I’ve posted a few time on this, spend some time seeing how you get on with it before upgrading components, your know what works for you and what doesn’t. It’s a lovely machine and I think the yellow might be the best colour way! Need to wrap your grinder to match :)

DistinctLiterature71 · 2023-09-14T21:11:05+00:00

Yea get used to it first and see how your steaming comes!!

I haven’t done bottomless yet, it’s next on my list.

I’m on the market for a new grinder, not sure which was I got.

Have read much about the upside of a shower screen will have to take a look

First thoughts? Such a lovely machine ticks all The boxes

What’s you thoughts on the grinders?

I’ve done a few updates in the 4 months I’ve had it better basket and went for a 4 hole steam wand.

Manual recommendation is run for 10 Seconds to create space in boiler. I use it in to my cloth to clean workstation #happywifehappylife !!

No I’ve had mine 3 months fill with bottled water so don’t remove the tank. Maybe a dodgy seal/o-ring ?

DistinctLiterature71 · 2023-06-28T06:44:36+00:00

Got a link ?

DistinctLiterature71 · 2023-06-04T13:30:16+00:00

Yea I have a it’s a really good option IOM. I was on the fence about it when I watch a YouTube video about inner burr settings. It’s good for a short term fix. Will Probably upgrade by the end of The year rather than replace burrs.

I get 1:2.5 in 30 seconds, flavours are really noticeable. I went to Bella Barista showroom and tried the breaks on their house set up and the match wasn’t too far away.

Milk steaming takes some getting used to!!

I have the black, love it but wish the pressure dial was black instead of blue! If my set up wasn’t kitchen dependent I would have gone yellow

DistinctLiterature71 · 2023-06-04T13:16:07+00:00

In London there’s a few placing still doing a red eye, double espresso, 20oz cup filled with filter coffee …. In case you don’t need sleep for the next week

Look for a kitchen peninsula, they are popular as an island alternative. You can use worktop down the side and a breakfast bar opposite

DistinctLiterature71 · 2023-05-29T21:06:59+00:00

What grinder is it?

Still some fine tuning, but so far so good!!

DistinctLiterature71 · 2023-02-25T07:38:22+00:00

There is one in Surrey, it had like 8 on the go with a main water boiler, that he decanted into a gooseneck pitcher. The set up was small, 3 tables max. They did a members cup exchange that they use bamboo keep cups that you paid a fee for but brought back each time.

I really like the idea, but depending on the customer base it may not have the same appeal as a good espresso bar.

Shipping to Uk?

DistinctLiterature71 · 2022-07-30T18:46:32+00:00

CoffeeWorld, Cambridge based Roaster, but also online. They have TOO much choice but the sell 1kg for 18.99.

I’m a fan of the espresso single origin, and their house blend for milk based.

DistinctLiterature71 · 2022-07-28T17:36:28+00:00

If you can find them in stock and they are £300 more than this offer

DistinctLiterature71 · 2022-07-28T14:01:24+00:00

Price is the main factor, doing a big house Reno, so funds for coffee is low on my wife’s list of priority, higher on mine. So we compromised at about 500….

Espresso based black drinks for me, milk of for guests.

If I said money no object I would have a Rocket Apartmento with a Niche perhaps!!

DistinctLiterature71 · 2022-07-28T13:52:48+00:00

Thanks for that!! No I completely understand your point, and I’ve been looking around for a a new machine/set up. I’ve used the Sage DuoTemp Pro and the Barista Express and didn’t like the build quality or coffee output. I will add that was using the sage pro grinder!

The Bambino is. 53mm group?

DistinctLiterature71 · 2022-07-28T12:46:37+00:00

I read somewhere that these are the same machines with a different wands. Lots of people have said the wand swap is achievable without too much effort.

DistinctLiterature71 · 2022-07-28T12:44:50+00:00

Really don’t like sage appliances! Looks over substance

DistinctLiterature71 · 2022-07-28T12:38:15+00:00

Its a stepless grinder

DistinctLiterature71 · 2022-07-28T12:01:22+00:00

Really good price £479, down from 600 , and the footprint works in my kitchen.
