@@kamaalalawi5793 I think the best part of this machine is the stability and ability to handle a lot of orders. I’ve been doing around 75 drinks in around 3 hours and it seems to handle it without much problem. I still think it was overpriced and I could have gotten a used one or another brand but I don’t regret it as I’ve been able to make enough money to have paid it off through selling drinks.

@@breeplayz3884 it is amazing! I miss it there and want to go back so bad!

@@CafeLomez oh yeah! I wanna come here every year! It’s so relaxing! We could walk to the beach in less than five minutes from the place we are staying! I miss it so much! We left this morning

@@breeplayz3884 glad to hear you enjoyed it! It’s an amazing place and I want to go back so bad as well 😊

@@CafeLomez 😊😊😊

For sure haha I’ve now graduated up to 2 a day but I’m still an amateur at best.

Once you get comfortable using it and If you do back to back roasts you can probably do around 4 kg in an hour. But when starting off it’s more realistic to plan for doing around 2 kg per hour.

@@CafeLomez 4 kilo is good) now i have roaster Huky 500, with capacity about 450 grams and it takes an 30-35 min of medium roast to get a 1 kilo, it`s very slow))

@@JeemJohnes I usually roast 1,100 grams of coffee at a time and it takes around 12 minutes per batch.

@@CafeLomez 12 min to the end of first crack?

Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment. I paid $3,500 USD for it but you can find them used for less. I don’t know how you can buy one in Russia that is beyond my area of knowledge. I hope you are subscribed to the channel and will watch more videos!

@@CafeLomez thank you for your answer) 3500 $ is a great price. Our sellers ask something about 5000$ for it and 800$ for ventilation!

@@JeemJohnes I don’t know why it’s more expensive and maybe because it’s difficult to get it into your country.

@@CafeLomez yes, we have very much difficult, but we love to roast coffee and drink fresh roasted coffee. We have much succes in this in Russia and many good coffee roaster. Many people open the speciality coffee, light roast and we love to roast coffee for them)

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. If you have the same machine and can provide a video with a more efficient workflow I would like to see because I haven’t found a way to do any better.

@@CafeLomez ...from 2:30, a more efficient workflow. th-cam.com/video/Bw63vCBgveY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kZSW1MmMM1HJbk45

A key variable is the beans you are using. My current setup is a 5 second pre infusion, and the temp is 202. I let the machine warm up for around 15 minutes and also pre heat the cups under hot water if I don’t think they are warm enough from being on top of the machine. If I get bored of the taste or it isn’t the same with another bean I might change one or two variables like a shorter pre infusion time or adjust the temp to maybe 199 or a max of like 205.

There's no 1 size fits all. It depends on your taste and the coffee and roast you're using. There's no way around it and experiment. You get best results if you document your experiments, even if the measures and results you document are subjective.

@@TeknoPhil84 thanks for the comment and I agree with you. When the bean was harvested, when and how it was roasted, and your personal preference are major factors to the overall coffee experience.

Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment! It has the ability to do both. Sometimes it does a good job at detecting the crack but if you hear it first then you can input it manually. I hope you also enjoy some of my other videos.

@@CafeLomez That's awesome. I am planning to get a roaster; this is one of the roasters that I am assessing right now. Sure thing I will browse your other videos to learn and ask questions. Thanks again!

Thank you very much I appreciate the feedback! Hopefully you are subscribed the the channel and it would be great if you could check out some future content!

Thank you very much for the comment and I agree with you that Aillio did not provide a good answer. I hope their designers and engineers will do better with next versions so the users don’t have to deal with the chaffe falling out of the machine while roasting. I admit that when I turn the fan on higher settings (above 4) there isn’t as much that falls out of the front. So, they could have at least provided this information in the user manual but also fix the problem so it doesn’t happen at all.

Thank you for leaving the comment! I hope it helped you make your decision and that you will love whatever machine you decide on 😊

@@CafeLomezyes your video was very helpful, thanks. I think I’ll get the next one up with the dual boiler. )

@@overthetopblues if I had the money that’s the one I would have purchased as well.

Thank you!!!!

It’s 110v. Thanks for the comment, I hope you are subscribed to the channel and will check out more videos.

Thank you for the comment! I hope you’re subscribed to the channel. The bullet is more than enough for my truck. I wish I did more business and needed a bigger roaster. The bullet can easily roast 10 pounds of coffee every 2 hours or so. I’ve never needed more than 40 pounds in a week. So, I roast like 2-3 times per week and it’s super easy. If you think you’ll be closer to 100 pounds per week then I’d suggest getting something larger.

@@CafeLomez Thanks for the insight. 10 lbs would be about 20 bags so that seems like enough.

Thank you for the comment! That’s a good idea. I’ll try it out and see if it’s faster! I hope you’re subscribed to my channel and will check out some of the other videos!

Thank you for the comment! I agree it’s not that big of a deal to clean with a vacuum and use a spoon. I was just saying that it would have been nice if the engineers or designers thought of a way so the consumer didn’t need to do this. I appreciate your time and watching my video. I hope you are subscribed to the channel and will watch future content.

I would like to know how your coffee does on the food truck? How much do you have to roast to get through a day? @@CafeLomez

@@rgailit well today I only had 12 sales. So, I only used around 250 grams of coffee. My busiest day I had 70 sales and that required around 1500 grams of coffee. I also have bags of my roasted beans I sell on the truck and average selling about 3 bags a week that are 500 grams a piece. I hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you so much for the comment and questions. It might be easier if we talk about some of this through email or on the phone. It’s difficult to get through all of the questions here. My email is cafelomez@gmail.com

Thank you for the comment! I hope you are subscribed and will check out other videos. You can contact the coffee fox and see if they will share that info with you www.thecoffeefox.com/contact

I agree the Aillio bullet is overpriced. However, it’s not over $5,000 but that is US dollars I’m not sure about Canadian. It retails for around $3,500. The Yoshan 2kg roaster retails for $3,700 that is more expensive than the bullet but it seems like the Yoshan is larger and you get a lot more for your money.

Thank you very much for watching and leaving the comment and questions. I’ll try my best to answer. In general, if you are making 1-3 drinks in a 20-30 minute time window you will be fine with this machine. If you made like 5 lungos in a row, I don’t think the dream would be able to keep the temp stable. If you have ice cold water in the tank it will only impact the output temp if you run it for more than a minute. Again, if you are just making yourself a drink or one friend it will be fine. But this machine will not be able to handle a larger workflow. It takes about 20 seconds per degree after you change the temp on the PID. I’ve started pulling the shot and then having the machine steam the milk. It takes about 1 minute and I still have plenty of creama. I usually find the creama will be okay for up to 3 minutes or maybe a little longer. So, it’s okay if you’re making one or two caps. But if you wanted to do more it wouldn’t be logical and you’d want a dual boiler machine or something. I havent had any issues with my machine but I can’t speak for others. I only make a few drinks per day and make sure to clean it on a regular basis. If you use it more and don’t maintain it properly there is a good chance it will break. I hope this answers some of your questions and you are subscribed to the channel and will check out more videos.

Thank you for the comment and it might be true the functionality of the profitec go might have some advantages. However, I don’t think they are enough to justify how ugly the go is compared with the dream. For a home machine, style is very important especially when the machine takes up space usually on a kitchen counter. I would give the dream a score of 7/10 functionality but 10/10 for style. The go might have 8/10 functionality but its style is a 6/10 at best.

Thank you! They taste even better 😊

Thank you! 😊🥳

Thank you very much! 😊🥳

Thank you very much!

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I wish there was a way to engineer a little rotating arm to stir the beans that wouldn’t cost so much money. That and the bean deflector would make this a much better roaster.

That is a good idea! I bet that is less messy than having it pour out on the table and then wipe it away. I’ll try that next time. And if Aillio is listening…PLEASE fix this issue on your future roasters.

I would say both machines are pretty similar and if I could do it again would get the one at a better price. I think paying over $3,000 for this roaster was too much and if the sniper is less money would probably be better.

@@CafeLomezI wouldn’t say that they are similar in any way. The Kaleido does require a tablet or a computer to operate the roaster. The bullet, you can operate on it through the control panel and with the computer, you can record all the roaster recipes you made so far and playback if you choose to do so! Convenient! You can also run the roaster through the Rostime application from Aillio.

@@3rd-Wave_Rebel thank you very much for the comment. I think the two roasters do have similarities specifically regarding their prices, and roasting capacity. They are at least in the same ballpark. The bullet can be operated without a computer but it’s much better when connected and using the roastime app.

@@CafeLomez the bullet is a tad more expensive but totally worth it because I’m not forced to use a computer to run the roaster like the Kaleido sniper requires!

@@3rd-Wave_Rebel With a tablet or computer you can see the chart pattern and that should be how roasting get improved.

You’re welcome! Thank you for checking out the video and my channel. I hope you are subscribed and will spread the word 😊

@@CafeLomez subscribed and looking forward to more videos from you.

@@molinator2a thank you very much! I’ll be putting out more videos soon!

@CafeLomez excellent! I'd really like to see more on the bullet and the business side of things. My wife and I travel full time and I think it would be a cool thing to collaborate on a video for our main channel ( @andrewandsusannavanlife )

Thank you very much! I truly appreciate it! 😊👍🥳

Smeg is a good one. Do you have any videos?

Thank you so much for checking out the video and providing this feedback! I will try some of your tips and see if it helps. It would have been great if Aillio thought about this stuff a little harder before releasing this roaster for over $3,500. I don’t think the users should have to deal with this issue as well as having to manually stir the beans themselves while cooling. Besides these issues though it’s really good!

@@CafeLomez You're welcome, I agree the cooling set up isn't my favorite but it's definitely a nice machine for a sampler. My only problem is I wish they would of added a bean deflector.

@@LasVibrasCoffeeRoasters for sure it’s a nice machine and with a few improvements could be great.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you very much for the comment and I hope you are subscribed to the channel. In terms of functionality the two machines are almost identical. The next big difference in the ascaso line is the steel duo that has 2 heating elements. th-cam.com/video/gcdq-nmhENg/w-d-xo.html

Hello Michael thank you for the comment! The valve controls the max pressure the machine will reach. I usually set it around 11. But for the non pressurized baskets, the key to reach a desired pressure is grind size and dose amount. If there is a coarse grind and low dose it won’t reach a high pressure. However, if you have a very find grind and large does the pressure will be very high.

Thank you and yes it’s a 1970 Chevy p30 step van.

@@CafeLomez Long Life, Goid Health and Prosperity to You and Yours.

@@RaysLaughsAndLyrics thank you very much and same to you!

The Steel DUO PID is a great espresso machine that has 2 thermoblocks so you can brew and steam at the same time but it costs over $1,700. So, I would consider that machine to be in a higher budget category. If you want another suggestion for something around $1200 I would go with the Diletta Mio Espresso Machine.

@@CafeLomez what do you think of La Marzocco machine ? Is it worth it

@@woroud3823 I’m using the linea mini for my coffee truck. It’s very expensive (almost $6,000) and will need to last me a long time before I would say it’s worth it. But so far it’s been working great. If it keeps going for a few more years then I will say it’s worth it. They also just came out with a smaller version called the micra but it’s also pretty expensive.

@@CafeLomez is there a difference in terms of Coffe quality and the way it looks and how last it stay between ascaso and la marzocco ?

@@woroud3823 the beans, roast, grind, puck prep, are all very important factors that impact taste and overall coffee experience. The main thing with the machines is how consistent they are at temperature, pressure, etc. also how many functions they have, size, look, that sort of thing.

You’re very welcome and these are the Acme Evo Demitasse Cup of different sizes. I bought them from Seattle coffee gear www.seattlecoffeegear.com/acme-evo-demitasse-cup I hope you are subscribed to my channel and will check out other videos! Thank you and have a great day!

Oh yes diamonds are expensive these days and La Marzocco machines are a bargain comparatively haha

Hello and thank you very much for the comment and question! Yes, this machine heats up very quickly compared to the boilers. I have a linea mini and it takes around 15 minutes to heat up. To answer your question, I think the dream pid would be enough unless you are making more than 2 drinks at once that will require the steam wand. It will be annoying either have to hurry and steam multiple pitchers at once or to have to go back and forth to brew and steam that will take time. So, if you are usually only doing 1-2 drinks it will be okay. But if you want to do more than 3 in less than 10 minutes you should get the Steel Duo. I hope that answers your question and you will become a subscriber and check out more videos! Thank you 😊

@@CafeLomez thanks for the reply! Subbed and liked!

@@ziplepingouin1186 you’re welcome and thank you! Have a great day 😊

Yes, the dream has a single thermoblock heating element. My new machine is a Linea Mini that has a double boiler that allows me to brew and steam at the same time.

@@CafeLomez you went from ascaso thermoblock to a linea mini...holy upgrade batman!

@@KingMinosxxvi haha yes it’s a big upgrade! I use the linea mini in my coffee truck Cafe Lomez. It can make 50 drinks a day and as long as I keep it clean seems to handle it no problems. I’m going to make a video on it soon.
