    You didnt say wheter you are talking drip or espresso. I have a Baratza Solis Maestro Plus for drip, and it is perfect for that. If you want to inlcude espresso in your mix, you may want to consider a Rancilio Rocky or higher (as many have suggested). I am considering selling my Baratza and...

    How do I know if I have the right grind size for drip?

    I have a Baratza Solis Maestro Plus coffee grinder, which I use primarily for drip. I have a Technivorm MoccaMaster KBT 741. I have been happy with the results, but I would like to know if there is any scientific or actual method of figuring out the correct grind size? I guess the same...

    I want to purchase a Rancilio silvia and rocky grinder

    You bring up a good point about single boiler vs double boiler. If I wanted to go double boiler, what manufacturers/models are recommended? Again, home use, but willing to spend money. I assume the advantage of a double boiler is better separate regulation of temperature for steam and for...

    Coffee Maker Smells Like Body Odor?

    Probably one of two things happened: Your roommate worked out regularly while standing over the coffee pot. The plastic is giving off the odor. In either case, it is probably most cost effective to buy another coffee pot.

    Good grinder is so important!

    I just want to agree with you. I just purchased a Baratza Solis Maestro Plus a few months ago. I love it. I mostly use it for drip now, but have had an espresso machine in the past, and I know how hard it was to make a decent espresso without a good grinder. Anyone out there who wants to do...

    I am looking for an affordable quality grinder and espresso

    Grinder I can recommend the Baratza Solis Maestro Plus ($150) for the grinder. I know others have recommended the Rancilio Rocky ($260). Check out www.coffeegeek.com and look under consumer reviews. Can't say anything about espresso machines, as I am looking for one too.

    I have been trying read through all the posts on a decent drip machine for the home. I would like coffee that tastes like the coffee you get at coffee shops or restaurants. I would like it to go into a caraffe to avoid burning the coffee. Lastly, the price should be reasonable ($200 or less)...
