My entire immediate family decided to come back to my place for coffee after our Yum Cha lunch on Sunday for my sisters birthday. There was 8 of us in total, and I was extremely excited to be able to show them all the joys of "real coffee". hehe..
I was a little worried that the lil Nemox wouldnt stand up to the load, but i managed to get double shots pouring evenly into two glasses and was able to do lattés in 2s. It didnt seem to take me too long to get everyone a coffee, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Im not sure if they were blowing smoke up my butt or what but they did say it was better than café coffee.
The time it took the machine to reheat between shots and switch to steam was just fine, as by the time id rinsed jugs, cleaned groups, ground and tamped and whatnot it was happily waiting for me
It would have been nifty to have portafilter and basket so that I could grind and tamp the next shot while one was pulling.. Im not sure if I can get PFs as single accessories for the Nemox for 1 (they are 57mm) and whether it would really be worth it for th extremely occaisional time when I have that many people wanting coffee
All in all, it was fun and comforting to know that my home setup makes the grade when it comes to having those few extra people around. Of course.. if, say, someone were to beg me to take a Giotto off of their hands, Id certainly consider it ;-)
cheers
