Kafmasino One Smart Espresso Machine Review (not the MiiCoffee Apex, or Turin Legato)

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Check out the machine here: kafmasino.com/

[@christophkoelle2122]

When pressing the extraction button, does the machine use the last setting of the software/app? So that when I'm happy with the settings, I don't have to use the tablet, but can use the machine like an ol- school mechanical machine?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Yes, it remembers the last recipe as long as the machine is not unplugged. If you cycle power to the machine, it goes to the default recipe. Anyway, once I figured out that I liked the La Marzocco profile the most, I put the tablet away for a while.

[@robertofalk]

Hi Tom, I see you touching the portafilter when grinding the beans. Does the machine heats up the portafilter if you wait long enough or it’s like some low end machines that the portafilter never really gets super hot for the touch?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hey Roberto, the PF does get hot after the machine has been on for a while. The brew group sits right underneath the 550ml boiler.

[@jinkei3294]

Why this machine looks exactly the same as Gemilai (Chinese machine maker) CRM-3007G ?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

From the manufacturer: "Developing a unique design for Kafmasino would have required new moulds and a very high initial outlay. Therefore, many coffee machine manufacturers share moulds which makes the design similar. This does not mean that the internal components and functionalities are the same. They have chosen this option to reduce costs without losing the quality and functionality offered by other much more expensive machines."

[@TontonGahu]

​@@TomsCoffeeCornerdid you actually ever checked how different the internals are versus the miicoffee apex?

[@sxair2285]

Hello Tom, thanks for the video, it is very informative! Do you know if the first batch of machines have been delivered to its customers yet?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Thanks! As far as I know, they should be rolling out in the next couple of months. Cheers, Tom

[@s96822]

looks like they "gaggiuno'd" a stock machine?? perhaps developed their own software for it? seems reasonable for those not inclined to do the modification themselves.

[@The_Coffee_Rabbit_Hole]

That look like a nightmare machine that would probably be nearly impossible to fix if something break .... im back to a manual lever with a pressur profiler , the shots are unbeatable ... by the way i would like to see how temperature stable is this machine during extraction ? Beacause this is surely a key factor for good espresso

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

It's stable, if I remember right. I think I measured it with a temp probe. But I just had this on loan, a a while back. It's the same essentially as the MiiCoffee Apex and Turin Legato, but with the smart features.

[@GoTellJesusSaves]

Looks like quite a nice machine. You mentioned on the previous video the price being half of the de1, but I can't find the current price on the de1. Did they disclose what the retail price will be?

[@erukuish]

The DE1 Pro is about €3900. No official price yet, presales starts tonight thou.

[@erukuish]

Looks like you are holding the milkpitcher weirdly. Do the milkpitcher not really fit under the machine? Or why are you holding it at a angle like that?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hey Eric, I always swing the steam arm out to the side and away from the machine. You just have to find the right angle to get the milk spinning and rolling.

[@erukuish]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner so the milkpitcher fits if the steamwand is straight out?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@erukuish Not totally sure what you mean, but here is another angle: kzbin.infomvrWWZ-US98?feature=share

[@phillipphan1394]

does the tablet come with it for the price?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

No

[@stefanociamarra2505]

Hi Tom. Nice overview! Is there any chance that you could upload pulling a shot without background music? Noise level and type matters too ;) is your scale bluetooth? If yes could you post the link? 🙏🙏

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Sure Stefano. I have an extra video without narration or music, that I was not going to publish, but here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4KVfZKwqJ6KlZY The machine comes with the bluetooth scale: kafmasino.com/shop/kafmasino-one-coffee-machine/

[@TSOGSocial]

Isnthere anyway to get this software on an android tablet and att it to a MiniCoffee or Turin Legato?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I can't imagine. The SW is essentially what you're paying for if you get the Kafmasino. Cheers!

[@tulenik71]

Modification of original chinese Corrima 3007G contains totally different control board, several sensors, etc., so it is substantial hardware upgrade/rebuild. It is not anything close to firmware update with unchanged hardware.

[@justinbouchard]

i'm not sure why i never saw this video. do you still use this?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

No, the maker just sent it to me for a review, then I sent it back. Cheers!

[@justinbouchard]

ah! i was wondering how you were enjoying it if you still had it lol

[@tarekali8268]

Thanks for review, I actually so interested of ur videos I think it's a great and smart machin , but it make the espresso something complicated I like to wake up morning and make a cup of coffee easy without technology and recipes all what I need is set up my grinding first time then all good

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Thanks for watching! Actually, if you choose a recipe, it is pretty easy from then on. Cheers!

[@tarekali8268]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner i see , maybe because i watched as a video i felt it's a complicated machine , i have to try it 😁 , Thanks for ur replay as always ❤️❤️

[@cafeterra1093]

I have designed the whole coffeemachine with those functions (there are some videos in my channel), everybody told it is cool, but nobody wanted to produce it.

[@guilhermefalk916]

Pretty impressive work you did.

[@cafeterra1093]

@@guilhermefalk916 thanks a lot.

[@theshortsofAlexus]

It pretty 😍

[@joep4847]

I must say I hoped for a better price than 1800 USD, but compared to other machines it's still okay I guess.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Actually, with the exchange rate being as it currently is, €1600 is $1680.

[@KalleSpieltBass247]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner Yes, but do not forget that they add 21% taxes and shipping cost if you add it to the shopping cart. So it will be almost 2000 EUR instead of the 1600 EUR if you want to buy one.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@KalleSpieltBass247 Alas, the negative impact of sales tax in Europe. In Germany, it's 19%. In the USA, it ranges between 0% (Alaska, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon) to 7.25% (California).

[@trevorlaporte5951]

Looks like the same machine as the miicoffee apex/turin legato.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

It's the same base machine, yes.

[@RandyLittleStudios]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner it is the same chassis they add hardware and new pcb.

[@Kchtulhoo]

how to up $500 from Chinese 🤣

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Could you rephrase that?
