I’ve been wanting one of these for a few months now and managed to pick one up in the roughly 17 minutes they were available at Cafuné before selling out again. I’ve only pulled one shot so far and I messed up the grind size pretty bad but thought I’d try anyway, and it still turned out pretty good! I know this will make incredible espresso once I dial in grind size, I just need to get there first. It was also a genuine pleasure to use. I’m completely obsessed with this machine now and am so excited to play with it some more.

    That’s definitely planned in the future. What I’m really excited for is putting hats/headpieces on it. Santa hat for Christmas, bunny ears for Easter, that sorta thing.

    I hope it goes without saying that you are now legally required to post follow up pictures. It's the law

    Thank you very much! I didn't know about this great, wonderful device!
    The attitude is dear... brilliant... lovely...

    An uncompromising minimalist design built to professional standards. This machine is constructed entirely out of premium materials, primarily stainless steel, meaning it is completely plastic free by a few silicon seals. And so, remarkably robust and honestly engineered to last. The robot feels like industrial art...

    The Cafelat robot isn't just a machine. Honestly, it's a statement on your kitchen bench.

    My grinder isn’t great at the espresso range but I’ve got a new one coming in soon (DF54) that should hopefully work much better. No idea when that’s supposed to arrive.

    How in the shite did it take less than a year for the DF?? Are you magic, or something?

    Seriously, though. How is it? I mean, I know the hype, I've read the user reviews and all, but is it actually as good as it sounds in paper?

    I got it from dfgrinders.ca, they were great. Lots of communication. They also offer an upgraded red titanium burr set that I got which is really nice. Sort of a budget SSP option in the 54mm size.

    I’ve only done 3 grinds with it so far but it’s been good. It’s really heavy, in a good way. I don’t have it dialed in yet, so it’s hard to comment on cup quality, but build quality is really good. It definitely feels very premium.

    I made a post earlier this evening on this comm where I go into it a bit more, you should check it out.

    I only posted it a few hours ago and the picture isn’t too dissimilar to my previous post so it’s probably pretty easy to miss.

    Still looking for that manual espresso machine for me. That Roboto is a little too 60s for me. If only the picopresso could sit on a cup..

    Funny, the design is what initially drew me in. I love retro designs, I’m currently trying to convince my wife to make our entire house decor a mix of Fallout and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Once I did more research on this brewer and found out it also makes some of the absolute best espresso ever, it cemented my need to own it. So far, it lives up to the hype. This thing is awesome.
