ACS Minima

Considering buying one of these machines. Bella Barista stopped selling them due to quality control issues in early batches, they say they won’t be stocking them again. I notice Black Cat coffee are selling them. Anybody got thoughts on the more recent machines as regards reliability

They are a mature product now…nothing notable above any other machine regarding reliability, in fact probably a little more reliable than some now. The machine is in it’s stable development phase, with everything tried and tested…one of the best times to buy into something if reliability is a concern.

Thanks for that. I like the specs of the machine and quite like the looks which I know puts some people off. I currently own a single boiler hx machine from ECM which I’ve had from new for 3 years and it has been faultless. Reliability is important for me

I’ve owned my Minima for 12 months (purchased from Black Cat Jan 21) and have not had a single (touch wood) issue. It just works and is super low maintenance.

I have a beta machine still going strong. I think it’s been 4 years now, no issues. With some there was a problem with grounding for the autofill but that has been resolved in the build.
