May be launching on Kickstarter Mid March and at USD $1.5k. A hybrid with a little bit of Decent and a little bit of Strietman. https://youtu.be/N-dxaLZTfGc At that price I'd probably back it. With four temperature sensors, built in scale, stop by weight, and more, it looks very well thought out. Seems to be a fully functioning working prototype which is encouraging. I would like to see a dedicated tablet with stand (like the Decent) on top to avoid having to hold it by hand. But that is easy enough with a tablet stand. Tom like.

That looks good! I was talking to a friend yesterday about something similar - I haven't seen this before, mind - Where for a compact version of the Nurri or the V Evo, you could have one boiler holding water under pressure for steam purposes. Then a heat exchanger would fill the group, but would also mix cold water with it. As the group is heated and with a sensor in it, the user could see the temperature of the water inside the piston in real time. Once it reaches the set temperature and it's stable, the user can simply release the lever and pull the shot -this would then make the brew boiler redundant. I'm no engineer, so I don't even know if that's even a possibility. But it would be a really neat machine. I'd be all over it.

@"tompoland"#p36554 Forgive me mate but where is the Strietman bit??

@"Amberale"#p36560 The group (that you fill in manually with a kettle) resembles the Strietman, in my opinion.

@"MediumRoastSteam"#p36561 Have you got an approximate time in the video? I couldn't be stuffed watching them carry on for 30 minutes with a phone/tablet.

> @"tompoland"#p36554 I would like to see a dedicated tablet with stand (like the Decent) on top to avoid having to hold it by hand. But that is easy enough with a tablet stand. As an accountant, I applaud their effort to make their software compatible with all the mainstream tablets and thereby avoid the not insignificant cost of providing a dedicated tablet and so keeping the overall price lower. I like it a lot; but not having a boiler, it is not able to do steam, which could be a downer for those liking milky drinks?

> @"jrling"#p36578 which could be a downer for those liking milky drinks? Good point. Definitely a downer for milk coffee drinkers. Like the Strietman or Flair. Espresso only. Some buy separate milk heater/frothers but it's not ideal. PS different makes/models of tablets can be used with the Decent too.

@"tompoland"#p36580 Can you imagine a world where you would sell your CT2 to own this?

@"Amberale"#p36583 not with the Decent and a Nurri sitting on my bench either side of the Streitman. Not trying to be a smart xxrse, it's just that the Meticulous wouldn't really bring anything extra to the bench. It really does look terrific and if I didn't have the Decent it would be seriously tempting. All of which is to say that I've thought about it more since my original post and I won't be backing it. Having had a lot of machines and grinders come and go, I'm going to settle down for a while, I hope. (Other than a couple on pre-order being the Argos and x-Bloom 😀 )

Its the age old - get a discount and fomo - rather than wait and see the product on the shelf ready to buy…..

Anyone Noticed the videos being pumped out for the meticulous from E L Bryant all of a sudden…2 in 24 hours. I wonder if they are going for another funding round?

DavecUK You cynic!

I haven’t seen a decent pour from one of the Met videos yet.

Hoping its just user error.

I’m normally the first one to jump on board with these projects but I haven’t with the Met because I still have concerns about temperature stability. I haven’t yet seen anything that has set my mind at ease. On the contrary, I’ve probably seen five or so videos where the temperature was commented on with phrases like “just ignore the temperature, this particular unit needs calibrating”.

Anyhow, naturally I wish them every success but this is one where I’ll hold off until they are out in the wild and we have folk here for example who can report on their experiences.

Tim Wendleboe light roast in a Wafo basket. That pull is fairly normal for that combo.

Cuprajake

Raja123 agree id be happy with that tbh 😂🪣

Cuprajake

any news on this?

Raja123

You might wanna sign up to the EAF Met channel, if you’re legit interested in it:

They’re ironing out the final stuff, apparently.

Raja123

Raja123 its a live chat, so the implied year would be this one, heh.

I’m confused…

I don’t know when “Update 18” was posted, nor when the live chat happened. But… today is September 21st. Therefore either “Update 18” happened a week ago or more, or there are currently 50 units built or very close to being built. Or… it’s September next year.

Cuprajake

nah came away from there too many wankers

Raja123

Bigger pond, I suppose. The character of people is common everywhere, though.

dfk41

Raja123 50 units by September 12th……he does not say what year though…….I wonder how many actual orders they have……how much money they have spaffed up against the wall in order to make 50 units…..how much the management pay themselves (where does thaat come from?)…….for all those who backed the project, I really hope that it comes through

Raja123

dfk41 its a live chat, so the implied year would be this one, heh.

Cuprajake

found them to be very friendly when they wanted something, then turn very aggressive when you dont agree or tell them what they want to hear,

helped a few on there with the duo only to be called a cunt, so now i dont bother..

Raja123

Cuprajake same everywhere, man.

Raja123

MediumRoastSteam Have you got a unit on order? If so, you’d be better of clearing up your confusion directly on EAF.

MediumRoastSteam

Raja123 - no. I don’t. I don’t want one. 👍

I’m just going by what’s been reported here. Could you please tell me when “Update 18” was issued? This would clarify a few things.

Edit: no need. Update was issued September 7th. Hopefully there should be a new update soon about the shipment.

Raja123

Ahh , that kind of interest. I see.

Maybe you can bookmark the site or whatever, and check in periodically.

MediumRoastSteam

Raja123 I’m not sure what you are on about here. I’m just trying to get a realistic picture of the project delivery considering it had plenty of speculation and setbacks. No hidden agenda. I quite like the idea of the meticulous and I am a fan of innovation - but it’s not the machine for me. I like milk based drinks.

Putting an image (rather than a link, considering it’s in the public domain) is not the best as others can’t see other critical bits of information (E.g.: date of the post). That’s all. For instance, if the post date was yesterday, then the dates would be for the next year. But the post was before he 12th, so we now know it’s for this year.

If you have pre-ordered one, I wish you good luck, and would definitely like to hear your feedback. 👍

Raja123

I haven’t ordered one, hence my advice that if curiosity is really that passionate and intense, going to the main source is better for staying up to date on progress.

MediumRoastSteam

Raja123 if curiosity is really that passionate and intense,

It certainly isn’t for me, not for the Meticulous at least. 😊 I actually had forgotten about it, but your post reminded me of it, and it’s good to know it’s coming to fruition.
