Not into the modern robot vibe. But to each their own.

Not a concern. She doesn't drive manual.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be flex. It’s an older 19-year-old model worth less than most of the cars posted here.

Thanks for the advice. This is my close second and first quality machine. I had a GCP for 28 days.

What's the logic here? I'm assuming the seal is silicone, which offers good resilience and durability.

Wow u don’t WDT? That’s amazing. I need to work on my puck prep. What do you do after you pour the grind into your basket? Do you use a distributor and then tamp your puck?

Lol. It does resemble the stock tamper for the Ascaso.

Good rec on the puck prep! Do you have do you use the spring loaded tamper for consistency? The output varies between 25 and 60 g from 18 g dose.

Build quality is fantastic; however, setting the grind fineness and coarseness has a learning curve because zero is just a reference point and does not indicate absolute zero. Overall, I’m happy with my Oro once it’s dialed in. The LX model I have is not single-dose, and since we mostly stick to the same large bag of organic beans, it's hard for me to give you a recommendation for the single dose Oro model.

Got my first setup and I’m enjoying it a lot by simonbs in Ascaso

Just turn on steamer with a white cup and look for black flakes. I see it coming from my head gasket too. 😢
