- Is this the best Nespresso machine (Nespresso compatible machine)? I reckon it's probably the sexiest... but what is it actually like to use? Let's find out, and let's try all the compostable Nespresso compatible pods from Grind while we're at it, because it would be rude not to. If you want to go straight to the main review of the machine just jump straight to: 5:46

Current Gear:
Quick note. I'm including all of this info because when I was starting out, I found it really difficult to figure out what gear to use, so I'm hoping if there's anyone looking to set up for TH-cam, this might help. If you need more help just email me, kev at coffeeblog.co.uk - if I don't know the answer I'll ask the professionals.
I'm listing the current setup first that the pros are using, and then my original more budget setup.
The pro stuff (new studio setup, with brickovenmedia.co.uk)
Blackmagic Pocket 4K amzn.to/3EnYAKJ
Samyang 35 mm T1.5 VDSLR II Manual Focus Video Lens amzn.to/3RB4Q4I

Glide Gear TMP100 Adjustable iPad/Tablet/Smartphone Teleprompter Beam Splitter Glass amzn.to/3C7hRgt
Promptsmart Pro bit.ly/3CAhXPl (tablet prompter app, includes voice tracking, very good! If you have it more than a couple of metres away from you, just use a lav mic with an extension so it can year you).
Aputure LS COB 300D II LED Continuous Fresnel Light 300D Mark II amzn.to/3SVy4ft
Aputure Accent B7C 7W RGBWW LED Smart Bulbs amzn.to/3RD0ABu

My budget setup (prior to working with Brickoven):
Canon M6 Mark ii amzn.to/3zoczes (quick note, knowing what I now know I wish I'd have gone for the pocket 4k, which you can get used from MPB for a few hundred more.
Blue Ember Mic (used mainly for voiceovers): amzn.to/3pT6WR1
RØDE VideoMic Pro: amzn.to/3DV7xHg (note, it's good for the £, but with what I now know thanks to the guys at Brickoven, I'd recommend the RØDE NTG4 amzn.to/3M8nIXy or RØDE NT5.
Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface: amzn.to/3e3qwFn
Amaran 100D LED Video Light, 130W 5500K (Key light): amzn.to/3oQYrqY
Aputure Light Dome SE Softbox: amzn.to/3ESdHcJ

Great video - really liking the humour you are adding to your videos.
Thanks Jan :-)
Hi. I’ve just ordered this as the bundle after watching your review. Fell in love with its looks straight away. 👍🏻
Its a great machine, I was using it during my band rehearsal on Sunday, its ace :-0
Stumbled across your channel and just placed my first order of coffee beans the 1kg choc brownie ones
Thanks Andy,
I hope you enjoy them :-)
I am very curious if there is a way to get the cerco caffè machine on the channel, also an pod machine but with their own design language. Pricie as well
Top review as always!
Thanks Del :-)
Can you use ground coffee on it?
Bought this machine - absolutely divine! the amount of compliments i got from it! Just overall love it
I was really taken with it Gavin, It looks so cool and compact.
Cheers
Kev
@@Coffee_Kev don't go to Sweden - you'll see 1000 of them ha
can you make all types of coffees with this machine
Thank you for the review
No problem 👍😎
I have this machine and I’m very happy with the build quality, over all looks and soooo happy it’s made of stainless steel.
I don’t think these are made by Grind, from what I found on the internet, they’re made by a Scandinavian company and Grind as well as other companies like Dualit just add their logo on the front. Not complaining though - love it, or should I say ‘love them’ as I also bought the milk frother at the same time - froths up like a dream! I used to have a Gaggia which was around £650 and to be honest, it wasn’t a patch on the Grind machine!!
The only down side for me, is the lack of coffee blends available. When I bought mine there were only about 4 blends available, but they’ve since brought out more choice, which I’ll have to try. 😊
Can you put Nespresso pods and ground coffee?
When in London I always visit Grind, the one on Beak Street next to Carnaby Street, and the big one at London Bridge, their espressos are probably the best I’ve had, Monmouth coffee at Borough Market is also exceptional ..
Cheers Raf :-)
This looks exactly like my machine, which is a Williams Sonoma brand! I've had it for about 5 years, and it takes the nespresso type pods. Williams Sonoma doesn't sell it anymore for whatever reason, but it works fine and, again, looks EXACTLY like this. Having written that, I don't really use it. I've tried many, many pod variations, and none taste like true espresso. They may be fine if you're someone who adds sugar or flavors or creamers and syrupy stuff. That's fine here and there, but for every day, I like plain strong black espresso, so I'm researching actual espresso machines. It's quite a rabbit hole and so much to learn! 🙄
You are right. Grind just repackaged machines that have been around for over five years. Here’s a video from six years ago th-cam.com/video/NvHuv24Q4uM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Kev, does the machine have settings for lungo as well as espresso.
Yeah it has two buttons that you simply press and hold to reprogram 👍
Thank you for the review
Hey Kev, I have recently bought a Kg of your ‘Chocolate Brownie’ beans which I am working my way through :) in my Bialetti Moka pots……. So……. are you gonna do your own pods?
Cheers Grahame 🙂 Hope you're enjoying the chocolate brownie blend? My favourite blend that, I drink it every day. Re pods, it's not something I've looked at doing just yet, we've just completely relaunched Cworks.co.uk recently so there's been a lot to do, but I wouldn't rule it out in the future as long as we can make them fully compostable and as long as we can do it in a way that doesn't require huge bulk so we can keep them nice and fresh. Cheers, Kev.
@@Coffee_Kev Please make pods!!
Kev, have you tried the Opal machine yet? 🤔
not yet, will do tho
I'm so tired of Nespresso plastic machines!! I just got my GRIND today, I'm in the USA and it arrived with the proper voltage and grounded power cord. OMG I freeking LOVE IT! I have 5 espresso machines in my kitchen, sending the Nespresso Creatista Plus back to Amazon. The GRIND goes with my other prosumer machines and makes fantastic Nespresso coffee when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to fire up the E61 beast.
Glad you are enjoying the GRIND Satine :-)
@Satine_Moisant hi! Where did you order your Grind machine? I’m in US. Thanks! 😊
@@kali369 It was on the the big "A" :)
Thank you @Satine_Moisant! I wish it wasn’t so expensive on A! 😮
@Satine_Moisant. Hi! I was wondering how long is the warranty for? “A” shows 2 year guarantee and Grind’s website says 1 year warranty. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the review. Curious why the cover has a question of sexist nespresso machine? :)
Oops sexiest 😂 never mind ignore me
Hi Ellie,
I am referring to the look and quality of the design of this machine, It looks expensive, great quality and has great attention to detail. Its made to look like a little espresso machine.
Its something new that doesn't look like one of the more well known pod machines.
Cheers
Kev
Sexiest not Sexist 😂
Can anyone who owns this machine tell me if theirs evacuates water into the pod bin during cleaning. Like, a fair bit of water?
@coffeekev?
Hi Angela,
I would get hold of Grind, There might be a fault and your machine , hopefully your machine will still be under warranty.
Cheers
Kev
@@Coffee_Kev yeeeeah, I tried that. They say it's normal. What a shame, I wanted to love this machine.
Evacuate. Such a great word

Does this machine have a bf? Asking for a friend...
