- After using the Odyssey Argos for 4 months, there is only one conclusion.
Will I sell this machine away?
No
Will this be my main daily driver for my espresso and milk based drink?
Yes
Why?
1) Fast heat up time
2) Stable temperature
3) Brew pressure gauge is responsive
4) One of the best steam wands that I have ever used
5) Easy maintenance
6) Small footprint
7 Swappable between direct lever and spring lever
8) Able to swap out the spring between 6, 7 and 8 bars
I've been borrowing the 078s from my friend for about a week (in place of my Craig Lyn HG-1 Prime) and enjoying using it with my argos. Nowhere near four months of use, but I'm enjoying it!
Like this setting! Good work and nice video.
It would be great if you can talk about the force required. (I have difficulty exerting enough force on the Cafelat Robot the get up to 8-9 bar, and am wondering if the Argos is any easier.) 🙏
I will try to demonstrate in another video!
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore Thank you! 🙏
@@AK27AK welcome!
Thanks for posting this video… Just wondering if you could expand or talk about the pros and cons of the black powder coat on the Argos…how is the durability of the powder coat, any wear points where powder coat is chipping under the stress and flex of machine when pulling a shot
good question!
I will follow up on a 2nd video talking about the wear and tear on the machine soon!
Would it be possible to fasten the lever machine to the table, so it doesn't move around the surface? I did that with the Faema Faemina, and it worked really well. As you probably noticed, the Faemina is very forgiving when pulling shots. How is this lever compared to the Faema? With these small lever machines, its like learning a new instrument...it takes time and patience, but the reward is great.
There's one M10 thread to secure it to the countertop! I just got my Argos delivered yesterday. I also have a third series faemina. I think the faemina is more forgiving in puck prep, but temp management is harder. Also the steaming power on the Argos is quite a feat. I'm pretty sure the Argos won't stand +60 years the same way as the faemina, though.
Yes it can be done.
Can’t wait for the update with the new configuration. Great video and new setup!
