MediumRoastSteam Cuprajake The machine of this cost should really come with two portafilters, I’ve had to buy another which was £50 Are the PF proprietary or are they standard E61? £50 for a good portafilter, hopefully OEM, is not THAT bad. A lelit bottomless portafilter will set you back £54 at Bella Barista. A Profitec one £49. Good to hear you are enjoying the machine Jake!
Cuprajake No the decent pf works out around £100 they are slightly different so I had to buy this https://bellabarista.co.uk/products/lelit-coffee-slide-porta-filter-double-vip-line?_pos=2&_psq=lelit+porta&_ss=e&_v=1.0
MediumRoastSteam Cuprajake - ha! the one that comes with the Elizabeth. I’m not a fan of that handle, I have to say! 🙂
Cuprajake MediumRoastSteam No me either but it comes with 3 ims basket so it saved me another £20 in buying one of those That’s how it locks in. It’s perfect for the Mrs and her drinks. Myself I’ve been mainly on the Pullman 876 with bottom paper and top screen I sold the SSP MP to coffee jack off YouTube.
Teaboy Cuprajake I don’t know about the sound, not sure if the video amplifies, it sounds like an idling diesel 😂
Cuprajake Amplifies a bit but there not quiet machines, but the pros far out weigh any concerns over noise This is probably the best machine I’ve had, and that’s really saying something because my Evo 1 held that crown, and by a high margin to the others I had owned
Teaboy Cuprajake that makes sense then, though if you were to get another evo, would it be a 1 or 2 and why?
Cuprajake i had an evo 2, that was a $hite experience have a read back a little, atm i cant hand on heart recommend the evo2.
dfk41 Cuprajake Jake, I cannot remember all of the details now, but the Evo was not the only machine that you have returned?
Adrianmsmith dfk41 I love the Evo2 (no safety system) but have no luck with the lottery 😎 Added a few scratches to the drip tray…. Getting there.
Igm45 Dusk yeah but not hugely - I have a decent and have tried both methods. Without a filter they are wetter but still come out clean
