Have you ever tried fresh roasted coffee there are fantastic flavor notes these are not added flavors they are the notes that one can detect when sipping/slurping coffee. I have been asked by many to roast and then add flavor to the beans I won't do that as the real flavor is so much more pleasing folks are missing out if all they try is canned crap.

Cinnamon, blueberries and lemon. Does anyone know what real coffee tastes like? You add all this BS and you have completely masked the flavour of the coffee.

that's a term used by many of us I guess because at some point somebody that drinks canned coffee called us because they felt that they could not tell the difference fresh roasted and ground coffee is so much more flavorful and we have the control over the roast my favorite is Ethiopian harrar at a cinnamon or just into city roast tastes like blueberries and lemon citrus. Yeah I can relate to the smoke when I first started out I roasted the beans in my gas oven even had a couple fires before I figured it out then went to popcorn poppers did a fair job but to small of an amount. Finally built my own drum roaster it can roast up to 7.5 pounds at a whack.
Still use a wok over a campfire when out camping it's fun and the smell brings in other campers who are curious about the smell then of course I share with them and make some new friends.

I didn't know what good coffee tasted like until I visited Italy some 40 years ago. I came home, bought an Olympia Cremina and a Rancillio and never looked back. For a while, I even contemplated roasting my own beans until I learned that my house would be filled with greasy smoke. I wouldn't characterize someone who knows what coffee should taste like as a coffee snob. Some of the piss water I've been served in restaurants is criminal.

it is but it sure did cost a pretty penny but I put the grinders through a lot of use some of the folks who buy coffee from me refuse to pick up a grinder and have me grind in bulk to me that defeats the purpose of fresh roasted coffee. I really like the Rancilio and if I were to recommend brands to look at for home roasting that would be at or near the top of the list, funny us coffee snobs are also camera enthusiast kind of goes hand in hand.

My Rancillio has been going for 9 years. The doser spring doesn't work, but the grinder just works and works. Your Mazzer is probably even better.

Give this a quick try go outside and take a couple different shots without the lens hood attached if you have a clear blue sky take a shot of it if the dark area still is showing I would have it checked out do you have a camera shop near you if so there may be someone there who could offer you a suggestion. sure hope you get it figured out the D7100 is a great camera if the problem is major the expense of the repair can pass what you paid for the camera. good luck and keep us posted.

Had one of them it sure did a good grind but it died 2 years in received a replacement and it died a year and a half in funny enough I replaced it with a mazzer super jolly heavy and expensive but in my opinion it is the best I have used so many grind settings it's mind boggling, it has never skipped a beat just keeps grinding away I do think the best is the old hand grinders I collect them and every now and then when I feel strong I will give one of those a go no heat build up that way.

The best burr grinder for home use is the Rancillio Rocky. The mechanism is professional grade; only the outside is plastic to save money over the pro model.

I would sure like to thank all the pro photogs out there that sell their obsolete cameras for a good price.

do you have the lens hood on when taking the shot or a light source that may be partially blocked

does it show on the photo if so it is dust or something on the sensor and will need a cleaning with a hand held rocket blower and possibly a wet clean, if it does not show on the photo it is most likely on the mirror or even on the eyepiece same thing just blow it of carefully, if on the outside of the eyepiece it is easy to wipe away.

Just today, i noticed that when i take a picture with my Nikon d7100 (through) the (viewfinder only) that there appears a dark spot on the upper lefthand corner of the picture. If i take a picture with the (screen monitor) feature, the dark spot does not appear. I've tried different lenses and it happens on each lens as well. What the heck??! Can someone suggest a solution to eliminate that dark spot? Thank you for any advise....

Beans are best ground in small batches when needed, not in larger quantities at the store. Unless of course they will be used within a few days.

burr grinder and a good one is a must for getting the full flavor from the variable, I am thinking of reopening Buzz Berries coffee I made some decent side money and supplied my habit. Thats a good press you mentioned worth a look for anyone wishing to purchase.

Check out Javapresse in Google. The have a variety of coffee making products. My son gave me a hand powered espresso maker a Christmas ago. I use it daily takes about 7 minutes start to finish. Makes really good coffee.
Also, burr grinders are more uniform in the grind
Try Peets coffe, Major Dickerson blend. Much better than Starbucks

Boy it sure does add to it when it's left out too long, ever tried the civet coffee I was sent a sample of a quarter pound a few years back from Royal Coffee Warehouse (I buy 2-5 sacks of different origins at a time) I did not care for it and the cost is outrageous same sort of taste as mold to me. My facorites are Ethiopian from the Harrar region, Timor, Peru.

I roast coffee and use one of these every day. I used to sell this press and other coffee related products of theirs, the flavors of the coffee varietals come to the forefront when using one with the correct temp water which is around 196 degrees. https://planetarydesign.com/ That star wars one is sure interesting.
