CoyoteOldMan thanks for the build. I just wanted to understand the ballpark. I’m a chemist not a physicist, hence why I showed my working for those more appropriately trained.

    So I measured. Doing it the normal way added 31g of water to 120g of milk. Purging before heating added 25g for the same amount of milk, so definitely an improvement

      hornbyben I measured again yesterday and I achieved a less impressive 16% increase in weight after steaming 337g of milk. I suspect a HX or a DB would get something in the region of 11-12% more consistently.

        The weaker the steam and lower the temp, the more liquid is added. I realise there is expansion but probably a large change in weight….something I might starting adding to any future reviews I do.

          DavecUK future reviews I do.

          Are you hinting you will be reviewing Kafmasino One? 😂

              They did ask, but I simply don’t have the time to do it justice…I have been doing quite a few engineering reviews and other projects. I think that guy on YT is probably giving them the sort of thing they really want. My review might be quite a bit more in depth.

                  hornbyben - have only just come across the Kafmasino One and must say that I was impressed with the professionally produced software and taking the good bits of the Decent approach to the hardware and profiling parameters available. At c.£1,000 with Bluetooth paired scales it seems pretty competitive to the £3,260 for Decent DE1 currently. Two years on from release, it must have settled down fixing any issues? Has DavecUK been persuaded to do a full review?

                      I think they lost interest once they realised it would be an open and honest review. I also think they only wanted something for the crowd funding. In which case it was not something I wanted to be a part of. I am interested in showcasing good products, not making a company money.

                      To my mind it’s based on a very cheap machine, with largely untried and slightly copied software ideas.

                        Absolutely understand your reluctance hearing that. Have to say that the Spanish brothers do seem to be making a genuine attempt to bring a much cheaper alternative to the Decent DE1 to market and bravo to them for trying. As you say, the cheap base machine is a bit of a let down, but presumably is the only way to get a Eur 1,000 (ish) machine to market. The software is everything to this machine and so let’s see how it performs in a public released machine. Looks pretty much like Decent’s software and you never know, but it might be an improvement!
