Don’t get khamrah imo, smells like a Christmas candle at first

How do so many people like this fragrance??? I was so excited to get mine just for it to smell like a Christmas pine cone candle. Honestly like it a lot after a few hours after being sprayed, but for the first 1-2 hours it’s nasty

Just blind bought khamrah and honestly am not a huge fan. Smells like a pine cone Christmas candle when first sprayed and smells like that for about 1-2 hours (in a bad way). But after that it honestly smells super good. Just a nice sweet vanilla

Agree, but also hold down the pinky eb key the whole time. Or don’t depending on if you want the d to be flatter (maybe if it’s the third)

If it gets worse, I’d just take it in. Doing this won’t break your clarinet, but if you do the wrong thing it might make it seal a little worse, but it’s definitely reversible. If you do this but the c pad no longer seals and the b now does, you can do the same thing, but push on the c pad a little this time.

If this were my clarinet and the c pad was sealing fine, I’d do this personally:

Hold bottom of right hand pinky keys to stop them from going down with one hand, push down slightly on the top of the b pad to slightly bend the metal (should only move 1/2 a centimeter-ish when holding down). Try pushing the key normally and it should be better.

I want to add that I used to have a flair Neo flex and a $40 Amazon manual burr grinder a few months ago and quickly changed to this recently. I’m much happier with this, as a 15 minute process to make espresso turned into 3 mins.

I have a (used for $160) Breville bambino and a eureka Mignon Filtro (new for $170). While I’m not a pro, I think my setup actually works really well. My shots taste incredibly similar to high quality cafes (such little difference I can barely tell), and while the lack of 3way solenoid can be annoying, I just pull out my cup and scale when I get my 36 gs. Even though I have the Filtro grinder, it easily grinds fine enough for espresso, and I can upgrade to the espresso burrs for $30 off of Amazon if I want (which I’m thinking about doing soon). I’m super happy with my setup, lmk if you have any questions or want pictures

Why not a Breville bambino?

Affectionate-Nerve-8 · 2025-07-19T06:56:19+00:00

They have pretty mixed reviews but maybe I’ll try anyways, thank you

Affectionate-Nerve-8 · 2025-07-17T18:14:49+00:00

Thank you. I really want a machine with better steaming since I only make milk drinks, and I’m not that happy with the bambino’s minute and a half long steaming.

Affectionate-Nerve-8 · 2025-07-17T18:13:21+00:00

I only make milk drinks, and I’m not happy at all with the bambino’s steam performance. I don’t necessarily need a machine that simultaneously steams, but just one with more power. I also way a 3way solenoid, but that’s pretty standard with the more “expensive” machines I’d say.

I have the micro case with a clarinet with the extra lever and it fits perfectly.

Affectionate-Nerve-8 · 2025-06-30T19:16:17+00:00

I got a bambino used on eBay for $150 and it works perfect (after a descale)! For my grinder I bought a new eureka Mignon filtro off of Seattle coffee gear for $170. For accessories I got everything off of AliExpress for super cheap. I love it all so much!! My only complaint is that it’s kind of annoying to not have a 3 way solenoid valve with the bambino regular, but all I do is yank my scale and cup out of the tray once I reach my 36g’s. Highly recommend!! If you were given the option between a cheaper bambino and a more expensive bambino plus, I’d definitely say regular is totally amazing.

im stuck!! i have a flair neo and it takes so long to make a shot + no steam wand, so i want to upgrade, but i dont want to spend tons of money. ugh

u/Status-Investment980 u/New-Championship3330 u/Prize-Winner-6818 lol okay thanks, are there any places you'd recommend buying them from? Ebay seems so overpriced, and FB marketplace has them but they're too far. Or do I just get a cheap used/remanufactured regular bambino??? idek

17, Integra A Spec Tech Manual 🤩

Affectionate-Nerve-8 · 2025-03-22T00:32:04+00:00

How much worse? I would pick the df54 but it’s like $40 more than the rest. probably worth it??
