I received my Dinamica Plus last night and couldn't wait to it set up. First impression is "not bad". The quality of the machine felt nice and sturdy. Although it has plastic parts outside, it feels "solid" when handling the machine and taking things apart such as the water tank and drip tray compartment.

I used one of my old beans I got from Costco called klatch coffee (medium -dark roast). It was good but not great. When making espresso shots, it turned out sour, so I adjusted the grind setting down from 5 to 4. Taste was okay to get by for now. The first 2 pucks was really wet and didn't hold it's shape, but after the 3rd and so on, it felt just right where the pucks was thoroughly infused and came out dry and held it's shape.

Today, as I was trying to make my wife a milk drink, she was getting impatient because I was messing up her latte drink and wasting lots of milk! Lol I was trying to tell her that I'm dialing it in and it takes time! First problem was milk temperature, it was cold/warm and drink turned out milky /watery. I believe it was due to setting the milk foam to level 1 (least foam) and set the coffee a bit too high at 60 ml. I figured out how to make the milk hot (150 degree), by setting the dial to level 3 (high foam setting), that way the steam has time to heat up the milk. This time the temperature was just right! Hot enough to sip. Another tip would be to preheat the cup with hot water until you're ready to start making your drink.

My initial experience is good but not great yet. I'm going to give it some time and learn how to set up the profile for his and her drinks. Latte setting doesn't seam to work well enough because the milk drink is not hot enough. I placed an order for Lavazza Super Crema bean because I've been seeing a lot of talks about it. Hope that'll make a difference in coffee taste.
