The general consensus on the Argos Discord is that the portafilter doesn’t need to be warmed up and keeping the group head cold is ideal. Could probably skip that first flush and maintain a bit more boiler pressure.
Hi CY, I am keeping a close eye on the Argos. One defining feature is the ability to extract larger vol of shots. i do 18g in / 42g out some times going to 50g since im doing light roast most time. Good to know this can do 47 and 48g. Do u think its able to go up to 50g and what do u need to do to achieve it?
Hi thanks for watching my video. I have made a new video yesterday and that's how I do a higher volume extraction. In the latest video, the extraction is not the best because of the grind setting, could have been better!
Are you happy with your choice of steam wand on the left side on the Argos? I know a lot of people will say you will get used to whatever side your machine comes with but the Argos gives us the choice. I am right handed as I think you are and I am tossed up on which side to go with. Also, how is the Argos black finish holding up, any issues?
That is a tough choice. I will go for the EM19M3 if space is not a constraint as EM19M3 can do both espresso extraction and steaming milk at the same time. However, the ability to control the PID temperature and preinfusion timing is a win for me. Hence I will go for the Gemilai 3007L.
