Amazon product ASIN B001EOMZ5E

hmmmmm, that's quite the discount.


Or should I just get an aeropress and go down that route?



This is a serious question.

I got a similar device from Lidl a few years ago and it blew up in a week, I'd imagine this brand have a better build quality. I can ask my coffee roaster mate for his thoughts on it.

Yeah g'wan. Do focus on the "will it blow up" bit first.

There's no way it wouldn't be on a massive sale if it wasn't substandard in some way but even still.

He says those machines aren't very good. "espresso extraction on those machines tends to happen in about 10-12 seconds and not the 25 minimum needed. Added to that they tend to dose about 10-14 grams, not 18 needed for espresso. "

Aeropress is really good! More portable too.

Well then GOOD DAY TO THEM.

Does he have a recommendation? I assume it's "spend big or don't spend at all"

Yeah but I don't need portable is the thing. I'm happy to have a big machine in my kitchen if it's decent and i can afford it. I'll probably go down that route though, by the looks of things.

Go for the fancy machine so. You cans say, "coffee?...I have a MACHINE."

He mentioned having a mate who bought a 2 grand machine of that type and thinking the coffee from it was shite.

Aeropress and a decent grinder was his tip. I have a hario hand crank burr-grinder (many good coffee shops will stock them on the shelves) but off the back of talking to him about the machine you were considering I'm thinking of ordering one of these, which he says isn't bad. The one thing you want in a grinder above all else is it to be a burr one rather than a blade one.

this is 100% as bad as looking for a new record player.

I think the best option is that I get my sisters socks with my face on them.

Aeropress is also highly portable, for work / wknds away etc

And about 10% of the cost of that yoke

 

[Lili Marlene]

I'm not getting that yoke.

But i'm defo not getting an Aeropress now just to spite you all. Fuck your portable lifestyle, i'm staying put.
