The Kruve Propel is the well deserved defacto standard when it comes to espresso cups for tasting and evaluation. But they are big, and fragile.
Kinto of Japan has hit the market with several double walled glass cups that could bring the fight to Kruve. We're evaluating them for CoffeeGeek soon.

Another beastie on the review bench for a Snapshot Review on CoffeeGeek: the Flair Wizard, the nifty milk steaming solution they have for their lever machines, that works on all sorts of heat sources, including some quirky Asian-sourced butane burners we bought for the task. Full Review coming soon!

I am absolutely gutted by the news of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle.
I'm Gen-X, and Reiner was the creator of the absolute finest films of my lifehood. I still think Princess Bride is the most perfect movie ever made.
This is so sad. RIP Rob and Michelle. You will be missed, dearly.

It is BACK. IMO, the best deal ever on an espresso machine: the Breville Infuser, sold only on Amazon in the USA, is back at that magical $399 price point for the early Black Friday sale.

Amazon dropped a bunch of Black Friday deals early, including 30% off Technivorms, lowest prices of the year on 1Zpresso grinders, Timemore, and the lowest price ever on the Baratza Encore Grinder.

This remains one of my favourite photos taken in 2025, at least where coffee gear is concerned. I spent a lot of time staging this too. It was "inspired" by a previous manual grinder photo I took for another review (Knock Aergrind, second pic).

Yeah, I knew I had one of these buried deep in one of the coffee gear boxes in the basement. I bought this on eBay, probably 20 years ago now. Still has original spoons, cups and manual. Brews horrible espresso. @jameshoffmann.bsky.social would know.
