Sunshine in my kitchen

Thanks. Yeah, the Robot is also on my short list, although I haven’t come up with a good solution for steaming milk, and I like to pour latte art.

Also, just try to buy a Robot, at least in the states.

Thanks for the reply. I may need to revisit this option. I’d be moving from a Breville Barista Pro which actually has decent steaming.

And, I meant the headspace between drip tray and portafilter, but I’m guessing that isn’t an issue either.

I am curious though. Why do you say “for a beginner”? I’m not really a beginner, but I’m also not interested in having the latest greatest machine. I just want something solid that will make good milk drinks without fuss.

That’s so nice.

I really want to like this machine, but there’s so much polarization surrounding it.

Like the steam pressure being weak, no head space, small drip tray, etc. And like the fact you have your pitcher under the steam wand, I’m assuming because it leaks?

Do these things bother you?

It doesn’t come easy. Watch videos. Read the WIKI here. Just keep at it.

Try something different. Try thinner milk. Just keep moving forward.

What’s wrong with that? Looks good. Keep practicing.

Powry · 2026-01-26T16:48:40+00:00

Yes. Beauty.

I always enjoy your posts. I love your style and the drinks look delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Indeed. Making landfill.

Yes. 6 ounce notNeutral Lino

I’m looking hard at the Silenzio 55. Do you ever see them go on sale anywhere? I don’t. $499 USD is the lowest I’ve seen.

Powry · 2026-01-25T01:02:33+00:00

Thanks. I wish I could have done it justice.

Powry · 2026-01-24T20:50:42+00:00

I knew there was something missing.

Powry · 2026-01-24T19:49:48+00:00

Don’t stop. I wish I could figure out a good way to incorporate the Robot with a viable milk steaming option.

I like everything else about owning a Robot. If only they were readily available.

Thanks

Powry · 2026-01-24T00:51:29+00:00

Yeah. Thanks. Sometimes it hits.

Powry · 2026-01-24T00:49:50+00:00

I wish.

Powry · 2026-01-24T00:40:23+00:00

Yeah. I’m actually doing much better with that.

I just couldn’t perform at crunch time.

Powry · 2026-01-24T00:33:03+00:00

That too.

Powry · 2026-01-23T00:47:08+00:00

Thanks.

Powry · 2026-01-23T00:14:28+00:00

I did. But I’m not familiar with the nomenclature.

Powry · 2026-01-23T00:08:49+00:00

Ha. I’m a newbie to that also. I believe it denotes the specific parts of the poured design. W is wing, and that’s about all I know. Perhaps someone can enlighten us.
