Kafmacino One - full functional test

LMSC I agree that I struggle to see their target audience. It’s still a reasonable gap to the decent though, the cheapest model available at the minute is £2971.

I’m not sure their pricing is miles off though. Given it cost me around £1k to do similar to mine, and that’s without a tablet, no charge for labour and before component prices went up by a significant amount. I obviously didn’t need to make a profit to cover overheads and create a sustainable business.

I suspect the prices they’re showing are what they need to charge to stand a chance of it being a success. The problem they have though is that it is still a lot of money, and for that much you have high expectations. Personally I think the machine looks quite ugly and cheap, whereas I find the Silvia’s looks industrial and classic (beauty is in the eye of the beholder though).

I struggle to see a scenario where that would fit my needs for that price.

That’s not right al all the cheapest machine is £3423.85

DavecUK Fair, I hadn’t included shipping and taxes

What’s £400 when you spend £3k hey… ;-)

You just need to buy it when you’re doing a house project, and then everything else feels cheap 🤣

I think it does a lot of things right and you probably get what a Decent gets you for a fraction of price. I don’t think it competes with Bianca, what does Bianca know to do aside looking shiny?!

I think a problem is that it seems a very boring product, they just mixed designs from Lelit and Rancilio and internals from Decent🤷. If they would have put some original things on the table (especially the design) we were talking different things now.

But maybe the small price would make it something similar with DF64.

Petre and internals from Decent

It might make it somewhat similar to a Decent, but I don’t think the technology used is anywhere close!

For instance, A Decent machine does not have boilers :-)

This guy’s design is the goat.. The only one I know that pours from half a meter hight. Salt bae style.

Why did he put music over the extraction?🤔

Cuprajake I wondered the same….in a review I try never to do that, unless I’m pissing about and making a joke of slo mo pours and music.

Petre it’s for ease of filming the bottomless, for the gram you know…

I think preorder price has been updated. Now €950

Lot to spend on an untested new machine

Cuprajake - and that’s a 40% discount from the original price of… €1,600!

Yeah at £1600 I’m buying a Bianca haha

MediumRoastSteam If I were a bit cynical, that’d be telling me: we’re trying to cut losses, and at least get rid of the unsold inventory of parts.

But I’m not a cynicist. Best of luck to them, in any case.
