Finally after 6months I picked up my machine. It actually arrived last week but I was away and only got back Friday morning.
I havent had much of a chance to play with it yet and dont have any photos, as I was stuck at work late Friday and worked all day sat and looks like all day Sunday.
Although I got a few hours with it this morning. 1/2 a kg of beans has the grinder dialed in. It took me a while to get the dozing on the Kony e right. I had read and been told that the dosing would be a little off until the burrs bed in. Seemed ok on the few shots I pulled post.
The machine is great. A bit wider than my minore and a bit deeper but a lot more squat. The manuals are very comprehensive and actuallynwritten by someone with a good grasp of English. They are actually quite useful. I like the ability to set the on and off times of the machine. Plus you get all the gear to plumb it in. The reservoir is great too, it slides out from behind the drip tray and you justbuse a jug to fill it. No kore removing all the cups off the top. Steam is fantastic too. I got great milk in about 10 seconds and was boasting at my prowess, before stuffing the next jug
. You dont have a lot of time to get it right.
I had forgotten how quiet the rotary pumps are. Even my wife was impressed with that (if youbcan call I couldnt get much louder a positive remark). The cony is really quiet too. Much more so than the mini. I think the cooling fan is noisier than the grinding.
I like the paddle too. I decided against the volumetric and went the paddle. I like the feel to it. I havent tried the pre infusion yet though.
A few little annoyances though. Main one being a scratch in the middle of the front of my drip tray. It had gone through the protective film. But didnt become apparent until I removed it all. So I will see what I can do about getting that replaced. I presume the importer has changed the plug, but instead of fitting a new cable, they just bought a cheap clear plug and put that on (which for the price you would think they could do a bit better). I will get an electrician from work to change it so I dont void my warranty. Importer stuck a big thick sticker with their name in the middle of the machine front. Which has left a bit of a mark, but a bit of rubbing should get it out. But really nothing to get worried about and all solvable.
I will post up some pictures and do a better write up a bit later.
