We were also surprised but this year they were not at the convention, they had their own showroom somewhere in town and we didn’t have time to check it out

😅😂 yeah that wouldn’t surprise me 😅 That is kind of why I like La Marzocco. They are more about engineering and mechanical maschines withofut too much technology. Just like honda or Yamaha for motorcycles 😛

@@Ridethecoffeebean ... and don't forget, the Olympia Cremina. Still the king.

Yeahs single boilers seem to be coming back now with new technology that improves performance.

Thanks for that feedback. Yeah it was a lot going on and we thought we had filmed the machines, but most of the footage wasn’t great. But we have learned a lot so next year it’ll be better 😅🤞😛

@@DJ_BROBOT thank you for watching 😊 we have more videos about the event coming up in the next few weeks with some interesting coffee equipment !

You can make a decent espresso at home too, But making a really good one is hard without proper equipment. There are lots of smaller and cheaper machines that are fine for most people, but the exceptional espressos you kind of need a great maschine. And those are hard to find under 3000€ 😅

@@Ridethecoffeebean ouch! 3000 buys me a lot of cafe ☕️!

@@teneretraveller8980 there are plenty of options that are significantly cheaper. My entry was $1000. But one of the most well known and respected machines is the Gaggia Classic and is $500. You can go even cheaper looking at manual lever options from Flair. The big problem honestly comes from the fact that you also need an exceptional grinder. The grinder is going to have a bigger overall impact to what you get in your cup, the machine should kind of be invisible and have the features you need/want.

IMO, a great home setup is still expensive, but << $1000, is mostly home-reparable, and will last basically forever. I use a Cafelat Robot, an electric kettle that keeps water at boiling, and a 1zPresso hand grinder. I am just as happy with it as I was with my commercial machine and grinder that was nearly 10x the price. It doesn't steam milk, but if that's ok with you, it is hard to beat.

According to the guy it is the metal processing, and the fact that the burrs in each grinder is manually calibrated.

That’s great, thank you!!

Hehe I wasn’t arguing with her, I was genuinely confused and was trying to understand what she actually meant. And I started thinking about how terminology is used. Because in Italy I have heard many people describe lemon as bitter, and the way she said that lighter coffees are more bitter and compared it to a lemon really confused me because I would say the opposite. So Was it a mixup on her part of what bitter and acidic means? Or was it a cultural way of describing it that so don’t understand. I absolutely do not think I am smart. Quite the opposite. But ai am curious and when I don’t understand something I keep asking questions to get a clarification. Why is what I am used to wrong?

@@Ridethecoffeebean indeed lemon has a bitter taste this is common sense I don't know how this is confusing for you bitter not salty the definition of bitter is the taste sensation that is peculiarly acrid, astringent, and often disagreeable and is characteristic of citrus peels, unsweetened cocoa, black coffee And its true light coffee( low caffeine) like Toraldo Arancio for example is more bitter cause its 90% Arabica 10% Robusta which is more bitter than Toraldo Bluette "high caffeine" contains 60% Arabica 40% Robusta some of us enjoy this bitterness I'm sorry for the comment i don't know how you drink your coffee but most of the world drink coffee like its a juice or a shake The right way to drink coffee and enjoy for its caffeine to stimulate your mind and enhance alertness not to get sugar or chocolate and other stuff added to make a giant cup of shitty drink I don't blame you cause if someone is used to a burned espresso or lets say bad coffee taste and thinks its great he'll never know how a really great coffee taste like When it comes to the home of coffee its Italy you should learn not argue

Thank you for watching! Greetings from Norway 😄

Hehe yeah you like what you like 😅😛 i would guess the reason you like that is because you grew up drinking it and it gives you good memories. Are you the same with wine? You drink the cheapest wine with highest alcohol content? And with food? The cheapest pasta and tomato sauce? Italians are a bit strange in that sense . They Are super into quality food and wine. Very proud of their food traditions, and make the best espresso machines in the world, but has this weird idea that the machines should never be washed, and drink the most bitter coffee in the world 😅😂 They seem to be so proud of the history and culture that their eyes are closed for improving anything. “This is how it was done in 1900, so that is the only way to do it still” 😅 Norwegians tend to be the same when it comes to their traditions too, but it has evolved a little bit at least 😅 Luckily Italy is starting the finally change the coffee culture, at least amongst younger people, and more people are enjoying higher quality coffee that is traceable 😛

there is always time to discover new things and change habits in case. As an Italian I tell you

@@Ridethecoffeebeanexactly bro!

Yeah it looked really nice, and felt well built. Unfortunately we didn’t get to try it. It was a bit hard to talk to the guys at the booth 😅 But I World love to compare it to orker grinders like the comandante and the time more and others to see how good it really is. Maude next year 🤞

Hehe isn’t the world a more interesting place now through? 😁

@@Ridethecoffeebean for sure!

Probably because they don’t take the time to train their staff properly (espresso is difficult) and their beans are not the best quality.

Thank you ☺️

Hey thanks for watching. I understand what you mean, but this video was made more than a year ago

@@Ridethecoffeebean yeah, but Palestinians troubles is more than 70 years, you must been aware or heard about it.

Yes 😂

So many people are doing it, I was curious to try. It definitely tastes nice but it’s a bit messy.. not the most efficient way of doing a mocha for sure

Would be cool to have a map with the links to the videos for sure!

The poor sound quality we had at the time didn’t help unfortunately 😅

By the way, you can activate english subtitles.

@@GriuGriu64 that’s not the point ! What about when you’re face to face with a potential buyer ? FYI it was a rhetorical question…

@@liviuchetraru9580 okk.. By the way, in Athens we love Italian accent even when they speak English.

Thank you 😊

Yes, we need more of these 🌺

Takk !!

Hehe very true 😛 Finally good coffee can be found most places 😁

Thank you for coming along !! ☕️

Hehe yeah Italy is finally starting to drink specialty coffee and now there is at least one good shop in most cities.

Very true !

Coool! It’s a very beautiful place. I would definitely recommend visiting these shops 🥰
