Yeah I’ve used the Ikawa for a few years and I really like it. It makes roasting coffee samples so easy! All you have to do is decide on a profile and put the coffee in and it does the rest. Really nice if you have 20 coffee samples to roast. But I’ve also seen people using it at home. One batch a day for your morning brew 😛

Hehe good question. Of these I think the Dutch masters roaster seems the most interesting for me. I know the guy who designed it and I think all the little details like reusing the heat and integrated scale would make roasting easier but still manual enough. I’ve used both the sample roasters and I love them both. The roest is the better quality roaster and will give you more detail and nuance. But the simplicity of the ikawa is genius. And the fact you can bring it anywhere in the world and get the same result is brilliant!

Thank you ☺️

Yes ! We were told but didn’t have time 🥲

Alexander Janku from VVH casually commenting <3

Interesting, thanks for sharing !

Thank you!!

Thanks for watching ! We love making these videos 😁

Same here 😛

Thank you ☺️

Yeah there Are so many shops that we didn’t have time to visit them all. But we will at some point 😛

Interesting, thank you. I think nobody mentioned these ones when we asked for recommendations. That’ll be for next time !

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 machines without too much technology. Just like honda or Yamaha for motorcycles 😛

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

⁠@@Ridethecoffeebeanla marzocco is app based now though…😂

Don't give them that idea please!

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 😅🤞😛

@@LIL-MAN_theOG 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.

I use an Espresso Forge with a Kinu m47 hand grinder and a Bellman steamer. This completely manual setup is capable of producing hand-crafted artisan espresso on par with any of the machines shown in the video and you will save yourself potentially hundreds of dollars in maintenance fees per year as it is maintenance free and about as bulletproof a setup as ever existed. Also, no need to take up valuable counter real-estate as everything is compact and can be stored in a cupboard between uses. These manufacturers are preying on ignorant status-oriented consumers who want to show off the latest wizz-bang gadget to impress their circle of materialistic yuppie acquaintances . It won't be long before something breaks down or they become bored and sell it in order to upgrade to the next shiny object. It's endless, really.

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 😄
