I didn't order the (shall I say) the older transducer just for the looks but the new one looks sleek! Is there a way I could order this and get it added to my Batch 3 order that I already have?

When will this be availble for purchase on the website?

If you don’t recommend removing the shower screen then how do you recommend giving it a thorough cleaning?

@ross- Thanks for making and posting this video.

Cool, is this shipping now? I don't see it on the website.

Hot to get it in Germany ?

Nice video. It's so easy servicing this machine, i love it!

Thank you so much for this video! Do you recommend using soap and water to clean the piston/spring/o-rings around the piston assembly? Or would you recommend just wiping them down with a towel or maybe isopropyl alcohol (if I want to be extra clean)?

Is that molykote stuff safe to eat??

👍👍👍☕☕☕🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

It's amazing that one can clean every single part of the machine which touches water or coffee without so little effort

Thanks Ross! Appreciated

Can you stop the extraction once a desired yield is reached? Eg pull up on the lever like on a flair? Or do you have to empty the chamber?

Have you considered increasing the footprint of the baseplate for added stability to avoid using your hand for stabilization? Ideally you wouldnt need to secure it with your hand but I can see why you want to keep the overall machine small. Maybe make the metal piece under the drip tray expand out wider or in a T shape so you could twist the portafilter without toppling the machine when you torque it in and out?

how big shots can it pull? It seems like it tops out at 34grams

Thanks for sharing. The company is now starting their 3rd batch of pre-order to be delivered in Q1 2025. Because it ship from US, this is roughly 20% of VAT to be added to price for a total of 1350$ + 60$ shipping... That's why I will get a Cafelat barista for 500$ as I never do anything with steam, only medium/dark espresso... Still Argos is definitively a great option before jumping to even more expensive lever machines (CT2 : Two thousands $)

@odysseyespresso is the steam wand tip in this video the stock tip that comes with Argos (2-hole tip), or is it changed to 3- or 4-hole tip? Mine seems to have way less power than this one shown in the video and cannot create this strong vortex...

Perfect shot!

I suspect you are right that the pull was fast. I was close to 15 seconds.

Beautiful design. However, I am wondering if I am missing something here. My understanding is that this is a single boiler espresso lever machine like Les Pavoni's, for example but wrapped in a modernized design. Or, am I missing something?

You need a taller bench

I am SO STOKED that I will not have a giant dildo on my machine!!! This is awesome!

Really impressed by the machine and the man.

This is very interesting. If I may though, it seems to me that using a positioning jig for the boiler (instead of taking multiple measurements with a caliper) would be a much more efficient way to assemble (and less error-prone). Build the jig once, speed up assembly and reduce errors.

This is great to watch. I can't wait to get mine and reflect on the incredible details and sophisticated thinking behind engineering and building in addition to business development and team building. Bravo!!

The very definition of a hand-built artisanal machine. Stunning.

Beautiful machine!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wonder if you couldn't build an alignment jig for the part where you're aligning the boiler with calipers!

Pretty cool.

Dang, Ross, looks like you've got a lot of this memorized! Love the multipurpose jig, too, that's a great idea

From workflow to how a machine is assembled!. I appreciate all the info you give us as consumers.

Ok, now I see why you don’t sell them as kits 😂 Very cool video Ross! Can’t wait to get mine!

but.... you didn't finish?

A whole new level of appreciation and admiration! I can’t wait to get mine! Keep up the good work!

Hey Everyone, it's a 2mm hex key by the way!

Hi! I am a coffee starter from Korea who is interested in Argos. I am leaving a message to you so it may help Argos to be more user friendly. Would you consider placing a Boo ey in the boiler for the sake of convenience? lamarzocco places red Boo ey to indicate drip tray to be drained when it the tray is full. you would still need to find out which plastic material to use such that it would withstand the heat and pressure.

Can't wait to see a future iteration with a better--and possibly wider drip tray.

I’m guessing Ross that you are right handed but on your own personal machine, do you have your steam wand on left side. This will be my first espresso machine if I go through with it but I can’t figure out for the life of me which side would work best for me

Is it possible to order two different assembled arms? One for spring and one for direct lever? Makes things a lot easier for me. Thank you.

i would like to ask about your digital bluetooth transducer. Is it compatible with flair 58 too? Is it working the same with smart espresso profiler unit? Difference in compatibility with machines or scales? I am interested in purchasing an argos and i would appreciate something that provide digital data but working also with flair 58 and having as much compatibility as possible.

Will there be a base model without the app connectivitiy?

What is the grinder brand and model?

i wonder if you can steam milk and brew espresso at the same time?

This was super helpful, one tip I learned, is to make sure the steam valve is fully open (it requires more turning than I originally thought), that made a huge difference and brought steaming time down to 15-20 seconds for a pitcher of milk.

nice

It can survive for pop up coffee shop? 100 shots per day

How many shots can you do on a full tank of water?

Is it possible to do one or two more so called Fellini moves/pulls in order to get a larger cup of coffee or lungo? Or what would you recommend to someone who would like to enjoy a drink a little longer than it would take to drink the traditional espresso?
