That's a very good question - I think bisdakoz was holding it whilst recording. Do check out the other video from this day. What a morning (trains were playing up too so we couldn't train it back - had to cycle back fast to Merrylands from Concord 😶).

Sorry to hear that about other Turkish coffee makers. I had a manual one and it was art waiting for that precise moment (otherwise it overflowed). With this machine - I had no issues and could make 2-3 of those little Turkish coffee cups of coffee. I can't speak to other brands but this was a good find and glad my family got it for me.

@@kennanherkiloglu Nice! The sensor on the machine probably goes by temperature right? Just curious, I'm considering between this or just going the traditional route for Turkish coffee. I would like to be able to pop it back on and get it to simmer an extra time before pouring. Thanks! Also curious what the server is made of. I hopefully it's some kind of metal!

I would think so too (about temp). The server is metal but has a coating on the outside. Hope that helps.

Naww thank you - appreciate it.

Good to hear 😊

Definitely is - easily one of my favorite spots 🤍

@@kennanherkiloglu QVB tea room is still my favourite but the views at the majestic hydro put it in a close second ☺️

Thank you and much appreciated 😊

You need to get ready made coffee ground or a separate grinder (this machine does not have a grinder built in). Given how much I consume coffee - a 200-250g amount of pre-ground coffee works for me.

Sunbeam is cheaper (from memory). The dedica I had a weird two piece attachment for the milk frother (steaming wand) - which would let in more air and you'd have a cappuccino more often than not. Delonghi have since fixed that and now included a simpler steaming wand (so they have now caught up to the budget brand lol). I'd personally stick with the Sunbeam - been producing great coffees for me (textures the milk right) and at that price point - hard to argue. I'll be doing another video soon showing my continued use of it (still love it). Hope that helps (and if you buy it from a retailer - get extended warranty - I know it was helpful for me in the past).

It's from Pali Roots 🙏🏼

If that happened to me I'd be taking it back to the shop and asking for them to fix it. But my process is I'd do a shot (pressing one or two ups). Then I'd press the steam button and then I'd turn the dial down to steam and it should start. Try switching on and off again to try. But yeah - machine may be cooked 😅

@@kennanherkiloglu thank you. I bought it from Amazon.

From memory this can be programmed - manuals can be found by googling the model of the machine and manual.

Thank you for viewing. As an update - I had to replace this machine (good thing it was under warranty). There's a common fault that occurs in one of the vacuum heads (the motorized one). I went to The Good Guys, explained the situation and was given the opportunity for either a full refund or replacement. I actually like the machine as it does the job so I got a replacement of the exact same machine.

Haha fair enough

Makes sense - admittedly my first bike after a while (and I'm probably not doing it justice in changing gears properly). That said - the staff at this bike shop are quite helpful and can run down things (ie proper usage and maintenance of bike).

@@kennanherkilogluYeah I mean I went on my first proper ride this morning on this bike and took a little time to really find the correct gears at the right time. As mentioned sometimes when the gears felt right the gears lower down didn't sound quite smooth when riding

@mercer1954 I get ya (had to reflect on my usage of the bike there). Yeah in the lower gears - it doesn't sound as smooth. I think the sweet spot is keeping it at least 2 and above. But having said that - there are other videos of me riding with this bike. Did enjoy it - though I think if one wants that speed on bikeways - a road bike may be the next step up (this is more that intro bike to get back into it - and a great backup). Need to thank Bisdakoz for getting me into cycling back then. Would love to get back in it. Power to you my bro - keep cycling 👏🏼

Noted 😅

Thanks for that insight mate - appreciate it.

@@kennanherkilogluall good, thanks for the video! Coffee looked nice!

No worries and glad to have made it (here's hoping people see your original comment and the correction). As an update, I've probably descaled it like 3 times max since I've got it (it automatically tells you when to do it - and easier descale compared to the De'Longhi dedica) - I keep the machine clean - and do the usual things (passing hot water first before pulling a shot to warm up the machine first). Excellent coffee to date (without breaking bank). Amazed at the texturing of milk more than anything (silky smooth - and even a guy like me can do coffee art - self taught).

@@kennanherkilogluThat’s good man. You’re right about the Dedica, the panarello wand (which is supposed to make frothing milk easier) on it is junk, texturing milk is half the fun of making coffee.

From memory it did (after I did my cleaning cycle) - but I like to close it from the powerpoint once I'm finished.

It wasn't too bad - that said, there was an armed robbery at the building I was staying in. And the rent now is $650-$700 PW easy for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment there. The ones near the station - even more. Premium prices in Granville 😅

There shouldn't be a plastic thing inside the portafilter (as this model has a non-pressurised basket that you place into the portafilter). My previous machine, the De'Longhi dedica had that.

Did you find a metal one? I dont like hot water touching any plastic in my coffee machine, this is the only thing holding me back from buying this one. Though it seems most spouts where the coffee drips from are plastic.

@@kennanherkiloglu so the black plastic sits under the basket and the hot water doesnt touch the plastic? Presuming it drips out plastic nozzles? Loved your review, so close to getting one of these as Im sick of cleaning my Delonghi Magnifica S

The porta filter has a metal attachment (cap) that you take off when cleaning. There is no plastic/rubber seal in the cap area (compared to say the delonghi dedica where it was another item that needed to be cleaned - in addition to the two part milk steamer). The steamer in this machine is one piece (metal - just like coffee machines should be) and the porta filter, whilst pressurised (thank you to another commenter for pointing that out) - does not have a plastic attachment that goes on top. All in all - great value (and a machine for the space constrained and budget conscious). Hope that helps.

i'm guessing you do have a plastic liner in the base of the portafilter. you should be able to remove it after you remove the screw on the underside. at worst, your espresso will be a little cooler without the plastic insulating it from the portafilter wall, and it won't pour out quite so smoothly. definitely not a big deal. but there will be quite a bit of plastic inside the machine where the hot water flows. there are thousands of different sorts of plastic so you'd need to ask sunbeam for details. it will be plastic that is in common use in contact with hot water. what specific risk there is i cannot tell you

You're welcome (and I used to love the Dyson stick vacuum but this vacuums more comprehensively - the two different heads of the vaccine are helpful too).

Firstly thank you watching. Secondly, glad to have made an impact. Yeah I use one scoop from the spoon provided and do a light press down and then sort of turn it a bit (so the top is nice and smooth). Happy to do a short video of the tamping process if that helps. Thanks 😊 (and enjoy this machine - my first machine where I actually consistently had good coffee art with the good coffee).

Thank you for watching 😊

Thank you for viewing 😊

Compact Barista Espresso Machine EMM2900SS

It's a good area to cycle - you can go to the lake and even to Cecil Hills. You were in a good area for cycling.

Apologies - my friend who bought this did. I didn't. The portafilter that comes with this is adequate and has done the job for me. If I can add, you don't need an expensive machine - getting good beans is the important part (and I end up getting coffee ground from cafes). Thank you for watching,

Thank you for the insightful comment - much appreciated. And agree - the bike paths are the way to go (we cycled back along Woodville Rd - and not the safest for cyclists - nor good for the bike itself). Yeah them magpies can be next level - it's like we need eyes painted on the back of the helmet. I miss these cycling routes and it's one motivation for me to move back to this area.

Given the price point (in getting disc brakes) - I love it (should get a commission lol). But seriously, I've enjoyed my bike rides with it. I see this as that one step before getting a road bike. In terms of handling off-road though - I wouldn't recommend though as I found it would not grip as well (plus there's a disclaimer on the bike which warns that it's not an off-road bike). But if you're cycling in the suburbs / city - it does the job well. But when in store, do try it and see if it's for you as well (don't feel obligated to buy it then and there).

I was talking about this machine over the weekend with friends. It's value of money and can steam very well. I'm in the same boat - it's learning by doing on my end 😅

@@kennanherkiloglu tempted to keep working from home but might just buy one for the office instead 🙂

Hehe 💯 - definitely makes working from home a breeze (using quality beans). As for this machine in the office - I feel that it may get worn quickly and not used well in the office 😅

@@kennanherkiloglu all good mate. We have nespresso in the office at least

Thank you 🙏🏻

🙏🏻👏🏻

Naww - good stuff. Can only imagine how us Panthers fans felt up until that turnaround.

@@kennanherkiloglu I was going nuts, I had to apologise to the little Broncos kid sitting next to me 😂

Hehe too good. I was at the preliminary final - got a bit heated and also apologised to a mother and her child - Panthers fans but I was like I need to be better 😊 (but gosh the storm were playing a bit dirty).

Lessgoooo Panthers 🐾🐾

May the hungrier team win - it'll be a cracker

Come in hungry, leave starving 😳😂

😂😂 - that's a good one

Bronco’s are pretenders 😂

Great game - Brisbane were incredible competition. Nathan Cleary proved to be masterclass.

It was a close one. Epic game.

Go the mighty Panthers ⬛🟩🟨🟥

Thank you and here's hoping as well. Best of luck to the dogs next year in rebuilding - some great recruitment done - hoping they gel well as a unit.

Appreciate that feedback and I think it will actually come in handy with my bike riding pal 20-30km away from me now.

They were lovely - and I can see why all walks of life gravitate there 🙏🏻

I was lucky with this one - my first one (of only two) and I got Batman. I was more into the Woolies Disney cards promo going on at the same time.

Yep - only 100 in all of Aus from memory.

Thank you and appreciate the feedback. I had another user say they had difficulties as well (and somehow they slowed it down). Future vids for this would be at a normal speed.

Nice 👍🏻
