@ctietze Indeed! Several times in the process of choosing my first machine, I made deliberate choices to avoid smart features like that. Like, I knew I didn’t want a machine with a touch interface, which basically ruled out fully automatic machines and the most interesting Breville machines. Also, the La Marzocco Micra wasn’t a possibility because it has Bluetooth.
@ctietze Maybe. I'm not ready to tear open my brand new machine to mod it. Not really interested in smart features either, honestly. I feel like I have enough tech in my life. It's fine for me to keep espresso brewing fairly low-key, at least for now 😄
@simonbs my LELIT p62t is currently in maintenance (aka dismembered next to my desk) and I’m starting to fear that if you keep posting about this machine I’ll end up buying it 🙈 !
@simonbs I just replaced my 10-year-old Rancilio with a newer (refurb) model for about $600, but boy does that look nice. Would love the double boiler function as well. Maybe next decade…
@passim Rancilio also seems like a great brand making beautiful machines! Strictly speaking mine isn’t a dual boiler. It’s a dual thermoblock. True espresso enthusiasts drown upon that but is great for my needs.
@madmaxbln I’ve only had it for 48 hours so it’s a little too early to draw conclusions but so far I enjoy it very much. It does all I need and more than that. Plus, I really like its aesthetics which matters a lot to me.
