    Just recently acquired this machine and I'm happy to report that they have included an 18gr non pressurized basket! Also the Tamper has changed for a more traditional shape (no more arm day for you) 58mm and respectable 250g of weight (still not the best fit for most 58mm baskets)

  • @martinmanzi1830
    @martinmanzi1830 18 годин тому

    The thing with the two sides tamper is that Dream Zero models (and the basic I think) use 57mm portafilter. I have one of those and works super good...but having a 57mm is a pain in the ass and doesn't give you much room for upgrades, e.g. bottomless portafilter

  • @scd6969
    @scd6969 День тому

    I scrapped my machines years ago for the very reasons you point out. Thermocoils and thermoblock heaters have been around for a long time. This is nothing new. What's new however is they've just gotten better over the years. Many years ago when I was living overseas I owned a Welhome KD-310VPS which utilized a Triple-Thermoblock heating system that offered very intense steam performance comparable to boiler machines while also having Volumetric and variable pressure programmability. The manual pressure operation was a but clunky and somewhat linear but it was a nice feature to play with. Unfortunautely the machine only came in 220V. So it wasn't a machine that would return home with me to the states. But since then, seeing how well they perform, I pretty much would never buy or recommend a boiler based espresso machine ever. They are truly a thing if the past. My current machine is a breville bambino plus, which has virtually no heat up time and perfect adequate for some nice morning espresso. For folks that are home espresso hobbyist then sure you can blow your money on expensive boiler machines and play barista to your heart's content. I've been there done that (see my IG:coffee_rx with my 20k setup) so I'm not at all criticizing that. But for those who just want quick and easy, and perfectly enjoyable espresso, there really is no need to spend money on these traditional Italian shinyboxes. Kudos to LH for promoting boilerless machines. Finally something sensible lol (thoough incredibly long winded but hey he's a gear whore like every other coffee youtuber). Ps. I made a youtube show and tell of my kd-310VPS if you wanna check it out.

    Lance Love, love, love your reviews. I have a Flair 58 with the heated head. Love the coffee shots I get from it. Have been thinking of upgrading to the Ascaso. Redoing my coffee bar and have installed a 20amp plug. So my two questions are: 1. Will the Asscaso give me a better shot of coffee more quickly and 2nd. Is the duo worth the extra money as I, like you, like watching my shots come out and if I did a milk drink would probably do that after. But my understanding the Duo has stronger steam. Any thoughts?
