Coffee is really weak on my DeLonghi ECP 35.31

Hello fellow coffee enthusiast. Have that same machine and portafilter. Your problem is your grinder. I use a timemore C3 ESP Pro. Yes, it’s a hand grinder but it doesn’t take that much longer and I’ve been very happy with it for dark and medium roasts. They appear to be on sale, on Amazon for $80.

So I got my hands on a Pesado HD shower screen... Trigger warning.

Fully agree. The other day, I was showing my sister in law how to use her new machine, and we pulled a damn near perfect shot with an unmodified Bambino Plus and a Timemore C3 ESP. No WDT, no RDT, no dosing funnel, no puck screen, no distributor, no IMS basket. Stock tamp, single wall double shot ba

Pour over set up

Checking the total of the selected items amounts to way past ₱10k. Please reconsider your budget unless you are certain that you would enjoy this hobby. That being said, let's allocate the ₱10.5k. Grinder: ₱3.7k+ Timemore C3ESP Pro is a solid choice. Although if you're not planning to do espresso la

Moedor manual tramontina para expresso

Não vai ser bom o suficiente. Pegue a Oster que já vem com moedor, ou então pegue um 3Bomber Blade R3. Ou talvez o Kingrinder K1/K2, ou Timemore C3 ESP Pro, o que estiver mais em conta. Vai melhorar inclusive o seu coado. Daí você vende o Tramontina, pra não arcar com o custo todo. O Tramontina manu

TIFU by no doing research on my grinder

I hope you are talking about the c3 esp pro. The c3s pro would still struggle to get the detailed grind size adjustment needed for espresso. https://eightouncecoffee.ca/blogs/news/a-guide-to-the-timemore-c3-hand-grinder-collection

Should I buy a grinder

I have a Jura coffee machine for when it needs to go fast, but during the weekend and when I work from home I use a manual grinder with my Bialetti. I did a lot of research and in the end settled on the Timemore C3ESP. Anything cheaper did not get good reviews.

Budget Grinder

Hi, when i started out with my espresso journey (using Wacaco Picopresso), I opted for Timemore C3ESP manual coffee grinder with 23.3microns per adjustment. It was a good hand grinder. Grinds very fine and doesn't clog my picopresso. I had this setup for 2.5ish years. I have upgraded to a Bambino Pl

Help me make the best Cold Brew

Cold brew, paper-filtered (no gritty fines): Ground coffee + water, use any closed container, 1:10 or less water. Use less water if you're planning to dilute the brew (with water or milk). Use a scale for measuring. Refrigerate for 12hrs, this is max for me, but you can try for longer. Pass the brew
