I love this machine. It makes better coffee than half the local cafes even with mid range (but fresh) beans from the store. The espresso is sweet and fruity with a nice crema even the first time we used the machine. I use it every day for myself and my family, making coffee, lattes, cold brew, tea, and cocoa. The grinder is mostly repeatable, there is a little variation in grind volume but not enough to ruin a drink. The tamper works great, we do two presses each time. The suggested grind fineness is great but we found the suggested dose to be under for light and medium roast beans (haven’t done any dark roast yet, not really our thing). We typically have it between 15 and 18 depending on the beans. I am new to steaming milk but after watching some YouTube videos I can turn 6 oz of milk into good hot microfoam in about 30 seconds. The cold brew is one of my favorite options. It is very slow, about 5 minutes, but one cup is strong enough to dilute to 16 oz of cold brew comparable to what I make in the fridge in 24 hours. I have found it slightly better to run it twice to get a bit more flavor if I have the time. The water and bean hopper are a decent size, we end up filling it every couple days making 4-5 assorted drinks a day. The low bean and low water alerts are very helpful, we’ve never run out during a brew. Knocking the pucks out requires a knock box, we had to buy that separately. The steam pitcher is a little small, we may upgrade that at some point but it is large enough for a latte. I wish BB sold the cleaning tablets and descaling solution, we had to buy those elsewhere. I believe the machine tells you when those things need to be done. Hasn’t happened yet but we’re only a few weeks in.
