Though Forges are all out of stock, the pre-orders are shipping! All is going well, but tiring process. The good news for a few waiting is that I’ve had a couple drop off, so some units will be available. I will contact you once I have sent out all pending orders.

As many of you may know (I have sent out to all who have pre-ordered Forges), Forges have been delayed due to a problem that needs correction. Some of the parts will be sent back to repair. I’m estimating everything to be solved around the end of May. We have a solution, so this is […]
For any that are not signed up for notifications on production status, just want to update that the custom parts for this coming round will be coming on Tuesday! There are only 2-3 units left out of the 50 being made. Once built they will be available to purchase directly. I also have the Kinu […]

A quick announcement, we will be partnering with Kinu to offer their grinders here in the US. Initially I am only able to get a few grinders of each style, but I’m hoping in the future that I will be able to secure a larger part of their next run. If we do run out […]

Fresh into the workshop is the German made Kinu M47. Wow what a grinder. I think I’m in love. This thing came completely zero’d with no burr rub.

Forges are now available to reserve for next year by pre-ordering. The deposit is $150 and will of course apply to your order when the run is complete. See here. I need at least 20 pre-orders to proceed with a production run, so I will wait until the end of January to send the full […]
The data many of you have been waiting for! Apologies it’s been so long before publishing, but I hope it helps: http://espressoforge.com/shot-temperatures/
Have you ever thought about actively heating the Forge? Dreamed about a permanent home for it on your counter-top? Want to use a E-61 portafilter instead of a lower ring? Here is a concept I’ve been thinking about. Pictured is only the “docking station” where you would thread the upper part of the Forge onto […]

After much experimentation, frustration, thought, testing and retesting, I have finally decided on the final method to seal the main tube to the top plate. Many failed experiments were tested before shipping, but the most reliable method at the time was used. The first 10 units had an o-ring in the channel, this worked on […]
The Mahlgut MG-1 is here! It’s got some good company with the HG-1 and Feldgrind in the background. Over the next couple weeks I plan to use the Mahlgut and put it through it’s paces here at the Forge lab. I think it will be a nice grinder for me. When I want to travel […]
