You are exceptionally wonderful as a reviewer. The best I've ever experienced. ❤

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Thank you!

I bought the Gevi because of your video. Now having a few weeks of being a home barista under my belt I can confidently say that this was the best $120 I’ve ever spent. Does it have all the features and gadgets as a Breville? No. Will it impress coffee snobs? No. But have I saved money? Yes. Are the drinks delicious? Absolutely yes. I make cappuccinos/lattes for my wife and myself every morning, and that tip you had about letting the boiler cool down AFTER using the steamer by blowing off the steam was a huge time saver. I continue to reference this video time and time again, so I just wanted to say thank you!

Glad it helped. I have another video coming g out shortly where I have further refined this machine to kick up the overall quality.

I was very confused on how to get the water for an Americano, and you explained it at the 6:34 mark, which the directions really didn't do. Thank you.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

You're welcome. Soon another video with further improvements will be coming out.

maaaaan, i’ve had this machine for over a year now and you nailed every single problem with this coffee machine. honestly, i don’t recommend this machine, coffee is not very good to be honest. killer review to you my guy.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Considering the machine cost as much as 4 starbucks latte's. Its pretty good.

Love the detailed information on your video. Can you also review the casabrews 20 bar espresso machine?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I only review what I purchase. Sorry.

the reason the pressure is ramping up even without coffee in the basket is the use of a pressurized basket: this is what its built for, building pressure whatever the grind size is and restrict the water flow to not get too fast of a shot (underextracted) If you use a simple filter you wont have any pressure without coffee

[@retrotechandelectronics]

You werent paying attention.... and explaining what was already stated. What you missed was the indicator gauue showing high pressure without coffee, making it pointless.

[@loichervier7206]

its not pointless if you have your own grinder and grind it too fine you'll see the gauge going too high or if you put a simple basket and trying to dial it in perfectly.

[@cpthornman]

Run the machine without a portafilter and you'll see that the pressure doesn't go up at all. The gauge isn't pointless. You're just misunderstanding how a pressurized portafilter basket works. Pressurized baskets will give you that pressure regardless of whether coffee is present or not. They're designed to give you fool proof espresso no matter what.
