Love your sense of humour Ryde - keeps me coming back. Oh and your reviews are also 5-star. Keep up the good work! BTW your video openings are the best on any channel I have seen.
I spent $15 on my machine at a thrift, and added about $150 in upgrades and whatnot. I certainly hope the espresso coming from this new LM is a hundred times better than what I’m making
Absolutely Madness...! Dont get me wrong this machine is incredible. Awesome features and technology but for that price and not able to install it yourself I will stay with my San Remo YOU ;) Even looks a little like this machine and offers simular options like pressure profiling.
Well, let me start by saying that I can’t afford it. Even if I could, it’s not my style. I make my espresso using the Cafelat Robot paired with the Niche Zero and love it.
This seems a cynical marketing exercise by LM. There is a rate of diminishing returns. For the home, a Lelit Bianca or similar is more than enough for most people, if you want to flow profile, or a Decent for the real tinkerer. How many coffees do we realistically make each day at home? For me, 4 or so, including a pour over. The pandemic created many home baristas overnight, and the FOMO factor is getting out of control. Be happy with what you have, develop your barista skills, share with friends and family, and enjoy your hobby!
People will buy this because they can afford it and want it. It's like a $500k automatic watch that's actually less accurate than a $30 watch. I'm honestly surprised it's taken so long to make home machines this expensive. Keep in mind, the people that buy this may very well have an HOA that's bigger than all of our expenses combined🙃
Im planning to open a small specialty coffee shop. Also planning to buy a high end machine. I think if its a good single group machine is fine in my situation so between these 3 which one is the best. Kvdw spiritello, leva x or strada x
Let’s say that you win the coffee bar sweepstakes and can have the ultimate bar added to your home, turnkey. It includes a vacation to Italy, and you return to enjoy your remodel. Money is not a factor. I think the presenter is right. I’m having them design me a full modbar system. The result is small (above the counter) and elegant, with a commercial quality result. By contrast, the new Strada would simply be too big for any normal kitchen, especially if you have cabinets. Even the GS3 has a huge footprint. I’ve got a Mini, and even it is pushing things. A Micra is better for most (though I enjoy having the large steam tank of the Mini for Thanksgiving guests.) A modbar setup would be super classy in a normal, high end home. The Strada X1 would be not classy and would only work well in a very large dedicated space. Now, where can I sign up for this sweepstakes?
they essentially force you to pay for an installation you can do yourself. likely significant heat up time impractical for home use. direct plumb only seen in some other home machines that are way more practical.
I got an ecm synchronika with flow control plumed in with a bwt bestmax pro filter and a 64 mm flat burr grinder. I can do anything i want with this setup, and I've been to some fancy cafes and they cant beat my coffee.
The main problem with Strada X1 is that machine has no built in water tank. It needs external water source connection. That’s why I consider to buy either La Marzocco Leva X1 or new Slayer Single Steam
wait Slayer and KvDW has doing that for years for their single group machine (there's a reason they don't call it home machine) and here I am knowing someone in my circle that have both of them in 1 house (yes a Speedster and a single group Slayer along with dozen of grinders and 2 Porsches) proofing there's a market for the stupidly rich guy
If this is for the home it's another piece of hardware for people with more money than sense. 😅 I do admire people that can operate an espresso machine uncaffinated, 6am Dane is borderline a zombie.
oh but are you a sparky or do you just know what you're doing and know that it's fine? I had a 2-group San Marino in my laundry once and they made me run a completely separate circuit just for that and it was only 15amps. But in Australia we have super strict electrical laws.
@ There are splitter boxes designed to only allow one appliance draw power at a time. Originally designed for sharing the washer/dryer circuit with EV charging. Works out in my case since I drink coffee in the morning and do my laundries at night.
Whilst at my home. Cancelling a single shot on a Dedica, switching to steam a couple of seconds then pulling a shot thinking that's high level pre-infusion!
A dedicated lab cupping machine for a lLa Marzocco roastery chain and idiots with both too much money and time on their hands thinking it really is “just money” between them and the barista he hates to pay everyday is who this machine was designed.
Nothing better than a proper commercial machine at home.😃

😅 thank you!! It's comments like these that keeps me motivated to continue improving. 🙏👌

I would be very happy to accept a donation from La Marzocco. Also, if they could pay for the utility bill for the next 5 years.

Good point!
Not fun enough 😂

Yes very true!
In this price category, I’m going with a KvdW Spiritello. Everything I want, nothing I don’t.
Absolute insanity!

For that kind of money I want one that you see in coffee shops.

So it’s a Bengle for 3 times the price?

For me, plumb-in is actually a benefit. No water sitting around in plastic waiting to mold or eventually absorb PFAs.
For that kind of money, I want 4 seats and a steering wheel, surrounded by 2 tons of metal!

I might buy two. Bargain!

"this is going to cost you a first born child" LOL
220V with NEMA plugs isn't that difficult to accommodate. I ran a LEVA X1 over the washer/dryer circuit with a splitter. No biggie.

34A... I set my Tesla to charge at 24A😅
only 30-40 coffees/day?
I'm waiting on loan approval so I get the 3 group version in my coffee store.
I think I'll stick with my old BES 900 Dual Boiler for the time being. I could spend that 20K on a new kitchen (and espresso machine)
I am going back to my Dedica. I don't have a spare kidney to sell to buy this.

Mass base profiling is not what you explained in your video. What you explained was "smart saturation"
$20k USD.
A dedicated lab cupping machine for a lLa Marzocco roastery chain and idiots with both too much money and time on their hands thinking it really is “just money” between them and the barista he hates to pay everyday is who this machine was designed.
I think if you buy one of these, you've kind of lost the plot
where can I get a cup like yours?
It's a 'Marbled Gem Cup' by Milly Dent. Most resellers are in Australia, but the product page says they take international orders with a request.
@@borbetomagus thanks!
Meticulous 😎
Home excavator or bulldozer pls. Poor capitalists need a new yacht
Completely unnecessary.
my non branded $3 moka pot do better Coffee than this Italian hyper espresso machine
