  • Yes the are local. I like supporting locally and ethically sourced as much as possible.

    I’ve been reading about people modifying them on forums and briefly considered adjusting, but decided against it. I was only «allowed» this machine because of the nice and easy to use UI. The missus doesn’t share my enthusiasm for playing with minutiae details, so I have to stick with pre weighing beans before grinding and fiddling with my own settings. She wants a full hopper and a button called Americano.

    Thanks for the advice and you taking the time though mate!
    Out of curiosity; what machine did you end up with?





  • Then what is the point?

    Why are they not allowed to create a good service and profit?
    Why are the competition unable to take marketshare with lower fees?

    It feels as if you have this number, >billion, makes a company evil. Why?

    I agree with you that no single person needs a billion, but having earned it doesn’t make them bad. They innovate and move everything forwards. I’d much rather see my money with Valve than with EA, Activision Blizzard or any of the other faceless giants out there.


  • Ok I just did a quick weight test and the difference is massive!

    The store bought beans are marked 6/7 darkness and gave me close to 60 ml of volume.
    The subscription without marking gave me <50 ml for the same weight. That’s allmost a 20 % difference in weight even though they look very similar!

    I’ll do another test with an exact number of beans to confirm, but I’ve learned a lot already. Maybe my 1:3,5 ratio wasn’t half bad after all and what to actually expect from such a light roast.

    This is cool stuff! Much obliged again!
