Great review. Thank you. I'm an Aeropress user and have been using Death Wish Coffee in it. It comes out insanely strong which I like. I've seen some Spinn reviews which say it doesn't create as strong "regular" black coffee. Seems like it did okay with your first drink. Any thoughts on Aeropress vs Spinn for regular coffee? (Also to confirm there's no bypass for the occasional decaf or whatever?)
@@DaddyGotCoffee I have noticed one thing .. this thing is not a fan of a dark roast bean. After it grinds I think the grounds get stuck or something and I have to cancel and retry .. other than that no complaints .
Question! I had a spinal cord injury he recently that left my s hand a bit limited. I am a former barista and really value making a great pour over. While I can do it with some assistance it is quite a hassle to do. Does this give you options for grind size/ customization for a pour over? This might be some thing I would want to purchase down the line for its automation. Thanks
Wow! First, thanks for commenting and so sorry about your injury! In the spinn app you get options for customizing dose (coffee weight) and beverage size, but not grind size unfortunately. By messing with these two settings you can adjust your ratio pretty flexibly and I was really impressed with the “pour over” flavor even though the brewing process is a little different. If ALL you want is a pour over, the xbloom does do a great job and gives you options to control ratio, grind size, and water temp. BUT you’re also locked in with pods and the Spinn has a way more well rounded menu. Feel free to drop more follow up questions!
I was considering Spin, I’m new to your Channel … if I wanted to spend $1,000 Canadian can you tell me or direct me on what you would recommend for the absolute best cup of black coffee / americano
By "crazy grinder" is the Niche still making you happy? I'm back in the market after some 'life' and I'm seriously considering all- in- one units like the Spinn or Lattego vs a simple setup such as the Niche Zero+Bambino Plus and I see the Niche still on your counter! Thank you
I still really like the Niche zero, and the new Duo is something to keep an eye on as well! I have a review in the works on it. I think this decision comes down to how much you want to make a hobby out of coffee. The spinn will make you great coffee every day but a bambino/grinder def sets you on more of a hobby trajectory
@Daddy Got Coffee Thank you. I really want to be able to froth milk and I love the aspect of getting nearly instant hot water for tea without having a separate kettle as well.
I didn’t count exactly but it is several. I think how many depends on the menu item you’re making. It also has an indicator that tells you when it needs to be emptied!
How would you compare it to the TK-01? If you buy one, which one would it be? There is pre-sale for TK-02. I currently have Oracle touch but I don’t always dial in the settings correctly and tired of wasting a lot of beans to dial my settings right. I mainly drink espresso and latte.
@@alimansour1018 - even though it’s a little unconventional I would probably choose the spinn just because of its flexibility. I like to enjoy a fair bit of filter coffee and pour overs too though.
Love this machine!!!! Have had it a year. The only problem is cleaning out the part on the side where coffee grounds can get stuck. Going to have to reach out to support because it isn’t easy. Great machine though and it makes wonderful coffee.
This convinced me to give it a try. I have been an espresso purist with a heavily modded gaggia machine but my busy schedule has had me looking for an easier way. Just ordered the machine and am pretty excited to play around with it.
I’m just returning mine after using it for 20 days. It made a great cuppa coffee, but it kept leaking all over the counter, regardless of how many times I emptied the yanks
This looks like the perfect gift for my Mum or something, but... i'm too scared of a new product with overly complicated internals, and a 45 day warranty, no thank you. However, I will be keeping a close eye to see if it gains traction in the market. Great video!
Would be nice if it had an actual display for controlling it. Get downstairs to make your coffee...whoops, left my phone upstairs, brb! Could maybe have a dedicated iPad mini sitting next to it to serve as its control panel.
The buttons on the front are nice for this type of thing, but if you want anything other than espresso or black coffee it’s needs to be programmed into one of the 4 user buttons
One question I had relating to this, do you HAVE to be connected to the internet to connect to this or is that a wifi/Bluetooth connection to your phone app and the unit? This will be perfect to have in an RV/camper, but I know of quite a few (not even isolated really, Saugatuck, MI for example as a whole, and many state parks throughout the country) areas that have spotty internet connection and cell signal.
It looks awesome but it would have been smarter if they somehow were able to make swappable coffee containers. So you can easily switch between coffee beans.
How do they call it nitro cold brew when no nitrogen gas is actually added to the coffee? It's just a cold brew. Actually, not even a cold brew when cold brew takes 12 hours or more of brew time.
Not sure how it creates it but the texture is almost identical to real nitro. Obviously there is no nitrogen tank so it’s some variant on the drink. I think if they called it anything else people would not really have any idea what the drink was. I think we need to be careful gatekeeping these terms. Lots of people make “cold brew” in aeropress over the span of a few minutes and no one batts an eye. Regardless of the presence or absence of a nitrogen tank, the result is the best approximation of real nitro that I’ve had.
@@DaddyGotCoffee It's not "gatekeeping" a term. It's called nitro because there is nitrogen in it. Without the nitrogen, it's not a nitro drink. I can't offer someone a pb&j sandwich, leave off the peanut butter and say, eh, close enough, I can still call it a pb&j. Trying to claim it makes all these other style drinks without the actual ingredients that make those drinks is disingenuous.
@danimalNZ @scottcallender-gh4gj - for clarity - it’s for a 45 day return policy and a 1 year “limited” warrantee.The terms are at Spinn's discretion regarding use etc so be sure to check the terms
@nagarajuarun10 - to clarify - the 45 day return is no questions asked. There is a 1 year limited warrantee at the discretion of the spinn team. This was upped from 6 mos originally, a good sign at the least
Makes everything huh, bwahaha... looks like it makes an expensive/exaggerated mess. Might be fine for less demanding (BORING) brew methods, but something like that simply can't approach espresso nirvana regardless of how much 'spinn' you put on it.
It makes a decent espresso for most users. I believe I said this explicitly in the review but espresso enthusiasts should look in a different direction. I think that is obvious. This machine is for casual home coffee enjoyers, not espresso enthusiasts. To be fair though, I’d like to see you make a comparable Nitro cold brew on your slayer or La Marzocco
@@DaddyGotCoffee Definitely not into cold brew on any level, so to each their own... It does get old though with the idiotic marketing put on items just for the sake of drawing interest and some companies simply need to be called out on their garbage.
The coffee looks terrible. It is water. Nothing will ever replace the REAL Espresso machines. This machine is ok for Americans because you like coloured water but for the rest of us, that's a big no
it seems affordable from my understanding of espresso (to buy a grinder, machine, the necessary tools etc) and produces more than just espresso. I'm struggling to see the downside here, besides I do like the idea of doing espresso the traditional way.
I'd be interested to see how this would compare to the TK-01 or 02, looks great though!
Thank you for the awesome review!
Did you end up keeping the machine?
Btw, where did you get your black shirt?
Great video! Can you only program this via the app?
Any tips on the side chamber reassembly? I have the little green part out but can’t get it back in.

Interesting product! Thanks for sharing!
Of course!!
how does it work on French Roast oily bleans?
Can you make a redeye from the menu? Thx!
would you say the Spinn makes better coffee than the Ratio 6 or Moccamaster?
You can use it without their filter. Just use filtered water.
Can I bypass the filter?
I just got one of these 2 weeks ago and I love it. I have experienced the drawbacks he is talking about but so far the coffee is FIREEEE!
It’s such a great machine!

B-Roll daddy!!! Killing it dude.
Thank you! Things feel like they have come a long way!!
@@DaddyGotCoffee they definitely have! Love the progression ⚡️🖤
How often to do you have to empty the grounds? After each brew, or several?
I didn’t count exactly but it is several. I think how many depends on the menu item you’re making. It also has an indicator that tells you when it needs to be emptied!
Where can i find the amber colored coffee cup? Thank you
It’s by Hearth Goods!
I like your review, have you tested the TK-01?
Actually - we have one of these at my day-job office! Great super auto!

did you use the same beans for all the drinks you made in your vid? thanks for your review and thoughts!
I did!
@@DaddyGotCoffee ok well I just ordered one. :D
@@lollywillowscl you’re gonna love it!
Where did you get those clear coffee cups from?
They’re from Kruve!
Do you have to use the beans from the marketplace? Or can I use any beans
Yup you can use any beans! I didn’t use their marketplace beans at all in this video
Love this machine!!!! Have had it a year. The only problem is cleaning out the part on the side where coffee grounds can get stuck.
Going to have to reach out to support because it isn’t easy. Great machine though and it makes wonderful coffee.
Checking you out for the first time
Thank you and welcome!!! ☕️
Do you think we can use other products to clean and descale the machine. I’m tired of paying so much for their products just to clean the machine.
Vinegar works
I got my pro in Black This Machine Is Fiiire 🔥🔥🔥 I Love frothing my coffee creamer 😋😋
It’s so great!
This convinced me to give it a try. I have been an espresso purist with a heavily modded gaggia machine but my busy schedule has had me looking for an easier way. Just ordered the machine and am pretty excited to play around with it.
I was really impressed by what it was able to spit out fully automated, I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
So how is it?
Are you? Are you a purist? #gack
would love for you to review DeLonghi TrueBrew
I’m just returning mine after using it for 20 days. It made a great cuppa coffee, but it kept leaking all over the counter, regardless of how many times I emptied the yanks
This looks good, but it would be nice to swap beans out on the fly.

It actually had a 45 day return police and a 1 year “limited” warrantee. Definitely check the terms though
🔥🔥
💪🙌🔥☕️
Interesting... very interesting! I still think a Phillips LatteGo appeals... 🤔 possibly more?
I should get my hands on one of these!
It's incredible..the 5400 is superb

If you’re looking for something like this check out the xbloom. It only makes pour over style but is really good in its own right

It really is. Super unique too

Filter cost of 25.00 at 250 coffees is a deal breaker!!
I don't use the filter. I just pour in filtered water.
It does kind of have a mini trashcan type of aesthetic. And 45 day warranty? They're not really backing their own product...not a good look imo.
It has a 1 year warranty. Not 45 days
LMAO with this comment… trash can vibe? I… guess it kinda does? 🤣

Once you factor in the costs of a more traditional espresso setup, the price definitely seems reasonable!
Say it with us; Cen triff-uh-gull. Not Centra Few Gull. #derp
Nitro?
Yeah, I should have said Nitro-like. It really tastes and has the texture of nitro, but that effect is created using air as opposed nitrogen.
