Great lil machine with some fantastic ideas. Lets see if the guys can pull it off. The double scales seems like a great idea too and will definitely bridge the gap into making a good coffee.

Yes, that is a very common thought process... To be fair, try searching for parts for some of the most common machines & you will have similar issues. I will be diving deeper into the machine to see what parts are used inside.

@imreallysureovereigh 4 ай бұрын

Definitely something different! I love the idea with the dual boiler and pid combined with a more futuristic look and control. I always missed this on regular machines like ecm or lelit. The problems I personally have is the miss on automatic beverages like selecting americano and getting both, water and coffee with one click. I also prefer the volumetric measuring output of breville machines rather than having a scale built in. Also not quite a fan of the plastic (not shiny) Design. But the dual boiler is big! Still undecided what to go with. But great Video!!

@mitchdoescoffee 4 ай бұрын

It's all about balance really... the breville machines are absolutely focussed on convenience, but they sacrifice quality to achieve this. The breville "volumetrics" are so far from a consistent output... true gravimetrics like this are far superior, it will stop the shot with enough time to allow gravity to flow & achieve the goal weight. Having the Timed method will give you a different coffee each time.

Hey mate. Congrats on pulling the trigger. 👍 Yes, "standard" 58mm baskets fit... the IMS basket installed for this video was from my e61 portafilter.

Hi mate. These scales are built in to this machine & it uses a rotary pump. 😎

Do you know if you can tare the weight so long black drinkers can add their water prior to pouring the coffee?

@mitchdoescoffee 4 ай бұрын

Yes, you can simply pop over to the scale feature in the main screen & weigh your water also. Once you go into the extraction mode, the scale will be zero again.

@Luckyme-kq3sq 3 ай бұрын

Many thanks for your reply, Mitch. Another question, I am an Aussie backer and we are now at the stage of deciding colour and shipping method. Did you get your machine air freighted to you or by sea shipping and if by air, was it delayed in customs for any length of time? Meraki is saying we should choose the sea shipping method over the air freight method (we pay for the shipping either way) as the air freight seems to get held up in customs - this may happen in other countries but wanted to know your experience please if possible. Many thanks again for your assistance.

@mitchdoescoffee 3 ай бұрын

@Luckyme-kq3sq mine was sent via air quickly, but because it was an individual unit, it would have squeezed through alot quicker than a container will. I'd recommend via boat as it is much less likely to have issues in handling (broken etc)
