As one of the people who requested this review, thanks so much tom for listening to my request tom! There's a lack of reviews on this machine even though on paper it seems to have great value

Thank you for your feedback, but I wouldn't call this a review - more like a first look. I will give it a proper review with proper video and audio soon. Cheers!

Thanks for video! I use this machine double espresso basket with 18 grams of coffee (or 17,3 grams with puck screen). It makes 36 grams espresso in about 25 seconds with 9,5-10 Bar pressure.
@kevinalvarado37246 ай бұрын
I bought this machine last year, in the end I put a dimmer because the pressure was too high and it had no opv, it was frustrating to keep the pressure stable. From time to time I could get great shots, but in the end I bought a refurbished Lelit Elizabeth.

coffee_wave went over the process of removing and adjusting the OPV in his review at around 12:00-14:00 minutes. I don't know russian myself but the auto translated captions did a decent job. The process seems like a pain, but not super difficult. You may be able to do it in without taking it apart with a correctly shaped tool(maybe cut a strip from a metal ruler and bend it to shape). I'm not entirely sure from the video(around 12:20) but it seems like there is an additional cover at the bottom of the top part of the machine that can be removed to access it more easily.

would you say this is an upgrade over a Breville Infuser and worth getting for like $200 or should I just get a Flair 58? It has some features I like and is super-cheap on Aliexpress but I don't know.

Nice review as always Tom! I'd love to see a comparison with the ECP, Dedica and bambino! Hibrew also has some grinders, it would be nice if you could do a review of the hand grinder and the G5

I just checked on Amazon USA and it is currently available for $269.99 which is 10% off. There are a total of 4 reviews, all 5 ⭐️. The reviews are so professionally written it leads me to believe that they may be fake or purchased by the manufacturer . . . Hard to say for sure.

You are right to be wary when a product is new and only has overwhelmingly positive reviews. Maybe wait for some more reviews...

Based on this video and the 'setup' video.... I feel I dodged a bullet. Lack of OPV valve is not good, the electronics are likely to fail one day (soon) and its game over.

Yeah, they should add a solenoid valve, ability to adjust flow rate and make it taller to fit bigger cups and scale.
@TomsCoffeeCorner6 ай бұрын
Well, you have to consider the pricepoint. Solenoids are expensive - depending on the model between $25-50 each. But making the pressure adjustment on the OVP accessible would be nice.

Is it similar to the newer Gemilai CRM3605s models? It's only available in south korea i think because i've only seen youtube videos from there. A similar looking machine in my country would be the Guerrero TBK01. The korean version however have the pressure bar, built in dimmer, and PID (if im not wrong) and 58mm also

Is 20psi a little high for this machine to be pumping out? Ànd why so high when other commercial coffee machines are much lower?
@TomsCoffeeCorner6 ай бұрын
20 bar is only a marketing gag. The most I have ever measured on any machine was 14 bar, and usually they are between 11-14. But what you want is 8-9.
