https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIzFhnZ32Y0 I'm not surprised that a smart kitchen gadget has a lovely app but it's pretty amazing just how bad they all are. Real case of making something because you can rather than because you should.

Did your read the description? It's basically a small commercial machine. Doesn't even take pods smdh.

I paid a grand for a gently used Valentina and thought it was just an OK deal. I had no idea they went for this much. I'm wondering if there was something special about this machine that I was missing. And it does take pods with an adapter. I was just confused and rather pleased to see what it was worth.

They’re charging 15k for a gs3. That machine should be 7100. It’s a bad site.

Hey guys I fixed my lovely coffee by brewing it with pumpkin spice blend dumped directly into the grounds while brewing. Then something dark and terrible in my white blonde girl soul awakened, and the apartment is full of yarn, pumpkins, and apples. The dog is scared. I cant find the boyfriend. All is fall, everything is toasty

Haven't used that one specifically, but I've used the one with three holes on the bottom, which I think is somewhat better because those Melitta pour over cups already drain pretty slow. I prefer the v60 - the conical shape is more conducive for draw down, the v60 #2 holds 40g versus Melissa #2 holding 30g max, there's way more recipes for the v60, and it actually tastes better once you get down the procedure (YMMV).

I asked a while back about espresso machines but I have yet to do anything. Now my wife wants to get me a machine as a gift. I thought the Silvio Rancilio was the de facto espresso value workhorse. I’m annoyed that it doesn’t come with a PID but lots of people use it without it and love it. Have other machines come up that I should consider? The Gaggia and CD1(?) are the other names I seem to remember. I’m anticipating keeping it for a long time. It will be used for all things espresso. The Silvia is around $750 bucks new last I check which is about the most I wanted to spend.

I've been doing some entry level research myself for espresso. Silvia looks good, but I'm probably leaning more towards getting the 2018/2019 model Gaggia Classic Pro and adding a PID myself. Seems like a really good value for getting into Espresso. I need to get a new grinder, too, since I only have an Encore. Leaning towards a refurb Sette 270 or pinching even more pennies and getting the Sette 30 but adding the micro adjustment ring from the 270 to it.

I've had a Silvia that was pidless, and have had a Crossland CC1 for 2 years or so; there have been no issues with the CC1 and I love it. I had the Silvia for 9 years and then had a boiler issue (now fixed), and my daughter is still using the Audrey from eons ago. Rancilio makes rock solid kit. Soooo, if you really want the PID, I'd go with the CC1, but you can't go wrong with a Silvia either.

I'll second the above poster. I bought a Silvia because it's easy to source parts if something breaks, but I haven't heard of anyone unhappy with their CC1 purchase.

It's a great machine. Once in a while we're out we will stop for a coffee and see it's big commercial siblings and I laugh when they sound pretty similar when operating. I dream of the day in a decade when I can give it to my kid as they go off to college and then spend all the money I'm hopefully saving on a robot with a double boiler that brings the coffee to me in bed.

I must admit, using the Silvia makes me nostalgic for the commercial machine I learned to make coffee on. It was a 15 year old Italian machine almost 20 years ago. The thing would make the most beautiful noises when used properly, and I expect that if we had better coffee it would have even tasted better. The actual extraction on the Silvia is similar to that, but the steamer on that commercial machine was definitely better. The Silvia’s steaming isn’t bad, but it could be improved by having its own boiler of course. So the nostalgia runs thick for an all analog machine for me, but if you learn the machine, it also makes a really good coffee.

Israeli coworker just said she can't drink brewed coffee because it just doesn't taste like what she's used to...which after some interrogation I figured out it's Finjan style, like Turkish coffee? That muddy stuff. Is it good?
