I'm going to Europe this December, so not sure yet.

Still considering between conical and flat.

Heard 60+ is more than enough.

Budget?

There are a lot of comparison online on flat vs conical and burr sizes.
Some done with scientific experiments

 

[testerjp]

Think around 1200 Eur.
It's company budget.

Prefer on demand than doser

buying in Italy makes the most sense, then again.
U need to know which city U be in and if the carries the product.
if U speaks Italian or they speaks decent English/Chinese/etc great!

if U want to order online and get it ship to your hotel, not sure how to handle VAT that way.

Yeah, Italy is cheaper and the people there really use it for heavy duty.

Commercial setting sure!!
Residential another thing

It's only in Italy where i can see barista using single baskets so easily and so quickly.
Love the coffee culture there despite the new American 3th wave trend.

Anyone using the Expobar Brewtus IV? I curious about the steaming power. I have used a Brewtus III before and the steam was weak, but it was a 110V version and I'm not sure if that played a part. Anyone can comment on this? Thanks!

 

[calbay]

I'm now working in my sis's cafe in Aussie and we retail these machines.

The Brewtus come with a single tip, just change to a double tip if you need more power. Single tips are easier for new users. Even so, it's far from considered weak.

There might be lime-scales blocking the valves in the machine you tried.

There are many good brands in Italy, like Fiorenzato, Ceado and Quamar.
Most will only remember Mazzer and Macap though.

In any case, i will still recommend sticking to Italian brands.

Mazzer and madcap well distrubuted overseas.
Other brands if want to get parts maybe harder

110v could be one of the reasons. Another reason is the heating element could be old or of poor quality and short life span. Google slayer's demo of their heating element vs the competition and you'll see what I mean.

Other reasons pressure not high enough, milk jug too big for its capacity pressure meter not accurate, 4 hole tip when the capacity of the boiler is only for a 2 hole (steam pressure is powerful but will drop fast).

 

[patryn33]

Doubt 110v is the reason. Power is voltage * current.

Any way I find this a nice read

Ceado looks very good, heard it's even better than Mazzer, but the better models are really exp and look quite plastic.

The founder of Ceado used to work for Mazzer. And the improvements he made on his grinders are clearly better than Mazzer grinders.

There has always been no TITANIUM burrs for the HG One. It used to be either bead blasted Mazzer burrs or TIN coated 3rd party burrs.
You can still order the new 2015 HG One now at the new lynweber website.

For those who don't know, a brief recap; "Lyn" of Lyn Weber Workshops is of course Craig Lyn, the original developer along with Paul Nahhas who brought us the HG-One. And drumroll..... Craig's new partner in his ever growing company, the mysterious Mr Weber, is a titan in the mechanical engineering world, who was very high up in Apple and patent owner of dozens of brilliant things that ended up in a lot of our pockets already. The CV of Douglas Weber is quite impressive and from first glance, he's exactly the kind of person I'd want helping me realize a new product in this vein. He's also very passionate about coffee apparently, so that's a good thing. Do an internet search for Douglas Weber Apple and judge for yourself, is all I really need to say.
