  • Breville / Sage - should we buy one?
    Are any of the Breville espresso machines suitable for making fine quality third wave espresso? Max and Nick review a different brand each week until we find a brand and machine that's going to give us everything we are looking for - brew stability, flow control, pre-infusion and more - in a single package.

  • PID's on espresso machines

    We talk about the three main ways espresso machines measure temperature and focus on the PID. We'll cover how a PID works, why it may not be so useful on a Heat Exchanger machine, and the importance of a group head design that works with the PID. Max also shows off a custom design he made for his Gaggia Paros.

  • Episode 27 - Coffee and Athletes

    This week we've drinking Burundi coffee from Artisan roaster - Amoret, based in Notting Hill Gate, London.

    We also discuss why athletes like coffee so much, and the science behind the performance boost. Recent news stories have indicated that getting habituated to caffeine will reduce the impact of the stimulant before an event.

    Yet recent scientific research largely debunks that. We discuss it on this week's Bean Talk.
