I've so missed seeing you, Gail. You have such a deep knowledge of the products and a knack for knowing exactly what questions the viewer is asking. I've watched ever since the early days with Kat, your warmth and friendliness is just so unique and it really puts a smile on my face seeing you back. We needed a closer up shot of the traditional garlic latte art!

I have been using this machine for six months, I don't have much more to add to Gail's review. I can just confirm that I could not be happier with this machine and its overall performance. The milk steaming performance is just off the charts, after a few seconds you are getting commercial equipment level steaming performance, which is just amazing from a machine at this price point and modest footprint. Not mentioned, but this has a 54 mm portafilter, is PID controlled, and the componentry looks very similar to Breville/Sage Barista products. Since they share the 54 mm portafilter, I strongly suspect this machine is built by the same contract manufacturer that Sage uses, and that's a good thing. The build quality is superb. I frequently use the ESE pod basket for decaf in the evenings. Matched with a Niche grinder, I'm getting very good shots out of the Perfetta using 17.5 grams in the non-pressurized double basket. If you are looking for something that does not eat up all your kitchen counter space, I can recommend this one without any reservations, especially if you frequently are making milk based drinks.

I was looking high and low for a Breville Bambino Plus, and it's sold out everywhere (including from Breville's own site). Then I came across a Reddit thread comparing it with this one, and this one just seems like a MUCH better deal and a better machine overall. So I bought one from you right away. Looking forward to receiving it in a few days! It seems like the one thing the Bambino does better is it heats up in 3 seconds instead of 40, but it takes at least that long to grind the coffee, so who cares? Having a choice of filter baskets, a pressure gauge, and a MUCH nicer portafilter means this ends up being a lot cheaper since now I won't have to upgrade all the parts right away anyway.

When I was calibrating the volume, I found that mine is inconsistent on the shot volume. When I weighed the output for a single shot, it varied 18 grams +/- 4 grams. Yes, that is a 20% variation. And the consistency of a double shot was no better. Dialing in the machine to your taste becomes difficult when the ratio of coffee to water may be changing each time you pull a shot. So check the level in your glass to see if your shots are consistent or not.

I owned a Solis SL 70 and I really liked it, however.... The coupling to the steaming wand was kind of cluggy and would pop loose spraying steam all over the electronics. It just got worse with time. While the wiring was Teflon insulated, the plastic spade connectors were not and got brown and brittle over time. It all became rather spooky as it aged. In all other respects it was a nice machine to use and I felt that it was a shame that Solis seemed to just quit on the quality when they got to the steamer.

First off Gail ROCKS and thank for coming back to do a video on my new machine. Yesterday I stopped at the Kirkland store and after spending some wonderful time with Alex I walked out with the Solis. What a great machine. This replaced a Breville and makes a much better shot, at least at my skill level. I would add that I pull a blank double shot once it heats up to warm up everything. They also provide a test strip for your water so you can dial in your filter. Simple instructions and something that I am very pleased with. I drive 90 mike's to get to Seattle Coffee Gear to spend time with Alex and certainly was not disappointed. Thanks so much and I know there are many, many enjoyable coffees in my future.

​@@ujlt7198 Yeah it's really strange I've heard both great and bad things. Most common problem seems to be the vibration pump. They are cheap and relatively easy DIY to replace. I think the biggest problem for any machine, thermoblock or not, comes from using hard water. Even if you decalc regularly, those with hard water seem to have many more problems. I have a water softener so not an issue. But at the end of the day, these are consumer appliances, not something prosumer like Rancillio which is going to last for the very long run. You get what you pay for. Gail did mention in her review that the Solis had very good components inside. I decided to put more money in my grinder than my machine, and so far I think that was good decision.
