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. Loading up beans they just crunched up inside, so I do believe that it’s a true zero. Materials are all stainless seemingly, hefty in the hand. Locking […]
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: https://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 […]
Last of the pre-order queue went out today! You should have all gotten a tracking number, if not please email me at info@espressoforge.com and I’ll send you a link. New orders won’t have a queue to wait in, but could be up to a week of build time depending on my schedule and other orders […]
Forges are shipping out daily. They are still on pre-order status until I have fully caught up on all pre-orders. As of today, 15 units have shipped with another 37 to go. I’m hoping by the 1st or so to have caught up on all pre-orders. Thank you all for your patience.
Exciting time! I have just received the parts today. Build time will be a little longer than I had hoped, there is a single burr still left on the lower rings that prevents perfect threading, so I need to just add the step of removing that. This shouldn’t add much time, but it is something […]
