It seems that on Amazon, the only way to get a 58.3mm tamper quickly is to buy a spring loaded one. I already have a 58mm tamper, which isn’t a perfect fit for the standard portafilter in a Quick Mill Pop Up (58.5 vs 58). Mostly just want someone to say it doesn’t matter, unless you feel really strongly that it does. In which case, let me know. I should have gotten a basic tamper from Clive Coffee, but forgot.

Drinking what is probably the most expensive coffee I've had at home. $35ish for a 13 ounce bag. I definitely taste the raisins and pineapple, unfortunately, the experience is degraded by weird taste I'm getting, likely from the EA decaf process. Some EA decafs have this issue, but not all. This is sadly one of them.

Hi all,

Recently upgraded my pourover setup to Fellow Opus 2 and Stagg XF, which significantly increased clarity. Looking to do something similar with my espresso setup. The Philips is fine, but I want something great, not just fine. Seems like the Profitec Go is a definite step up and suits my tastes better as I mostly drink espresso, not Americanos or milk drinks these days.

I’m looking for advice on what grinder to pair with the GO. Seems like Varia VS4 is a good choice, but Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP also came up as a possible. I mostly drink light to medium roast, and only decaf (regular coffee unfortunately makes me feel ill, sad, I know, but good decaf is just as tasty, IMO).

Anywho, let me know what you think about the Go as well as single dose grinder to go with it, pun intended. Budget for machine is $1200 and max I want to spend on grinder is $550.

Hey y’all,

So I’m following Lance’s recipe and using the twist method to allow water to flow onto the puck before tightening the waterfall fully onto the puck basket. Problem is that invariably, the top paper filter (and Able metal disc if I’m using it) floats to the top of the puck chamber. What am I doing wrong and is there a better method to make sure that there are no air gaps in the water column before applying pressure to soak the puck? Thanks!

With the Able disc in place, once this happens, it tilts at an angle and prevents water from hitting most of the puck. With just the paper filter, the bed is disturbed which causes uneven extraction.

Unfortunately, I cannot drink regular coffee as a single pourover session makes me fill ill for rest of the day. :( But I love the smell and taste of coffee so drink decaf. I currently get my beans mostly via Bottomless subscription and have about 50 light to medium roast decafs in my queue.

Anywho, writing this post to connect with other people here that like quality decaf beans and wondering what your go to shops are, or if you're using a subscription, which one. I live near Portland, OR so plenty of local options, but not particularly convenient.
