Great summary of home machines. I find heat exchange is unreliable and
challenging for the amateur. Two boilers (dedicated to espresso and
dedicated to steam) is safer. ο»Ώ
@ericsummey95 If we make it to 1000 videos, I’ll be in that one π – Kat
Thanks! Our Product Manager has actually just added Elektra to our research
list. -Kaylie
I second @ericsummey95 π do you have to temperature surf on heat
exchangers? π
@lewys258 flushing is usually needed for HX machines as they usually run hot
@SeattleCoffeeGear 333 is a nice round number, as well…. π
Me too, the Cellini looks great
@joeldamianicigan We’re looking at getting a test machine by early Aug
(fingers crossed) to play more with it than we have at the product shows.
Can’t wait! – Kat
@SkylineToTheSeaAndMe Hx machines have two separate water delivery systems
and dual pumps so you can brew/steam simultaneously; you cannot do that
with a single boiler. We don’t have a combo super/semi auto machine. They
don’t exist. – Kat
@peanutking242 More along the lines of they have been sitting for a long
time cycling — on E61’s specifically. Then a flush will pull cool water
through the Hx, heat it and you’re ready to go. – Kat
@joeldamianicigan Yeah, from the limited amount of time I played with it,
it seems pretty cool, but haven’t put it through its paces and it was a
prototype model, not production. Looking forward to testing the real thing
later this summer! – Kat
@YoungJim409 Well, that’s great to hear! I try to shoot with limited
editing in mind, or plan the shots for ease in slice/dice later, so thanks
for the feedback that you don’t notice it — probably the best compliment
for editing, right? π – Kat
Glad you gals mentioned the prices this time around.
The Breville BES900XL looks like a nice machine although it’s preinfusion
process seems kinda complex. From the YouTube videos, I seem to prefer the
passive preinfusion of the other less complicated Rocket machines.
@etherealrhythm Are you stalking me?!?!? π – Kat
Hahahaha — I love love handles, though, but prefer the Cellini … what
does that say about me?!?!?! π – Kat
What is a heat exchange machine? or rather what is the difference between a
machine with a heat exchanger and one without? Looking for a
semi-automatic. Also how much is the last one that is both semi and
superautomatic? Thanks, -John
@fastfolky OMG That’s what I do! It bothers me not knowing though lol.
Curious to hear what you think of the new Breville BES900XL when it hit the
US Market. Supposed to compete with the likes of the Rockets and Giottos…
@YoungJim409 You can catch body parts here and there, but I try to keep it
in check (I edit these videos, too, you know…) π – Kat
@SeattleCoffeeGear Haha, not at all. Well, maybe just a little bit. OK, no,
that was a joke. Seriously? It took me all of about two minutes to find a
picture of you after I first found this glorious channel and began to step
up my coffee education. I saw a few comments about how you don’t make
appearances in videos and just Googled something like ‘seattle coffee gear
kat’. I think I ended up on the website? Anyway, there was a quasi-picture
of you in the reflection of some stainless steel gizmo?
@ericsummey95 it turned into a hobby on the side while watching…trying to
spot what Kat looks like. I think I saw some pretty long hair once, I also
think she is a brunette. For some reason not seeing the person that is
talking creates this strange obsession of looking in reflections of shiny
machines to catch a glips of her but when i think of it I really don’t care
what she looks like..it’s just the fact that I don’t know that started it.
I’m in a happy marriage Kat, so no worries! π
@ericsummey95 I know what she looks like! Muahaha.
Once again, great video. Is there a reason you guys don’t carry Elektra
machines?
With the 2 rocket’s make your choice depending on if you like love handles
or not π
@etherealrhythm *GASP* Not fair! LOL
@etherealrhythm I know, I’m just teasing. I have been online since the
early ’90’s and there is a lot of evidence of that! I am always surprised
more folks who want to see what I look like don’t search around because
there are various and sundry photos out there, especially from my wayward
youth! :O – Kat
Kat, I know you said you won’t appear in any of the videos, but we’ve been
hearing you’re voice for so long but don’t have a clue what you look like.
@thePowerPlant We generally don’t because they fluctuate, but these prices
have remained pretty static. – Kat
