3-year Prima owner here. The key takeaway should be "you need to register an account to use the app". About 90% of the settings are only accessible through the app. The app is reliant on VA's auth server. And they already have a track record of taking their servers down for 2 or 3 months, effectively half-bricking everyone's machines. Also, the just released LMLM revision added a gravimetric dosing option so it outclasses any version of VA Prima now.

Thank you for sharing this very important information under a video which in my opinion should be seen as an advertisement.

What water are you using in your studio for the tank to accommodate Espresso, and brew pours?
@greysuit177 ай бұрын
The only issue i see with this machine doing both pour overs and espresso is the water composition. Water for espresso for best flavor is dramatically different than water for pour overs. I love the concept though. Would be cool if it took water for pour over from a different reservoir dedicated to pour over coffee.

? Different water? Come on!! If I’m making tea or coffee… my source is the kitchen tap, which is well filtered.
@greysuit1724 күн бұрын
@@gregmcgarry1 Yes different water. Water composition has a huge impact on flavor and the care of your espresso machine. If you have too much calcium in your water even if it’s well filtered and tastes fine in your filter coffee you may be causing damage or scale build up. This will lead to more unnecessary descaling and cleaning and bad tasting espresso. Your water composition is the most important component to good tasting coffee. Check out Lotus Water or Third Wave Water and do simple tests with making coffee with a gallon of distilled water with those water additives. Compare it to your coffee brewed with your filtered tap. Huge improvements in the quality and taste of your coffee.

@@greysuit17 Ah. I thought TWW was actually water sold in bottles. Did not realise it was an additive for distilled water. I live in Ireland, our water quality is good but I can have a scale issue for sure. $2 /litre for TWW! Those guys are making bank!!

@@gregmcgarry1 yeah it’s pricey but if you go down the rabbit hole of water it gets complicated and you can make your own. I distill all my water at honey and use the Lotus Water drops after brewing. Except in my espresso machines I use two different recipes specifically for espresso.

This has been the most problematic coffee machine produced in recent times. So much so that some of us have given up on fixes and dealing with product support that we have to sell it in the end at a major loss. I will never ever buy a VA coffee machine anymore. :-(

I heard there were huge issues with mobile app connectivity and etc. - we can relate just with dealing with a Prima EXP model past few months and it was smooth. I understand the frustration, sorry to hear the struggles.

Same here. But I kept mine as the loss on sale was something I could not bear. So I stuck to it until I got all of my issues fixed, it took over a year. I am now stuck with it but it's something I am ready to endure.
