![FLAT BURR NICHE - Manufacturer Vs. Modification
Since the flat burr Niche Zero mod was released late last year the folks at Niche dropped their own official flat burr option, the Duo. So with that new addition to the market I of course had to change my approach to my final take on the modification, now including how the two compare, and I have to be honest, the differences are exactly what you may have guessed, but thats not where the story ends.

Single boiler espresso machines dont often get a lot of the glory, but theyre a staple for those just getting started their home barista journey, or those not wanting to spend a mint on a dual boiler. Either way the new MiiCoffee Apex is paving the way for future options, and putting the big names like the Gaggia Classic on notice.

![All Coffees, All Ways ft. Jon Runion | Over-Extracted | 05
In this episode of Over-Extracted we sit down with Jon Runion, the co-owner, roaster, and jack-of-all trades at Necessity Coffee in Encinitas, California. Jons coffee experience ranges many years and multiple states, and has since found himself settled in a cozy beach town and serving coffees the Arizona way.
Im sure youve got questions about that last statement, and of course that gets covered in-depth, as well as the mission behind the coffees chosen, menu design, his green buying and roasting philosophies, as well as their approach to serving all coffees in all ways.

![Vintage Espresso Machine Restoration | Olympia Cremina Project | 02
As we continue the the Year of the Lever theme in 2025, Im getting my sticky little barista paws dirty in a new series as I rebuild a vintage espresso machine: a 1977 Olympia Cremina.
Since this is the first installment of the series, well be taking a look at what we have, what we dont, and getting inside the machine to assess its possible gremlins, and what itll need to once again pull those legendary direct lever espresso shots.

![Managing The Lever for Better Espresso | Lever Diary | 02
Spring lever espresso machines have always had a standard pressure profile worthy of praise, but thats not where it ends. Even though you could let the spring do the work and more often than not produce well extracted, properly tasty espresso nine times out of ten, but we shouldnt sleep on its ability to manipulated to produce even better results in the cup.
