I like Rave beans, I tend to buy their blends: Italian job, signature blend and Fudge blend being my favourites
I started with an Aeropress, but now have a Fracino Cherub -it’s an old semi automatic mc so can’t be arzed during the week

My Dualit milk steamer does that -it’s orange warning has come on this week, so it won’t be long before it locks me out….winds me right up

It's nice to have nice problems
artisan coffee roasters often source from poor / 3rd world countries; Ethiopia, Costa, Sumatra, Guatemala etc
So first world problems help support 3rd world economies….although I doubt they get paid much
No. Plenty info on the net.
Grind amount and fine ness once set should push the meter hand to about 12.00
Bean freshness plays a part
As does the elevation the bean comes from
M&S coffee beans are good
i was buying large bags of bean, now smaller packers that cost £4 or £5.00
Starbucks Gold blend bean on the Sage produced far better coffee than shop browed.

All these different blends of beans in the supermarket yet if you go into Costa/ Starbucks/café Nero etc, they use just one type of blend for every coffee. I think it’s more the process than the bean that gives the flavour.
I’ve given up buying different blends of bean capsules for my Nespresso machine and after trying many different non-Nespessso pods, I’ve settled on the Lidl Arabica ones for my ristretto, espresso, lungo, flat white, latte, cappuccino, macchiato etc etc £2.69 for 20.

Use tha nozzle couple of times. It starts spraying water, then steam. was Not impressed, easier with microwave option.
Someone said roasters source cheap coffee bean. Some that I have bought over the years were damn fine coffee bean.

Can anyone make a leaf art with the milk? Mine look like palm leaves at best.
What size jug are you using, I don’t find the wand a problem if you are using a smaller metal jug… I don’t like using a mug.
The sage can produce good micro foam, but it takes practise.
As Notch had said, Rave coffee is good, fresh beans make a difference, and grind when you need them, not having ground coffee sat around.
I’m going to have to learn - I had this leaf art this morning from a coffee kiosk near Stratford International station. I didn’t even see him do it.

My Sage machine says you have to use the metal jug. If you look where the jug stands, there is a temperature sensor that will only work with the metal jug and not a cup.
