Sometimes good things need time 😅

With casual jar I found that the aroma and coffee taste will only be on point less than a week. Maybe bcoz the degassing happen much faster? Or the jar cant keep the coffee flavour. I dont know xactly, but this is from my personal xperience.

Hey, thanks for the comments. I have sold the 310 already, mainly because of the espresso quality, which I would unfortunately have to rate it a maximum of 5-6 out of 10. It is not capable of producing cafe quality espressos. In terms of espresso quality only, it is comparable with something like the Breville Barista Express or Bambino. Lower line WPM series will also give you the same espresso quality, so you are mainly getting a separate thermoblock for the steam, and an another thermoblock for thermal stability for the extra money. If you are an espresso drinker, get a boiler machine with OPV, or even flow control function. I would recommend something like the Breville Dual Boiler, which gives you way better espresso quality and not being too expensive.

@@pianocc534 Thank you for such a detailed, definitive and extremely helpful reply! I'll cross that one off the list!! I'm actually not an espresso drinker, I make something between a latte and a cap. But when the wife and I drink coffee from a shop, we can tell the difference from one place to another, which largely comes down to shot quality. We sourced the coffee used in one of our favourite places and the coffees I make at home are very nice (with the Dedica, can you believe it!) but not quite as nice as from the coffee shop. So I'm interested in upping my game with a new machine at some point. Was considering the Mara X but it might be too involved for our lifestyle. So still shopping around!

@@al201103 Great! Glad it helped. The Dedica should have pretty close espresso quality compared with the WPM310, so definitely look somewhere else if you are planning for an upgrade in shot quality. Mara X is a good option too, for its value for money. Im using Lelit machine also (Lelit Bianca), pretty happy with the shot quality and flow control function, but of course, it is pretty expensive. Breville dual boiler has really good value for the money imo, the shot quality and steaming is very nice (I have used this machine many times). The price is comparable with the Mara X also. If these machines are still too big of a commitment and you want something cheaper but with better shot quality, then I guess you will have to look for single boiler machines like the Gaggia Classic Pro or Rancilio Silvia. Steaming experience however, would be compromised.

@@pianocc534 Thanks so much! I'm in Shanghai, so the BDB is a LOT more than the Mara X - really inflated price here. Feel like I'm back to the Mara, which is actually ok by me. Can't tell you how much I appreciate the guidance!

Yes Im aware of that also. Thanks for the advice.

Not good to be honest. I have sold it.

@@pianocc534 can you tell me why it's not a good machine?

@@rennsimulator Poor pressure control, no OPV built in, which directly affects your espresso shot quality.

This one

На 4 щелчка сделал.

@@АнатолийАнатольевич-х8з да, я тоже до 4-х допилил ее. для турки оптимальный помол у меня на 5-ти получается, на 4-х много пыли, но все равно помол неравномерный, эта овальность сказывается. Не стоит она своих денег.

Not a bad choice if your budget tight, definitely better than Breville’s own grinder. But if budget allows, get the Niche or Eureka, which would be a pretty good combo with BES920

Thank you for your reply and informative video. I guess I will go with this grinder for time being and probably upgrade later if feel needed. Cheers.

Buy the silvia.

我已換機了。如果你有要求的話建議你買鍋爐機。
