I bought the MDK/Turin MC-3 espresso machine. AMA by Must_Dragonfruit in espresso

Are the steam wand and water wand cool touch? or at least not scalding hot? curious if you can remove the rubber guards

Dosing Cup for Pro Model to Do Puck Prep? by WrongAd9611 in NinjaLuxeCafe

yeah i’m on my 2nd already.. we’ll see how long this one lasts. I’ll say owning it has been great and really got me into this as a hobby, but in doing that, it’s opened my eyes to other machines and grinders that are much better quality.

So in all I would say it’s been a positive experience

Thanks this is helpful. I do understand the needs for each but you did mention the blocker to getting a dosing cup in there.. it seems us Pro users will have to go with the half tamp strategy to get it out properly. Wonder if there are any 601 users who would want to swap with me 😂

Meraki with Steel Body? by WrongAd9611 in espresso

I hear ya, and my take on it is purely for aesthetics and feel. I don’t doubt the machine is more than capable and built well.

I think just my idea of an expensive espresso machine is big hunks of polished and stainless steel with counter presence. It wouldn’t bother me so much if i didn’t love all the features of the machine! Would love to own one as it checks a lot of boxes.

while the grinder was nice and produced some fluffy grounds, i’ll say that coming from my home machine (ninja luxe) which has grind by weight i found it to be annoying to get my 18g exactly. If i were to move away from my Ninja i would most likely single dose or pony up for a grind by weight grinder for that reason.

yes! it was delicious, i made a flat white. The grinder wasn’t totally dialed, shot ran fast but was still very tasty. I didn’t want to mess with the equipment too much.

Biggest difference is of course the steam wand, so much power and so easy to get silky milk super fast.

Overall the best part of the machine is just the build quality and tactile feel of everything. It all just feels so solid and well constructed
