Today was an exciting mail day. I haven’t had an espresso machine since selling my PID’s Silvia and a lever machine over ten years ago. Needed the money and then didn’t have counter space.
A few weeks ago a friend gifted me the new Minipresso GR2 and it performed better than it had any right too. lol. It gave me that taste of espresso and I started researching again. I was debating between the Robot and the Flair 58 but went with the Robot for the design and small footprint.
A week ago I bought the 1zpresso K-Ultra and it has been fantastic for pour over. Before I was using a Virtuoso for the last 13 or so years. For espresso I used to use a Mazzer Super Jolly, but now the hand grinder should be more than enough. I still have that behemoth of a grinder in storage.
I’m sure I’ll be back after I have time to use the Robot. Unfortunately I had to leave for work after opening the shipping box. I really missed geeking out over coffee. I used to be a member of the CoffeeGeek and Home-Barista!
