I’ve been wanting one of these for a few months now and managed to pick one up in the roughly 17 minutes they were available at Cafuné before selling out again. I’ve only pulled one shot so far and I messed up the grind size pretty bad but thought I’d try anyway, and it still turned out pretty good! I know this will make incredible espresso once I dial in grind size, I just need to get there first. It was also a genuine pleasure to use. I’m completely obsessed with this machine now and am so excited to play with it some more.

Fresh hot robutt juice. Mmmm.....

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago

Yeah, that’s fair.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

That wasn't the whole point of getting it?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

T-pose for the power poopie

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

When are you placing the googly eyes on it? They come with in the box or you need to get them at googlie's-R-us? we need pictures when you're done.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 30 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That’s definitely planned in the future. What I’m really excited for is putting hats/headpieces on it. Santa hat for Christmas, bunny ears for Easter, that sorta thing.

I hope it goes without saying that you are now legally required to post follow up pictures. It's the law

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

I hope it goes without saying you’ll have to kill me to prevent me from posting more about this brewer.

Don't forget facepaint for día de los muertos

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Excellent idea, thank you.

Time to make some good soup

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

I’m very excited to play with soup. Maybe my afternoon espresso. We’ll see if I have time.

Thank you very much! I didn't know about this great, wonderful device!
The attitude is dear... brilliant... lovely...

An uncompromising minimalist design built to professional standards. This machine is constructed entirely out of premium materials, primarily stainless steel, meaning it is completely plastic free by a few silicon seals. And so, remarkably robust and honestly engineered to last. The robot feels like industrial art...

The Cafelat robot isn't just a machine. Honestly, it's a statement on your kitchen bench.

Funny, I thought I’d seen every video on YouTube about this brewer but I somehow missed that one. Thanks for the link.

Silicone, dammit! Lol

You got a good grinder?

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My grinder isn’t great at the espresso range but I’ve got a new one coming in soon (DF54) that should hopefully work much better. No idea when that’s supposed to arrive.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

soon

Oh cool.

No idea when that’s supposed to arrive.

Oh, so Soonᵀᴹ

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It came today! Way earlier than I expected.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How in the shite did it take less than a year for the DF?? Are you magic, or something?

Seriously, though. How is it? I mean, I know the hype, I've read the user reviews and all, but is it actually as good as it sounds in paper?

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I got it from dfgrinders.ca, they were great. Lots of communication. They also offer an upgraded red titanium burr set that I got which is really nice. Sort of a budget SSP option in the 54mm size.

I’ve only done 3 grinds with it so far but it’s been good. It’s really heavy, in a good way. I don’t have it dialed in yet, so it’s hard to comment on cup quality, but build quality is really good. It definitely feels very premium.

I made a post earlier this evening on this comm where I go into it a bit more, you should check it out.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I made a post earlier

How have I missed it? I look for posts on this sub throughout the day lol I'm checking it out now

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I only posted it a few hours ago and the picture isn’t too dissimilar to my previous post so it’s probably pretty easy to miss.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I found it, and I loved it!

[–] Zensate@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Still looking for that manual espresso machine for me. That Roboto is a little too 60s for me. If only the picopresso could sit on a cup..

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

Funny, the design is what initially drew me in. I love retro designs, I’m currently trying to convince my wife to make our entire house decor a mix of Fallout and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Once I did more research on this brewer and found out it also makes some of the absolute best espresso ever, it cemented my need to own it. So far, it lives up to the hype. This thing is awesome.
