I don’t use the steam wand enough to upgrade. I need to invest in a bottomless portafilter and better tamper. Do you have suggestions for these? I’d like to get a spring loaded tamper.

I’ve also started playing with the water flow valve. I pulled back the water and made the grind more coarse to try and maintain 9 bars. Undershot it this morning and never got to 9 bars. Slowly start moving to a finer ground.

I bought this portafilter and it’s fine. Any 58mm bottomless made to fit an E61 will work. LINK

I got this tamper and have no complaints. Just watch the tamper diameter. It should be > 58.

I also bought an 18g IMS ridgeless basket. Will have to do some more tinkering once that comes in.

I like French Truck in BR when I'm there.

Love this thread, I usually use Aeropress on the daily, but will also go with pour over if I'm looking for that clean cup o Joe.

You just use it in a drip coffee maker? I feel like grinding the beans fresh is a game changer.

I thought I was bad but a buddy of mine got some kind of roaster and has been roasting his own coffee beans. Wtf.

I want to try this, have heard good things. Do you do it at home? Is it just about the beans/roast? I know they use tiny cups, I might need to downgrade from the 16oz if it's too intense. Probably not though.

I believe the grind is most important on Turkish. Has to be ultra fine, even more so than Espresso.

How do you like your DF64? I've seen it's branded under a few names. Did you order yours from amazon?

I don't have a grinder, and so far, haven't done expresso, but who knows? I really just want to keep doing drip or french press, but don't want to have to buy a new grinder should I move on to expresso.

Does anyone know where to buy a good Hawaiian Kona? Preferably one that won’t break the bank. Thank you.

16 oz of Turkish Coffee would be a lot.

I’ve got it from Espresso Outlet. It’s great. I don’t have any issues. It does what it’s supposed to do. It’s a beast. I use it for both drip coffee and espresso.

Fresh Roast coffees have Hawaiian Kona. I’ve never had it but they roast to order and send them out. There is also a 20% off sale this weekend on single origin coffee.

Anyone got suggestions for an espresso roast? It can be a blend. I feel like I like the darker roasts better than the light. Light roast feel more like tea than coffee.
