Thanks for your time reviewing this nice looking machine!!
Excellent review by the way!!
Any idea when the final version of this machine will be available?
They've said that first shippings of the final machine will start end of November so everyone gets them before the holidays,
This was a very detailed and informative review. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Glad it was helpful! 💛
Where can I buy this espresso machine?
Great review! Seems like it ticks all the boxes on my wish list but long term reliability is a big question mark, especially considering it has so many features.
That’s right! Only time will tell with this new machine
Amazing video! Ive a question! I need to decide against Meraki or Sage Barista Pro?
Great video Liz!!! Such a beautiful machine 😎👍🏽☕️
Thanks! 🙏🏼
If the quality lasts this is totally something to recommend to people even if its not personally my style. Personally I need my high clarity flat burrs and when it comes to pulling the shot: levers in my view are better than pumps.
But I would love to recommend something like this over a Breville to newcomers.
Agreed! Only time will tell in terms of long lasting quality!
Thanks for your review :)
Great video!!
Thanks! 😊
The potential danger of the screen breaking, and thus, enabling everything unusuable is a big worry for me, although I really really like everything else about this machine that there is, and am seriously considering buying!
To mitigate this risk, do you know if there will be a warranty offered with the machine, and is there a good customer service with Meraki?
Lastly, if I commit to the crowd funding now, will i get the final completed product, or just the latest prototype?
Thanks a lot for your thoughts!!
2 year warranty included
@@MadaToji Thanks :)
How long is the warmup on this machine?
It usually takes about 3 mins to be ready to brew and an additional 45 secs to a minute to be ready to steam.
Sorry thats not a review, just anothet „first look“ what about the important aspects like temperature stability? And why does none of these influencers note the most obvious drawback: how to brew 2 cups of coffee with the round(!) scale platform?
I respect your opinion on this. And I can kind of agree with it. Considering that the brand sent prototype units and provided limited time to create and post content, many things can slip any creator’s video.
Although I don’t mention it in the video, I think it’s an evident design drawback! I’ve been able to pull two shots using espresso glasses, but there’s no way if you pull on actual mugs.
I hope that the final unit addresses a lot of the drawbacks in these prototypes, and hopefully I get my hands on one to review more in-depth. But I don’t think this specific one will be addressed 😅
Ligre Youn next please! :)
Very nice looking machine but a touch-screen is an immediate no from me.
That’s fair!
This thing looks like a miniature of an industrial plant.
Well, now I can't unsee it!
This machine is awesome🤌🏼🤌🏼
It truly is!
