Odyssey Argos Workflow

[@idopeso]

Thank you for showing us the workflow. This machine looks good even with the innards exposed.

[@surindhatalwatte8176]

Great overview. Thanks so much for posting!

[@danielsinner4767]

Awesome to see your hard work on display!

[@FilipLaurentiu]

There is no water level indicator ?

[@odysseyespresso]

No, just a low fluid level sensor. You get 4-5 double shots before needing to refill

[@ende421]

one question: when?

[@TroyPalmer90]

Can you please record video in landscape? Squinting over here trying to see the beautiful machine!

[@ronaldorodan6237]

Is it spring loaded?

[@FilipLaurentiu]

You need to wait for the pressure to be release until you get the portafilter out ?

[@idopeso]

I guess that's the case. But with most direct lever machines, you can pull up a little the lever, then you can disengage the pf. I'm not sure, but I think you'll be able to do that on this machine.

[@isaacsloan5896]

After steaming how long before the boiler can be used to pull another shot?

[@odysseyespresso]

Immediately if you turn the steam switch off while steaming to allow boiler pressure to drop a bit

[@Caffeine.And.Carvings]

How close would this come to a Flair 58 flavour wise? My dream machine would be basically the flair 58 with milk steaming and automatic boiler function, this looks too good to be true in the video =)

[@ThePorkTree]

There’s about a zillion variables. The common pints are 58mm basket and a lever. You could make them taste really similar or really different.

As a Cremina owner I wish you the best of luck. Looks great. Is the body of the production model insulated so you wont burn yourself if touched?

[@odysseyespresso]

It's partially insulated so still hot but not enough to burn you

[@Rick9482]

You should have a better grinder, the The Vario grinder is on the low end of acceptable grinders for espresso. How can you pull a shot and then steam right away? Did I miss a step?

[@odysseyespresso]

The Vario is plenty fine for espresso. I have a Monolith Flat Max in the shop and currently borrowing a DF64. Dipper style machines use boiler pressure to get water into the group which allows me to start steaming immediately. I also press the steam switch just before pulling the shot to build additional pressure while the shot pulls.

@@odysseyespresso Thx for the answer! I've been a Decent Espresso owner for three years now but I like to keep up on lever machines. The Odyssey seems like a fine machine for that amount of money. I've gone through my experimental stage and have settled on Americanos as my drink of choice. I have way too much machine for my coffee needs but I just love it and Decent is a fabulous company. Haven't used a WDT yet and never will! IMO, some people are just drawn to go down the rabbit hole. Whatever makes you happy I guess but I like to keep it pretty simple and the Decent is so easy on the puck that I can get away with my method easily. Glad to see you have a better grinder and I also have a Vario for its versatility.

[@odysseyespresso]

@@Rick9482 the Decent is a great machine but there's something about the simplicity of levers that draws people in.

[@Rick9482]

@@odysseyespresso I agree and if I had more knowledge when I started this journey(over 35 years), I would have gone for a lever machine. I got drawn in with all that E61 shiny metal and that's a WLL specialty. I guess I've had all kinds of machines BUT a lever. The Decent machine however, is truly next level design. Kinda shocked nobody is trying to copy the tech.

[@devinhead43]

Hi, is the shower screen 58mm or do you need to use the screen that was placed on the puck, similar to the flair 58? Looks great either way

[@idopeso]

From what i've seen, It uses an E61 shower screen.

[@Shakespeare1623]

Is it possible to request a refund? I have invested in your terrific device but it is taking more time than I willing to wait now. I don’t see anything written about requesting refunds. All I read in the offering, is I can ask for a refund after I receive the machine and fourteen days after. I don’t want to wait…thanks

[@odysseyespresso]

Yes. Please send an email to [e-mail] and we'll get that processed for you.

[@AlexJohnson124]

What coffee is that?

[@konstantin_lv]

I think I could read the label at 0:54 and it appears to be "Rwanda Muhari by Difficult Coffee Co. "
