Hi, My name is Alf. I'm from Holland and have been making espresso's for over 20 years now. I've owned a pretty large number of machines but the last were a Quickmill Andreja,some Ponte Vecchio's,a Strega and now a Izzo Pompei which I consider to be the best I've ever owned. My current grinder is a new Mazzer Major. Greetz Alf

nice!

Great.Living in Australia. I've thought about emigrating in my younger years.Fear of big White Pointers kept me away I guess. 😃

Hi everyone have visited this forum many times and found it to be very friendly with lots of useful posts. Thought I'd better join up in case I ever had anything to contribute! Been into coffee for a number of years now, and with a "full-on" four year old and a 1 year old running around the house, now find it absolutely essential in getting through the day! Have only this year given home roasting a crack, and am really enjoying it. Dan

A warm welcome to the Crema forum Dan Coffee is the glue that binds us all KK

Hi Dan, You have some good equipment listed there! You'll find a few other Behmor users on here too, so check out the roasting section! Welcome.

Brett_H

A warm welcome Dan! Your kids are the same age as mine so I can thoroughly recommend sticking with the home roasting... as opposed to drinking the wine collection 😉

Thanks guys. Yes, I really spoiled myself this year after my Sunbeam 6910 had served me pretty well, but had one too many collar replacements in my opinion. Anyways, it was time to go to the next level 🙂 And yes, I have been searching through all the posts reading up on tips for the Behmor ... still a lot to learn and improve on. Brett, my 4 year old is the one where I get the biggest benefit from caffeine (me, not him). The 1 year old is very interested in the coffee making process, he watches the beans getting ground each morning and mumbles a lot of things during it all, probably pointing out where I am going wrong ^-^

Brett_H

My four year old has taken to complaining about the smell of coffee. I've told her that the coffee is necessary! She bought it but let me know she still didn't like it!

C-man

the 1yo is most likely mumbling something like; "dad stop grinding finer and finer, all you need to do is up- dose a little" gurble gurble

sidoney

Not new but been missing in action. 🙂 No updates on the equipment front, except maybe for the Aeropress and the Hario Slim grinder, for work, meetings etc. Still roasting in the little Baby Roaster, using the Rancilio Rocky and the Silvia with the PID kit. Nothing flash but does me. Play around with blends and beans, you know the drill. May not be posting again for a bit, dunno, in the final stages of my PhD - finally.

PHD... no wonder your brain hurts

Hi, I've been lurking here for ages. Thought it was about time to join up. I've been home roasting for about 2 or 3 years. Mainly for espresso. But I do enjoy the odd syphon or aeropress. At the moment I have an Oscar and a Eureka conical grinder. Cheers,

Lacehim

Hi Chaos, I just bought an Oscar 🙂 How do you find it? Glad to see you joining up and I hope to see you in Chat and posting on the board. There are equipment threads, and roasting threads, and we would love to see you posting about your experiences and what roasting equipment you use. Michael

Chaos

Thanks for the warm welcome. I really like the Oscar... except for the noise. But since buying it I've given up on milk drinks. And now it seems like a bit of a time+energy waste to heat a big boiler full of water up to steam temp every time I feel like espresso. So I'm thinking of replacing it with something more suitable. Maybe a single boiler E61 but not really sure.
