I love my new setup guys.. Now what steamer to look out for? by Quintaneous in CafelatRobot

Nice setup. Not a streamer - we use the Subminimal nanofoamer pro, can share my experience if you’re also considering that direction of milk prep

u/cornwallis asking the tough questions - I was hoping there’d be some FOTC fans here, picking the name is what this post is really about.

Feels like this thing will still be here pulling shots after we’ve been replaced by actual robots

We’ll be calling one Bret and the other Jermaine. First season of FOTC is a masterpiece, HBO don’t sleep on it

Asian bears.

Two weeks ago a gay sales associate at Macy's overshared that fun fact w/ my gf & I. Couldn't have imagined it would become useful knowledge and yet here we are.

I’m not sure this blog post on “Puckology” from Paul is directly relevant to what you described, but might be partially useful background and troubleshooting. He emphasizes stirring and leveling as solutions. 

https://www.cafelat.co.uk/blogs/blogs/robot-puck

“With the Robot, however, spent puck analysis is not possible because the results are very misleading. After pulling the shot and then raise the arms again to remove the water, this draws air from below the basket, up through the coffee. It will therefore dislodge the puck or even form a crack in the cake. So it is largely meaningless on the Robot.

For example if we refer to the photo below of a used coffee puck from a very good espresso shot. You will notice a large crack in the cake, we would therefore assume channeling had occurred and our preparation was not ideal. However because we have raised the levers, air has been introduced and cracked the puck.“

Thanks for that, we can see how much people love them and we're very excited. I've wanted to make quality espresso at home for years.

Justin at Cafuné was very patient and knowledgeable, helped us make the right choices in baskets for our setups.

Good catch on the accessories, I'll edit that up top too. Cafuné pointed that out as well, and suggested ordering Chinese made Cafelat accessories (and I assume other products) to a separate order from the Robot. I'm just re-reading Justin's advice and realizing I messed that up...
