Yes, it can only do pour over.

Kin Grinder has this issue..I don't think there is a solution to it. The best way to counter this is to find the zero (when the crank doesn't move) and count the number of clicks that grind good for you.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore Thank you for the answer. Which grinder do you think is best under $300? Electric preferably. Also, one with less aluminum. I'd appreciate your suggestion.

Definitely CRM3145.

You're welcome!

I have never encountered this issue before. Check if the springs are still in good shape. Your is the gen 1 right?

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore thanks for the reply! Mine is also a Gen2. I've tried disassembling the grinder to clean it, tightening the screws holding burrs and trying different burr alignments, but the problem still persists.

@buffamous that's wierd. It shouldn't happen. If it's under warranty you should get the dealer to check for you.

Possible to send me a video when it move and also a video when it is disassembled so that I can take a look at it. You can send the video link if you do an upload as I believe you cannot send a very large file via email.

As an authorised dealer for the df64 model, I wouldn't recommend it. For safety reason.

A gentle touch between the burrs is fine as long as it's not rubbing each other for a prolonged period of time and the sound when the burrs touches should be just chirping and not screeching.

Not for the Kin grinder at the moment.

That's weird. If he is the authorised dealer, he should have the spare parts from the factory.

I guess you have to find the actual authorised dealer.

With a scale below, once it hit the volume u want u can just remove the cup away.

Hi Gwen!

Thank you!

Well, the time u see the volume and when u actually pressed it, there will be a lag. So to make it at 40ml, you have to stop it, maybe around 36

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore we returned our ascaso to the dealer because we are not getting conssitent shots. 18g in 36out in 30seconds. We programmed it and still getting inconsistent shots. Machine automatically stops at 18g 45out 28seconds, 18g in, 40g out in 30seconds. And so on… how to prevent this? Btw dealer said it is NORMAL?

@seiyonblem volumetric machine can never produce 40ml if you set it to 40ml. It's is always plus and minus 5 to 10ml.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore meaning… if im going to use programmed shots i wont be able to get consistent shots? Are volumetric machine really like this?

@seiyonblem it is. Considering asking for 40ml and u r getting 44ml is already reasonably good.

@seiyonblem, let's say you want to extract 40ml. A volumetric based espresso machine will try to give you near 40ml (plus minus 5ml, usually more), but the time of extraction is not fixed. This will depend on whether your grind and tamping are consistent. If you grind coarser, then your extraction time will be shorter. If you grind finer than initial extraction setting, then it will take longer to extract 40ml. The inconsistency in volume extracted also depends on the electronic valve that start and stop the water from flowing. There is nothing wrong with your machine which extract more or less than 40ml as there are just too many factors affecting it. What the machine is trying it's best to do is to give you as close to the volume you set by varying the time.

@@CaffeMartellaSingaporethank you very much

I agree!

We sell them.

Nope. Nothing plastic, except on the steam wand as a holder.

Argos will be superior because of its PID control of temperature and 58mm basket.

As said by OP, Argos is doing a better job at temperature control. However, Cafelat Robot do extremely good espresso as it is temperature does drop way less than others lever machines (without boiler and PID of course). Especially true with medium/ dark coffee. As long you have a capable grinder (mine is a Niche Zero), you can't be wrong with either machine. I do have an ECM Classika (single boiler) and will get soon a Cafelat Robot because of its simplicity (no need to pre-heat for 20 or 30 minutes like most E61 machines), very good espresso, minimal maintenance. I will use the Robot for my daily shoots (2) and will keep the ECM for when I do need to shoot several espresso in a short time, like for 6 or more people. Still, getting a second basket for the Robot (around 50$) can allow to produce many espresso quite rapidly, together with the ECM if you want to reduce coffee time production and let people be introduced with both machines. Quite entertaining for those not yet in the wonderful world of espresso :) PS : I never do any coffee latte so no need of steam, hence the single boiler choice for ECM

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore smaller basket are actually better

@lextr3110 no really as precision baskets are usually tuned to the amount of coffee the baskets can contain. And of course I am referring to double basket and not single shot basket as they are differently shaped. I always prefer the ridgeless one.

This recipe is only for filtered coffee and is not advisable for use in a boiler. My recommendation is to use it on espresso that is already extracted. From my testing, you don't need the water to be mineralised during extraction. It's good also when drip directly on espresso.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore Won't dimineralized water or RO water create corosion in the boilers? There is another recipe for espresso which is the Dr Pavlis method. google it. thanks for the reply :)

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore If you used dimineralized water it will corode the boilers right? There is the Robert Pavlis water recipe that is good for the Espresso machine and will never need to descale. Do a search on it.

Well, thank you!

Do you have an online shop I can order from or?

@wanzacharywanisa5762 currently our blind shaker is out of stock. But you can visit www.speedy3dcreations.com

Cut the aussie plug off and buy a UK 3 prin plug from any hardware store. It is just 3 wires to connect, and they are all.colour coded. Red/brown for live wire, blue for neutral and green/yellow for earth.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore i’m experienceing a issue with my Barista Pro at the moment, not so sure if changing. The plug will help. The machine will run for a couple of sec and then it fizzle out, when pulling a shot, when using the hot water or the steam… it just fizzles out

@chinthiamtay8791 nah, that is not the issue with the plug. It's a prominent issue with all the thermal jet models, especially with the barista pro. That's is also the main reason for me to move away from any model that uses thermal jet technology. I would rather get the barista express, which uses thermal block, and don't mind waiting 2 to 3 minutes for the machine to heat up. I really don't need the machine to be ready in 3 seconds.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore i see, would this be costly to repair u think?

@chinthiamtay8791 Breville is very smart at that as it's a proprietary parts and you can't buy from anywhere except from them. Price won't be cheap once your warranty expires. But really, breville is not the only company that does that, of course.

I use coconnut in my flair 58. And been using olive oil before. Works great and less than a drop is enough.

@@elliotmane8577 nice thx, not sure why they don't explain to people that you can use normal oil instead of silicone based ones..

Hi I can't speak Behasa Melayu. Sorry my friends. But I think you are asking for Gemilai CRM 3149. Soon I will be doing some videos on this machine.

Let me make a step by step guide!

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore that would be great thank you so much.😊

Hi thanks for sharing and it's greatly appreciated.

Hi bro. The CRM3145 is doing really well. Surviving on loan to a breakfast cafe for 2 months. Operating 8 hours a day and 7 days a week. Going strong still.

Bambino plus is not on the same level as the CRM3145. 3145 is better. 58mm size portafiler, dual boiler system ( thermal block with boiler), auto milk frothing, etc...just to name a few.

Can email to me at [email protected]

I believe so.

Usually I stream on Singapore time around 9am

Hi Gwen!

Also.if you could do how to troubleshoot hand grinder would be great

Can you elaborate a bit more about what you mean by troubleshooting hand grinder? I will try to be more concise but this is my style of doing video. I don't just shoot the start and end. But thanks for your advice I will definitely think about it.

​@@CaffeMartellaSingapore 1. How to maintain hand grinder? Need to clean oil coffee residue? 2. How to check when grinder burr require to replace? 3. How to check grinder alignment setting is correct?

It's not really machine dependant. All makes great espresso. You need reasonably fresh coffee beans and a good grinder.

Oh yes. I love the Kenya beans in both darker roast as well as lighter roasts. It's a very versatile beans. Taste wise, it's clean and sweet with vanilla aroma.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore thankyou ,am from kenya where i personally grow coffee ,i love singapore. any platform contaact maybe i can reach you?
