There is supposed to be a new release of Artisan available for download (1.4.0). Are you using that new version to run the hottop?
I love to see stuff be rebuilt instead of thrown out. Well done!This morning's latte... courtesy of a Cremina 67 built in 1977 and a Macap M4 ... using Malabar Gold ground very fine, twenty five second pulls. Was gifted the Cremina 67 thirty years ago, never out of the box, new. Had it overhauled up in NW Idaho by a master technician about four years ago. Coupled with the M4 grinder, exquisite espresso. Going back to Redbird Espresso next five pound order.

Agreed. While I am a big proponent of freshly roasted coffee. I find that a month old roast or even six weeks old can be very good. As long as it is capable of being brewed as espresso it is good for other methods as well in my experience.Another Dark City order.

Locomotive
Extra Butter
3 lbs of coffee. Fresh roasted and about for the cost of going to $tarbucks a dozen times.
I realize it will not be as fresh roasted by the time I finish it. It will still be very very good to the last drop.
