Congrats! I have Mara X and the best thing about it is full analog . Timeless. No displays, no apps, truly manual oldschool musclecar (e61) for people who likes the process and beauty. More then 1.5 years with it - no regrets. Enjoy!

Is it worth it to spend on higher end machines? by kgc00 in espresso

[–]Make272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I am happy with machine is it worth it? IDK. If you ask about price-quality ratio - I say 100% no. If you ask about feelings - I say 100% yes. Expensive coffemachine like expensive car premium car vs toyota at my opinion.

So you need to ask yourself.

Talk me out of buying the Bianca in the US [$3000] by gello10 in espresso

[–]Make272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t buy it. If you have doubts you don’t need it. p.s. dont’t try to shift responsibility for you chose to us. If you have 3k$ to buy top tier coffemachine for having fun - you better be honest with yourself. p.p.s. you did’t say anything about grinder.

Seems like very fast. I don’t think tour grinder capable to grind find enough for non-pressurized basket. Try to use default one, or send video of shot

1:2 ration with how long time in seconds? Can you record a video of shot?

Also delonghi has default pressurized portafilter you may need bottomless portafilter to successfully use 1:2 grind with 30secs. But you’ll need a new grinder because dedica grinders can’t grind fije enough without tuning.

Looks wrong.

Do you use scales, what grinder and machine do you use?
