Great little machine. For those wondering: I have a small coffee shop with two of these running. They handle heavy traffic when needed and I have the flexibility to turn one off during slow times. I have had my coffee shop for 3 years now. I will upgrade to a Boxer sometime soon but the Two Apts are doing fantastic.

Thanks a bunch for for your excellent review and comparison of these two machines.

@TeipelFilms Месяц назад

I've had the exact same machine for a couple of months now and after buying a thermometer for the group head I can say that flushing the head before pulling a shot is essential. When the machine has just heated up to 93-ish degrees celcius, 6-8 seconds of flushing might be okay. However, when the machine has heated up for mor than 40-50 minutes you will need at least 13-15 seconds of flushing. Otherwise you will end up with a waaay overextracted first shot. Also you want to manipulate the ovp in the back of the machine so it tops out at around 9 bars of pressure. For this, you will need to buy a barometer for the group head. too.

@radawnro 2 года назад

Hi Xris! Could you please share a recommendation for a good shelf-liner option? I didn't see that item linked. I'm worried of purchasing one that will not work well with the machine heat (i.e. poor quality rubber that would melt, etc). Thanks in advance!

@lansingmanor Год назад

The only thing I’m not sure about Are the threaded valves for the steam and hot water. How well do these hold up over time?

@niranalmog4773 3 года назад

Did you find that when you first started using the Appartamento that it had a hot metal odor and taste from through the group head and steam wand? I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and unless i run a lot of water through the group or wand before use, there is this almost "campfire" taste that comes through. I spoke to Seattle Coffee Gear and their "technician" said this is residue from the manufacturing process and that I should continue to run water through it and it will dissipate. Did you experience any of this?

@springfieldleo6184 3 года назад

I think when people are asking "does it make great espresso/milk drinks?" it's actually more proper to ask "do you know how to make great espresso/milk drinks?". A good machine makes the experience smoother and easier, by, in my opinion, mostly providing stability. The temperature, pressure, and water dispense are more stable and predictable. And at the end of the day, if you enjoy making coffee with it, I think it's always a worth it. I myself have a Gaggia classic(not even the pro version), and I'm loving it! Great reviews btw.

@itsxris 3 года назад

this is a super good point to make - going to be adding a screenshot of your comment into my vid next week about picking your first espresso machine

@springfieldleo6184 3 года назад

@@itsxris btw, I'd agree with you that the Gaggia classic indeed has quite a learning curve. The machine came in factory setting a 13bar default brewing pressure. I had to tune that down to a 6. To get the best steam power I have to run the steam until the boiler kicks in again. It's been fun though, and the results quite rewarding. Yeah, it's definitely important to join the community and learn more about your machine and develop better routines. Cheers

@radawnro 2 года назад

I have the time more and I wish it was slightly more narrow than it is. Doesn't leave much room to weight the volume at the time of pulling an espresso. I usually guess and weight the final volume after pulling shots. Other than that detail I love the scale.

I used the stock basket for the first month of getting my apartamento. I went with 18g ridgeless VST and instantly had to grind finer. In my experience VST is lot less forgiving. But once you get it dialed in, it is much better. I also likes that it is straight walled unlike the stock basket

My experience with the Breville Dual Boiler, love it when it worked, but while still under warranty I had to send in for repair, unable to perform de-scale function, machine would get really hot and trip GFI outlet, started leaking, etc. Continued to trip GFI outlet after repair, still unable to de-scale, machine starting shutting down while using. Called Breville for repair and was told since it was out of warranty it would be $500.00 for repair. Look around at reviews, Amazon, Williams Sonoma, Seattle Coffee Gear and you will see all the same complaints. Breville really should have stood behind their Dual Boiler that obviously had a design defect. I decided $500.00 was a better investment into a new machine that wasn't made in China.

@europeantravelingwithraj9216 3 года назад

Interesting review, can you compare with a rocket dual boiler machine

@Matt18001 3 года назад

I can answer this for you. For home use making 1 or 2 drinks at a time or even 4 or 5 you won't see much of a difference other than the dual boiler being slightly more temperature stable due to the PID. The dual boiler machine allows you to be very consistent over 10+ drinks in a row which is definitely not a requirement of the typical home user. The more reasonable upgrade in the rocket machines is either of their "chronometro" machines which offer the PID, and have variants for a rotary pump (quieter and can be plumbed into a water line), while not having the price tag of the dual boiler machine. Hope this helps.

That’s a lot of money for a heat exchanger machine. For the Aparttamento’s price, the Rancilio Silvia Pro is a way better buy and makes better coffee with a dual boiler and PID setup giving much better temperature consistency. Then, upgrade someday to a comparable but more luxury machine (if you feel necessary) like a Rocket R58 or an ultra luxury machine like a La Marzocco Linea Mini.

@postholedigger8726 Год назад

When you factor in transportation costs, time spent standing in line, time spent looking for a seat (most of the seats are occupied by squatters with laptops), plus the product cost, Starbucks costs around $10.00 per visit. At 300 Vente Lattes per year, the cost is around $3000.00 per year. Over 10 years that comes to around $30,000.00. This makes the cost of a high end machine like a Rocket negligible. That aside, Starbucks Lattes always tasted like warmed over dishwater. When you make these drinks at home you have more control over the quality of the coffee, the brewing time and shot size giving you the flexibility to make it the way you want.

Anyone recommend a good coffee bean grinder to use with this?

@Matt18001 3 года назад

Baratzza sette 270 if you don't mind the loud noise. Niche zero. Anything else that's specifically an espresso grinder , if you're buying an apartamento I'm guessing you don't want a grinder worth more than the machine so I'll not mention the ultra high end options.

@@Matt18001 I d be interested to know if there is a point of diminishing returns. Does going more expensive (on the grinder) always improve the quality or consistency of the espresso?

The Mozzafiato type V is FAR superior in every way from build quality to performance. It makes the Appartamento look very entry, which it is for a prosumer HX machine

@woosha10 3 года назад

The apartmento is designed as an entry level machine . So does that mean I should throw my apartmento in the bin????

why would u buy this maschine over a lelit bianca? makes no sense

@itsxris 2 года назад

because that one is twice the price bud

@eazypeazy6650 2 года назад

I'm in europe so a bit hard to compare prices :D but i would go for a dual boiler with rotary pump when it comes to prosumer machines
