MediumRoastSteam a similar line of thinking led me to give it a try. I have the Strietman that has no steamer, the Decent which doesn’t really shine at steaming and the Nurri which has a reasonably powerful steamer but I don’t really want to have to turn it on just for milk. And with Meticulous being a twikle in my eye, I thought it made sense to investigate a seperate source of steaming. So far I’m pretty happy with it. Not a massive footprint compared to an espresso machine but you certainly know it’s on the bench.

      tompoland I’d also be interested to see a video. I rarely if ever drink milk drinks, and have been looking at machines like the Puristika for when I do upgrade, but it would be nice to offer family a cappucino/latte when they visit.

      If it’s hands-free so that even I can’t screw things up, even better. Would be interested to know how well it works with non-dairy milk.

        Ignore me - the wpm Is available here but is double the price of the dualit. But looks to have temp controls which the dualit does not.

          Ultimate Stoater and Pure Magic from UnorthodoxRoasters arrived this morning. I’ll need to decode their ‘clever’ roast date labels to decide which is up first, and should be on to one of them at the weekend.

          Edit: Just noticed that ‘Pure Magic’ seems to be already four weeks past roast date, which is disappointing. Unless I’ve read something incorrectly. I appreciate they don’t mention roasting to order on the website.

          I do get frustrated at limited communication, as all I got was a single email after ordering, stating: “Your order will be packed and shipped in 3-5 working days.” so I had no idea they were even expected today. Their site sign-up/login also seems completely broken for me, though I’ll be in touch with them about that.

          Not a great ‘first’ experience, though I’m hopeful (having seen comments on the forum) that my coffee tasting experience will improve things overall.

          MattH The externals looks the same between the Dualit and the WPM which makes me wonder if the internals are the same too. My WPM is a version 2 so maybe the Dualitmodel is simply an earlie model. The shape is and dimensions are identical, the water tank is identical and even the milk jug that comes with it is identical. The temperature control appears to be the main feature difference.

              DavecUK seems like it. It may be that the biggest difference is that the WPM model has adjustable temperature. And maybe a bit more pressure (WPM promote v2 as having more power).

                Well I have taken a punt on the nanofoamer pro kickstarter - will be interesting to see how it performs against standard milk frothers!

                First purchase through the UK Greens Buying Collective came today. It’s a natural Ethiopian (Bekele Kecharo Murago) from Falcon, with cup score 87 and a list of notes that reads “lavender, mango, strawberry, vanilla and bergamot finish, very floral and delicate”. Not what I usually get, but after dipping my toe and enjoying a natural Rwanda, I’m hoping this one will also be a success.

                First batch already done and resting (had quite a bit more chaff than I’m used to, and I probably went too dark). Buying experience with the collective was great.


                  OldGregg havent forgotten you. How does Saturday sound?

                  I’ll demo both dairy and oat.

                  (I need someone to hold the phone).

                    That’s great. I got no reply when I messaged the group. Thought it had gone. I’ll have to try it again.
