love honesty

My only problem is that is too long for my puristika. Anything bigger that a puristika will work fine.

Great Mentions

I hate Apple

The Breville Bambino does have PID

Fun video! I buy my beans for home brewing at Dayglow, even though it’s not close to my neighborhood at all - they have such a great variety. Next time you should try Sey in Bushwick - probably the most highly rated roaster in NY by enthusiasts (at least the ones who like light roast / Scandinavian style). Also try St Kilda in Manhattan for a bit of an Australian experience (named for a neighborhood in Melbourne, which is still overall one of the world’s best coffee cities IMO.

Great review. I also watched your review on the Acaia orbit. I think it would be cool if you compared the two.

Which is better to choose Eureka Xl or DF83V?

what about the timemore 078s? I'd be good to see a comparison with filter and espresso using the stock burrs

an high price would be 399$, a crazy stupid price would be 650+$. Comandante decided to be stupid.

What color is that?

No comparison to Australian cafes that have a wide range of gourmet food

Bravo!

Hey is this the same machine with Latina Altro that sells in Indonesia?

Gaggia obviously see an advantage to the OEM higher bar spring. What might that be?

La Cabra is my favorite shop in NYC. Although I went to their other location

Sorry to say I find that the video title is misleading since it is about WHY you sold the machine. But after watching for 9mins out of a total 11min video then comes the part where u really explained why u sold it

Nice video. Your points on layout and keeping it clean are very helpful. I'm building a custom coffee bar in my new kitchen. Installing a plumbed in La Marzocco GS3.

Great video Xris. 💯

The warm up temperature is not correct. I’ve had this machine for 3 years and while it is massive it, it doesn’t take 40 min… it takes me around 15 to 17 min the mornings. It is quite fast

Very nice and professional comparison 😊

Hi, a rather important curiosity... what happens if after the modification with a spring change from 15 to 9 I occasionally use the standard pressurized filter holder? does it work anyway? Does that improve too or can I throw it away?

No flow control? Nah! I’d rather get the Profitec Drive for 3k canadian less, but with more features.

What is that decanter? It looks so nice

This was such a fun video! Super nostalgic for me as I was in NYC a few months ago. Definitely adding Loveless to my list to try next time. I loved SEY in Brooklyn, and I agree that Dayglow is one of the nicest coffee shops I've ever been to, Johnny was so nice and welcoming! Also gotta add Rhythm Zero to the visit list for next time!

Fiancé

I've had the exact same machine for a couple of months now and after buying a thermometer for the group head I can say that flushing the head before pulling a shot is essential. When the machine has just heated up to 93-ish degrees celcius, 6-8 seconds of flushing might be okay. However, when the machine has heated up for mor than 40-50 minutes you will need at least 13-15 seconds of flushing. Otherwise you will end up with a waaay overextracted first shot. Also you want to manipulate the ovp in the back of the machine so it tops out at around 9 bars of pressure. For this, you will need to buy a barometer for the group head. too.

Now it cost 69,09€. fuck it

I just bought the new model and gave the ECM SYNCHRONIKA to my son in law. The new mini is amazing.

What exactly was the problem with the Felix &Co coffee?

Great video. I actually haven’t been there myself, but Sey is probably the big one you didn’t fit into this epic coffee tour. Suited is phenomenal. Anybody who goes should also ask for a light roasted espresso. Like the Decent pourovers, it’s usually daily rotation of specialty roasters from around the world (think Prodigal, Tim Wendelboe, Apollon’s Gold). Best espresso I’ve had anywhere. I also recommended getting an espresso at La Cabra. It’s a close second to Suited. They usually have two you can choose from and they’re both light roasted. Also… Similar global brand to La Cabra: WatchHouse on 5th Avenue near MoMa. I don’t know why nobody talks about them, but they’re a serious, serious shop. They have multiple geshas on the menu. I ordered an espresso and a $22 (!) pourover there. They brought me a tea palette cleanser and presented the coffee as a sommelier would present a wine at a fine dining restaurant.

Sounds like a fun time!

Thanks Xris for sharing your NYC coffee excursion. Nice variety of cafes. Plan to visit some of these in my next trip to NYC.

02:33 nice to see a Lagom Mini

I love your espresso tool organizer. Where is this available?

Wow man you missed my favourite: Jolly Goat in Hells Kitchen.

what is that black cover thing on the steam wand ? could be useful when purging the wand

Thank you for taking some of your time visiting us in NYC, Xris! 🙇‍♂️

So many stops!! Love the trip content

YES I NEED MORE VIDS LIKE THIS MY MAN!

Do LA next! 👌🏽

Missed out on Terremoto coffee house in NYC!

What shops should I try next? Most of these rankings were based on one visit to one location at one particular time and place, so don't take it too seriously 😉 Not sponsored - this video was shot entirely (even the audio voice over) on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, an incredible little camera and one of the coolest pieces of tech I've seen in a while (apologies for the nasally voice over). Check out this insanely cool camera here: geni.us/sJxhXg (affiliate link)

Super sexy machine, but Profitic, Leliet, and ECM make some amazing machines that do more for less than half the price. I'm currently using (and endlessly tweaking) a Gaggia EVO Pro while I work my way up to a Profitec Pro 300. For a less than a third of the price, it's a hell of a machine that will do everything I will ever need.

May I ask what’s the depth of a coffee bar you think is best?

Steam wand 700 bucks to upgrade is the most on brand la marzocco shit I’ve ever heard

Really too bad that there aren't any cups that don't release any harmfull micro particles in our drinks, whatever cup we buy there is always some toxic synthethic (or even organic) parts ruining it..

Is there going to be a day when we bring things back to reality? That's what, 11 grand in just grinder and espresso machine on that tool cart?

I am still waiting for my Grindmaster, despite mails in the Indiegogo campaign sending an information about the assembyl and shipping process in early March. Support told me that it will arrive somewhere in April and now June is coming. Is this whole campaign a scam? Could you please try to contact the company? Thank you

Nothing like the Sanremo YOU at that price point
