                Anyone here have experience with a lever machine? Specifically the Bezzera Strega. My beloved 13 year old Quick Mill QM67 is down for the count (shorted wiring).
                The Strega has great reviews and a comfortable price point. The Profitec 800 and Londinium R24 are candidates too. Thanks!

                  I've got a Stregra; sadly it's been sitting in a box now for 7 years. It's fantastic and was on daily duty for many years. What do you want to know?

                  At the time, I got mine around the time the Londinium released their first machine. That version was a little quirky as I recall but did make great 'spro too.

                  Feel free to pm.

                    Wow. I thought the Strega was kinda rare. So cool, and of course, someone into IH, has this machine. I’ll hit you up in PM’s.

                        Has anyone got a good recommendation for a little coffee travel bag? Looking to take something like an Aeropress, grinder, beans, filters etc ... As much as I think I can survive on tea or passable coffee for a few days I do really miss a great cup to start the day when I'm away from home and there's no easy to access good coffee shop nearby.

                            @m4xime looks like @giles is selling one at a good price over in B&S.

                                Most interesting coffee I've had in a while, the Turkish Delight flavour is so distinct. 👌

                                          Well this was wild. My friend heads up sourcing at Corvus Coffee of Denver and they got some beans of eugenoides, the species of coffee that crossed with robusta to form arabica. It’s an exceptionally rare bean reserved normally for barista championships.

                                          They put together a brilliant tasting that went through this lineage and culminated with several forms of eugenoides. It was mind blowing. The bitterness going from robusta to arabica and eugenoides went to nothing, and the tartness and citrus fruit in a granola bar flavor was wild. The pourover and especially espresso and cortado were incredible. They have to grind quite fine for the pour over such that the espresso and pour over grinds are similar. It sheds water much more readily than other beans for some reason.

                                          The four of us at the tasting went through about 2 cups of caffeine worth across all varietals and the eugenoides piece would have been two trees for what we had. It’s a low yield and tiny tree so it’s hard to find and I’m so grateful to have had it. But it’s where the brighter flavors of arabica came from. Pretty cool to taste that.
