Dave reviewed this for BB back in 2019 and as far as I know he cleaned it and put it back into the box. We are lucky enough to have a full review here:

Can’t believe this machine is still here. For anyone interested, please read Dave’s review. It seems to be a great machine.

I’m not going to lie, I’d love either this or the Domobar as they seem have a bit of character and I like to be contrarian, my only concerns would be for the outlay what would I do with it if something went wrong! They’re certainly not as ubiquitous as say a rocket, Lelit, profitec in 2026. Educate me if I’m wrong..

Tr90 I am no expert but I think on the whole the machines use fairly standard parts. So, the real question is, if I owned a Rocket, Lelit or Profitec and it broke where would I get it mended? Any competent coffee engineer ought to be able to get you up and running again matey

Tr90 outlay what would I do with it if something went wrong

It depends of what goes wrong. Anti-vac valve, probes, fuses, pump, group parts… Should be relatively simple to replace, with any machine.

If the brainbox, or any other component that is proprietary to the machine pops - they you are at the mercy of the manufacturer and a good centre - irrespectively of the make of the machine. Rocket? I wouldn’t buy one these days.

Shameless bump! This is the last one (I think) of Dave’s machines. Although not a large prescence in the UK I know Dave regarded this machine very highly. After review I think most of his suggested changes were updated via software (firmware) releases. I just do not know if Dave did this. Common sense says if he suggested the changes be made and Crem took this on board and released them, then Dave being Dave would have performed the upgrade to check them. All you need to do is switch it on and see if it is 1.13. or 1.14 but if you read through this thread I guess you can contact the author if you need a hand

I really do not follow why no one has snagged this machine yet. At the price it will be, someone will grab a bargain. Read all about in in Dave’s in depth review
