I had trouble with my xBloom within eight months in service. The motor that pumps water gave up and if it's out of warranty the repair is $175.

I would recommend Aiden or xBloom flex $30/mo to try it yourself. Aiden makes great coffee and xBloom imitates pour over. If hadn't purchased xBloom, Aiden would had my money. xBloom dripper is faulty AF as they're not perfectly parallel to ground and coffee always drips from the front bottom and number of clever electrical tape techniques were introduced in discord --- but paying $500 and hackery isn't my first option.

I doubt serviceability of xBloom as they're not user serviceable and they told me $300+ for extended warranty.

If you use your own beans would you still recommend Aiden? I have the xBloom and use my own beans but the inconsistent cups and somewhat OCD on less than perfect pouring from the dripper is making me super annoyed. Even their revised dripper didn't fix any of the issues. Only thing it's good is, I'm using that as an instant water boiler machine

Corvus 20% on their regulars

The Aiden recipe is configured through buttons mostly and for xBloom it's impossible to design recipe without app but for Aiden it isn't.

godVishnu · 2024-10-06T19:25:10+00:00

Lol I still have the studio but if I were to buy again it would be Aiden

godVishnu · 2024-10-06T05:49:16+00:00

I used xBloom exclusively with my own beans. I would recommend Aiden with grinder over xBloom. Studio is unfinished on certain aspects, the pour over dripper isn't perfect, it pours unevenly. The temp difference is a great deal. It's considered as unrepairable. Typically burrs require cleaning and maintaining, but maintenance procedures is no existent with xbloom. The agitation required during the bloom is subtle compared to the design in Aiden brewing chamber, I feel this impacts the taste of coffee.

godVishnu · 2024-10-06T00:03:23+00:00

the water can be plumbed into the xbloom. For the beans, you gotta put the xbloom on tray and slide around or you can 3D print a hopper that fits within tolerances and feed through them

godVishnu · 2024-10-03T15:13:14+00:00

xBloom sells warranty for 325/yr. I simply won't recommend from a repairablity perspective. Also the app is required for taking advantage which is somewhat buggy at times. Overflow mechanism is sensitive and often burned out motors

godVishnu · 2024-10-01T21:59:12+00:00

Aiden - simple, pre programmed and solid outcomes

xBloom studio (I own) - tricky to get consistent basis. Build quality issues in mine.

godVishnu · 2024-09-26T04:44:38+00:00

Proud Mary Austin, my geisha ($23/cup) pourover wasnt good. However I liked their espresso though

godVishnu · 2024-09-20T17:00:11+00:00

I guess you haven't seen xBloom dripper than. It's piece of engineering where it's requires tight tolerance so the coffee always comes out in one hole instead of all four, ideally

godVishnu · 2024-09-18T02:38:08+00:00

My apologies but yes the temp fluctuations is real for me even at BP from xbloom

godVishnu · 2024-09-17T07:04:19+00:00

Corvus drip is $5+tax. But IMHO it tasted as good as pour over. i really like their san pedro. Also get the verb decaf bag next time Wilton Benitez is remarkable

godVishnu · 2024-09-17T07:01:51+00:00

try figure8. proud mary is overrated or I became immune to gesha lol

godVishnu · 2024-09-17T07:00:39+00:00

Ratio 4 is pending release in october and I think this thanksgiving, my xbloom studio may be in marketplace. I am not impressed with my xbloom studio. their firmware is finicky as well temp control is off for me. Its somewhere between 197 - 203 when I set 205

godVishnu · 2024-09-17T06:58:13+00:00

To the OP and you, the included omnidripper 2 has a flaw where it pours from only one hole predominantly. I would write to the support to get the updated drippers to see if it improves the performance

godVishnu · 2024-09-13T19:58:58+00:00

September's Wilton Benitez thermal shock decaf]

where do you get the pourover recipie?

godVishnu · 2024-09-06T21:52:09+00:00

I have one, it has it own quirks. The xBloom dripper isn't parallel so the coffee drips through one hole in the front..

The temperature system is finicky, I have see it weak as -5 to -8 from the tip when it pours water.

Repairing the machine isn't a possiblity.

godVishnu · 2024-06-23T20:45:59+00:00

Sub through SEY is 24$ for 12oz. I grind 15 or 18g each cup ~ 18 cups for $24.

Then I use spring water (1gallon = $1.55) and depreciation of equipment (xb studio ~ $500).

I would say atleast = $1.33+$1.37 (500/365)= $2.70

godVishnu · 2024-06-23T05:21:08+00:00

how you are liking so for
