We've looked long and hard for a scale that we can recommend for our avid manual brewing friends. The scale needed to have a high weight capacity, fast response time and precision calculations, and the ability to disable the auto-off feature to ensure the scale would not shut off mid-brew. The Jennings CJ4000 is the first scale we have offered that meets all of these requirements. With a 4000 gram capacity, accuracy to .5 gram, and the ability to disable the auto-off feature, the Jennings scale is the perfect companion to manual brewing.

For most companies it's hard to find motivation for pushing out new products if you find yourself on top already. This is not, however, the case with La Marzocco. The Italian based espresso machine manufacturer continues to push the envelop when it comes to innovations in espresso machine technology. The newest line from La Marzocco continues their progression in the specific areas of temperature stability and pressure profiling. We've discussed the Strada Electronic Paddle version in detail in our Strada EP blog post and listing for the 2 Group Strada EP. The Strada Mechanical Paddle employs technology similar to the Mechanical Paddles on other La Marzocco models but with a few new features including individual pressure gauges, digital PID control, and dedicated group boilers.

Small, lightweight, and portable, the Skerton is the ideal hand grinder for the traveling coffee enthusiast, or the home enthusiast on a limited budget. The Skerton employs adjustable conical ceramic burrs for grinding any of the wide range of grinds employed in today’s coffee market. It can easily handle anything from fine espresso to a coarse French Press setting. The Skerton’s detachable 100 gr. glass jar is perfect for collecting the grounds, and in combination with the plastic screw-on lid (included in order) can even double as a storage unit for whole beans on those long trips. After grinding is finished, cleaning the Skerton is as easy as placing the unit in the dishwasher since the entire grinder is dishwasher safe. Whether you desire a quality, handy grinder for the road or enjoy the fine art of manual coffee preparation, the Hario Skerton is the ideal candidate. For an even more portable hand grinder from Hario, check out the Mini Mill (for a more detailed comparison of the two grinders, check out this blog post: Hario Skerton vs. Mini Mill).
Alright, somewhat frustrating...
This is a decent enough kettle. However, the temperature control isn't quite as accurate as I'd hoped, and Pino's customer service isn't the best. It features a 90-day limited warranty (which excludes the cost of shipping to & from their facility). My kettle came with a slow leak between the base and main part of the kettle, which I noticed within a few days of acquiring it.
Despite the skimpy warranty, I thought there was a good chance that after they realized the situation was an obvious manufacturing defect they might cover the shipping to get the kettle repaired anyway. When I asked if they would, the fellow from Pino replied a bit rudely, "No, we don't cover the costs of shipping. Just like when you buy something defective from a store in town & return it, you don't ask them to cover the costs of driving it back to the store." That's a different situation for a number of reasons that are obvious. So the kettle actually wound up costing me $13 more (in shipping for a warranty repair), and it took a month after receiving the defective kettle to actually get a working one. If you have a problem with Pino's products, expect to pay for it yourself.
As far as the temp. accuracy goes, the kettle significantly overshoots the target temperature (by around 7-10 degrees depending on where you set the temp) upon first heating & reheating. It's more accurate to say it floats +/- 10-degrees around a set temperature than actually maintains the set temperature. This is less of a problem when there's a lot of water in the kettle, but still inconvenient.
All in all, if I had known this would be my experience with Pino and their kettle, I would have opted for the Bonavita variable temperature kettle instead. So it goes.
It turns out that this product is awful
In addition to the problems I noted in my original review, my kettle just died today (just a few weeks outside the 90 day warranty). It gave off a burning plastic smell, and stopped heating. I opened the bottom of the kettle and one of the electrical cords had burned through the other. My experience with this product is awful, and my experience getting any help from Pino isn't much better. I suggest getting one of the Bonavita variable temperature electric kettle. I haven't tried it yet, but it has to be better than this junk.
