home. Not sure which specific one off the top of my head but it is seriously incredible.

I legit hold off on coffee away from home because it's just spoiled me so much with how awesome and smooth the coffee it makes are. Highly recommend.

That would be a sweet setup for sure. My Creado has a really low grind noise level. Sounds rather pleasant. Other grinders I’ve been around are loud and abrasive to where you don’t want to be close by. I totally recommend it.

Anyone have any trouble shooting?

I thought I had mine dialed in. Beans are good, measured correctly.

the pour speed & pressure are where they say is ideal.

My pour ends up being sour & bitter though. I’m wondering if I let my machine sit too long, can it get too hot??
