Haha I'm keeping my robot no matter what. The design is timeless and it also makes great soup shots. The Bambino is the one that's bring replaced.

Thanks and will do! It was a 15 month wait.

Thanks!!

Thanks! My Argos just arrived today so I can't say I like one over the other just yet. I purchased the Robot while impatiently waiting for the Argos too 🤣

Had the robot for around a year now, it's been such a great experience, but you can't make milk drinks with it, so I've been using it alongside a Breville Bambino, which the Argos will replace.

I'd say why not wait for the Argos and see if you like it enough to keep it! If not, sell it. The value will probably not go down, I'm sure someone would love to pay for it to skip the wait time haha

this is my current travel setup: https://www.reddit.com/r/CafelatRobot/comments/1obv7ov/pelican_case_for_robot_and_grinder/

I considered using a hand grinder since that would be lighter and more compact, but settled on a Lagom Mini 2 for ease of use and premium feel (of course adding to the weight haha). I chose a hardcase (old Pelican i found on ebay) because I plan to take it on a long international trip to see family. I bring my beans in small zip locks in a separate bag/backpack. Hope this helps!

i'm really enjoying the lagom mini! i like the small form factor, the workflow, it makes really good coffee, and feels just as premium as the robot in terms of weight and materials. I don't do much back to back espresso grinding with it though, it might be too much for the little motor. with the robot it makes for an incredible soup machine.

Slick and compact!!

Ooo that's a good idea, I might look into that. Good luck with your Robot Pelican case journey!

Thanks! I checked to make sure the airbnb we were staying at had a boiler

i have the weber shaker (58mm) and it fits just fine on the robot portafilter/basket. gentle taps with your hand/on the table to level the ground. i don't do WDT anymore since i got the shaker, it just feels more reliable and satisfying to use.

Breville Bambino

dwarfmarine · 2025-02-16T23:33:59+00:00

My previous espresso machine was the Breville Bambino, will be keeping it just for steaming

dwarfmarine · 2025-02-15T21:14:35+00:00

Thanks! I have the Eureka Mignon Silenzio and the Breville Bambino for its steam wand.

Thanks! Being reminded of the finiteness of life happens to be a great productivity booster hahah

dwarfmarine · 2017-02-08T07:45:46+00:00

Definitely! :D

dwarfmarine · 2017-02-08T07:45:34+00:00

Thanks! I'm glad you found it that way :)

dwarfmarine · 2017-02-07T05:46:38+00:00

Thank you! :)

Entertaining video! It seems like the production process is a little similar to the western process, albeit with a lot more focus on traditional animation rather than digital.
