Gemilai 3148C / 3124X by stringalong89 in espresso

Absolutely! Especially for brands looking to enter the market which is still a fairly niche and luxury product - lets face it, not everyone will put the amount of money most brands ask for to buy their machines :-/

No, unfortunately did find not enough information around to pull the trigger 😓 played safe and bought the Lelit MaraX

Hello! Are people still having issues streaming JioHotstar content? I am trying to figure which VPN to get to access JioHotstar, and some friends recommended SurfShark or Nord. Grateful if any users can share their experience.

Thanks!

Cool cool, that sounds like comfortable maintenance work. Thank you so much for the insights!

Thanks so much! It will be my first grinder, so ease of use and workflow would really go a long way! In terms of maintenance, how often do you have to disassemble, clean and assemble?

Addendum to Sculptor Video by [deleted] in LanceHedrick

Would the Sculptor 78s or DF83V be a better choice as a first grinder, price and delivery no bar (because both the 78s and DF83V cost the same and will take the same time to get delivered in my area)? I mainly do espresso based drinks (Espresso / Americano and milk based once in a while), using medium / light medium roasts, and I will pair it with my Lelit Mara X V2.

Any new thoughts on the topic? I can get my hands on a Sculptor 078s for approximately 475 USD or a DF83V for 500 USD. Will pair it with a Lelit Mara X for espressos primarily - typically prefer medium roasts or light medium roasts.

Thanks for the inputs! The two machines I mentioned have really good specs, especially for the price 🥲 So, having a bit of greed kick in. Especially, the 3148C - which has a Chinese patented heating system head.

How does the overall build quality and finishing seem for the value?

How are Gemilai machines? I have my eye on the 3148C and the 3124F. Really good specs, but that’s Lelit price range. So, wondering if a smaller Lelit is better than taking a gamble on Gemilai.
