I'm a bit of a coffee addict so I ordered the OPAL with high expectations based on your "review". In retrospect its not a review at all.. its promotional video masquerading as something else. Fortunately I kept the packing so the machine will be returned to you for credit forthwith. Shame because I was really excited about it and would have become a regular subscriber. I now feel I've been misled
To those complaining of the quality of the “espresso” this machine yields… a 25gm shot came through in about 15-17 seconds. Way too fast. It’ll be under extracted and awful.
Machine arrived yesterday and I'm beyond disappointed. The build quality is really poor.. esp compared with any the Nespresso machines. It drips water steadily when turned on and the coffee tastes AWFUL. Thin , tasteless and devoid of Crema. Don't be fooled by the marketing bull..
I couldn’t agree less with you Graham, we use this for a quick coffee in the morning before our run and it’s perfectly fine, compared to our Sage Oracle of course it doesn’t come close but it’s perfectly suitable for a quick espresso and the crema was fine, this is a cheap machine and does it’s job.
@@dylandavies8880 It's just shots, but that is how lattes are made, I don't have a milk frother for it but if you had one you could in turn make a latte.
Very professional presentation and most informative.

Where can I get the U Press from? Thanks.
A 10-minute video? What a waste of time.

@@ragetobe Can this machine be used for latte’s or just shots of espresso?
