Long-term reviews and working guides from a functioning setup: a La Marzocco Linea Mini, a Mazzer Philos, a Fellow EKG, and whatever is currently being tested against them. Everything we stock runs here first.

We write when something wears in, wears out, or surprises us, with numbers where numbers exist: temperature drift, retention weights, shot times, how a burr set tastes at 500 grams versus 50 kilos. Reviews after years, not unboxings.

Start anywhere: the dial-in method, the water guide, or the first-setup guide. The review roundups carry their own warning label: we sell some of what we review, so read us skeptically.

The dispatch will say when new entries land.
