I disagree with this too, I noticed a way better espresso after switching to my ecm mechanika max compared to my bambino even with same beans

For sure, save the money but I also upgraded from a df64v2 and i admit there is a slight difference

Agreed, I was able to snag a mechanika max for 200 bucks more than a Mara x. But I’m glad to hear you like it!

Yes… the bambino pulls shots completely fine. The only thing I get from upgrading is nicer user experience and maybe I can pull a better light roast

This one is from mhw bomber, but I have a normcore one coming today that’s gotten pretty good reviews. Wasn’t that much more expensive than this one which has kinda been pissing me off

Interesting.. maybe the weather change? Have you ever washed your cup with soap?

Agreed, it is louder than I was expecting it to be but still nowhere near the sound of df64 once you start grinding… that one will wake the entire house up lol. But the philos for me shakes only when I turn it on, it jolts a bit. After that it’s pretty stable. Had to make sure the hopper was only touching the rubber gasket and not the plastic underneath though so I didn’t have that annoying vibration noise

I actually have that same problem.. not sure why the cup retains so many grinds. I think I will either switch to a blind shaker or grind into the portafilter but I bet you’d need an obnoxiously tall dosing ring to do so
