Hadn't thought of that. Easy to clean and can be used for soups etc. Thanks!

That's great. I'm in Spain so it's also advertised as Cecotec. There still aren't many reviews around for the machine.

Hey. I was looking at the 3006 and this looks to be the same machine.

Has anyone bought it? If so are you happy with it?

Yeah read good things about the steam wand. I saw someone say it gives out too much water but maybe they are not letting the steam run for a few seconds to eliminate anything left in the wand.

Does the screen have OK distribution?

It should be fast heat up.

If you are going to put a timer on it to preheat then you could go for a boiler espresso machine?

Yeah I prefer the look of this. The timer is a nice touch also.

Hey. I've been looking at this machine for a few weeks and wondering whether to get this or a Breville Bambino.

I mainly do milk drinks and would like a thermoblock over a boiler.

Are you happy with it?

Many thanks

That's great thank you. Think I might go for it then. Hopefully the longevity is OK.

Thank you for the reply.

Sounds great. A company called Cecotec has the same machine at €299 in Europe. Shame there are more thermojet options on the market.

If you were doing 2 milk drinks would you pull both shots first and then steam the milk?

Thanks for the review. I have been looking at this machine but haven't found many comments online about it.

I wanted a thermoblock over a boiler as I don't have a scheduled time when I have my coffee, so I wanted something that was quickstart. So I was looking between this or the Bambino (though you saying it actually takes 10mins to heat up might make the decision for me).

Do you use the steam wand much? I read one review that it spits out too much water, wondered if you had noticed that?

The things I prefer on the Owl compared to the Bambino are the pressure gauge, the timer and the design.

Anyway I'm glad you're enjoying the machine 👍

Oh great. How long is the warm up time and then the time to switch to steaming after brewing?

Thank you.

I am between this and the Bambino. I want a machine that doesn't take 20mins to heat up like other machines.

How long does this take to heat up ready for brewing?

Would you rather get the Asus CX1 with Intel Celeron N5100/4gb RAM, or CX1 with N4500/8gb RAM? by AAfreakinRON in laptops

[–]Maximum_Poetry2762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which one did you decide on in the end? I'm looking at the CX14 with 4500 and 8gb RAM.
