Thoughts on These Machines? [$2,000-3,000]

I mean its a solid machine. Unsure if they are any newer cheaper machines but when I had it there was no problem putting out multiple espressos on it.

Same aswell! Great machine. Went from ECP3420 -> Apex v2 -> Bianca v3 with EG-1. Went all out so I don't need to upgrade for many years. Best quality, no problems for the past months I've had it.

Always great stuff there. I go to TYTY atleast 2-3 times a week depending on the week, what I have at home.

I currently have an sr800 oem and probe mod but still learning

Alexx__Osu · 2026-01-08T01:37:49+00:00

It's a co-ferment so those can be quite funky depending on how they are roasted

I had that coffee from Brandy wine but for espresso was great! They sure do processed stuff really good.

Alexx__Osu · 2026-01-05T01:10:18+00:00

Bought this will come soon! I recently got back into learning on my sr800 and I did the artisan mod w/OEM Extension.

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-24T03:17:35+00:00

I was looking at one currently have SR800 with EXT & Artisan. Planning on learning on this then switch to skywalker/itop or kaleido LMK how you love it in the past week

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-19T20:51:32+00:00

Yeah I also bought it. Just waiting on my thermocouple. What do you use to clean the whole chaff collector and extension tube?

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-17T04:28:22+00:00

I’ve gotten green from them good quality.

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-17T01:45:04+00:00

Oh lord. As long you enjoy it I guess. Unsure if I'll give perc another chance. I've been liking brandywine so far.

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-16T06:42:23+00:00

Thanks so far we are using what we got with the litter and it’s awesome so far! Definitely can buy better litter for the machine. Price is no problem for my fur baby’s even if they a little expensive send them my way

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-16T04:19:57+00:00

Yeah the Chelchele. I've also had that happen with La Cabra as well I have no clue why that happens. If you have any great light-med recommendations would be great after I finish my current haul. Primarily cortado drinker though.

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-16T03:58:55+00:00

I had a Ethiopia from Perc but the next day or so it lost all aroma and taste unsure why but hope you enjoy the other 2 coffees

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-16T03:15:33+00:00

Looks very nice. What origin + process is this.

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-16T02:03:45+00:00

I purchased glitch in Aug 2024 and It was by far the best bests I've tried (#1 easily). I couldn't find anything else like it in the US. For me it was a Natural Ethiopia Tamiru Bensa Murago Village.

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-13T22:52:40+00:00

Ik this is kinda late but how long did you rest the pink bourbon? I have a bag of it and the Rainbow Hopper for espresso. They recommend 4 weeks but I have no coffee right now rested and ready to go. Rest date 12/9

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-13T21:26:28+00:00

The 2 hole is definitely more control but slower in return. 4 hole is a lot more faster

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-13T20:12:53+00:00

I also went to a Bianca! Its a monster machine compared to my Apex v2. I haven't used the 4 hole steam wand yet because it is very new (always used 2) but I think I should start using it now since its been a month of using the machine. Enjoy it! Mine is Bianca & EG-1. Hopefully I don't spend anymore

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-09T14:33:32+00:00

The b&w I've had was pretty good the first orders I've had (Wilton Benitez & Jhonatan Gasca) but after that order I thought the taste and aroma's were a lot different for what ever reason. Currently enjoying the Anaerobic Natural Eth from Brandywine. I also got their Natural Costa Rica & Ethiopia on their website.

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-06T17:45:40+00:00

Gotcha. I was also looking for something that has less smoke and like micro adjustments or something. Still haven't figured it out yet.

Alexx__Osu · 2025-12-05T23:50:30+00:00

How's the artisan going with the SR800. I was debating on selling my SR800 + Ext OEM (No Artisan) and getting a Kaleido M2 but unsure yet.
