Max is back for a short conversation on lever machines and whether there is still a point to them. I admit I'm slightly fascinated by the Profitec Pro 800, but can they still compete with the electronic pressure profiling of other modern machines?

I bought the Lagom P64 in January, and today I'm going to explain what led me to this grinder when there's so many other good one's on the market. But, there's one big problem. I still haven't received it!

LELIT has been acquired by Breville for $113m and I believe this is significant. This week, we'll explain what I think Breville's plan is, what this, along with their earlier purchase of Baratza grinders, will mean in terms of the product line up.

I love this grinder, with a couple of exceptions. I've run over 4,000 shots through this baby. My review differs a little from others I've seen out there. But now I'm buying a new grinder. Let me explain.

We've chosen some chocolate that goes well with coffee, and some that are enjoyable without. Great chocolate has similarities to great coffee, in the way it is grown, how flavours develop, and then how those flavours are brought out by the processing of a master.

The chocolates we chose are available in the UK, Europe, and the US as well as other parts of the world. Online shops selling these bars will also sell other specialty options, liked bonbons and truffles that may appeal to you for Valentines day as well.

The Linea Mini makes just as good coffee as it ever did. The problem La Marzocco has, is that the world has moved on and there's so many more great options for the price.

For some, the Linea Mini will still be the right choice, but that group is shrinking, and a new phone app and colour, just isn't going to be enough to win over our hard-earned cash.

Could La Marzocco consider making a clearer separation between a home user machine and leaving the commercially certified version for the GS3?
