Time for a comparative review of espresso-focused grinders at this price point (we'll probably go both down and up from here in the future, and we'll do filter coffee-focused grinders too)
We'd love your thoughts on which grinders should be included in the comparison. As we've got a few alr...

Here's a short selection of some reasonably/very silly outtakes from the book video, including some of the marvelous Lance Hedrick. (Sorry the sound is a bit all over the place)

The book publishes on September 15th in most places (UK, Europe etc), and on Oct...

Hey folks! Here's an update on the latest winners from Gleam and there's also a new link at the bottom of this post for the zero bypass brewers from my latest video.
I'm so sorry for the short notice on this one, but I'll be doing a short livestream with a few updates at the start and some Q&As after starting in about 30 minutes. (3.30pm UK time). It'll be probably 30-45 minutes long. Again - I'm sorry about the short notice!
