    you should do a review on Flair neo (with the bottomless Porter filter), cafflano krinder, and the nano foamer all in one video to make a late, using those 3 devices, they are all kickstarter devices that are much lower Priced then the competition so it would be interesting to see how good of an espresso drink you can make for the money vs other machines.

    I'm tempted by a two X 1 group set up too. I run a cafe in an area of natural beauty and on a busy day have continuous queue's for hours on end with my 2 group GB5. On a rainy day I might only serve 60 customers. Running from a generator the ability to only run 1 group on quiet days is appealing. Has anyone else tried this set up?

  • @lukebm5555
    @lukebm5555 3 роки тому +3

    Been using one for two months. Had the motherboard replaced twice, leaks water from underneath, the buttons and steam actuators are hard to push/don’t activate when pushed and it loses steam pressure if you use the hot water. It’s not fun to work on. It does have some good points (e.g. cleaning cycle) but overall not a fan.

    • @raluca1426
      @raluca1426 2 роки тому

      Same experience here. The button that activates the steam wand is a nightmare and you can easily end up over stretching your milk. Water leakage is a real issue too. The black eagle is so much more user friendly.

      I highly recommend the "Ascaso Steel Uno PID" even tho it's quite over your budget. It will get you all the features you need. But if you're really bound to your budget you should check out "Lelit". I also recommend to always look for machines with built in PID, because it will get you the most stable temperatures and a lower power consumption. If you have any further questions just ask, im glad to help.
