Well it's different machine and hence hard to compare. The one I reviewed in the video is machine with built-in grinder with thermal block as heating elements. The SMEG professional is similar to a single boiler with a modified e61 group on it. The functionality looks very similar to the Gemilai machines which I also reviewed in my other video especially the CRM3007.

Any 18g and 58mm basket will fit.

Yes you can.

@CaffeMartellaSingapore i tried n i basically couldn lock the portafilter, thats y i ask. Any brands u tried that works? I tried mhw3bomber DEP 18g basket but i could not lock it. I have press the basket in completely no bulging up looks fine but it just wouldn lock it. Which brand of vst basket have u tried that fits? Maybe a make a video on that? Txtx I notice that the smeg original basket has a groove but vst basket all doesnt. Which brand did u use? Thanks really need help on this, i could go visit your shop to buy it from u if possible too. Do u have the machine in your shop?

@marcusteng2649 I will see if i can test as the demo machine has since been returned to SMEG. I will see if i can get my hand on one.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore thank u so much bro

Thank you for liking my videos and subscribing to my channel! Really appreciates it.

Just to double check when you said that the 100% Arabica beans with long roasting time...does it mean that it has been roasted some time ago?

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore The brand of the coffee is movenpick, a Swiss brand, the coffee says careful long-term roasting

@ricardovoegeli5359 do you have th roast level and roast date of this coffee?

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore i see 30.08.01, can be 23 years old? wow now I bought another one, Colombian single origin medium roast, and the only date is the one until will be good for consumption

@ricardovoegeli5359 I think the main issue with the coffee is its freshness. For any medium roasted beans, try to use it within a month from the roast date.

We shd do it again!

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore I wish I could drink caffeinated coffee but sadly I need to focus on decaf going forward. Recent diagnosis made me have to switch 😢so if you know of some good tasting decaf beans please let me know. Hubby can still do the caffeinated beans though👍☕️

@richterstitcher7936 currently I have been using the sugarcane decaf from Colombia papayan. This is really good!

⁠thank you CY I’ll look for it if it’s available to me for purchase somewhere

It's at 32 Seah Street near Raffles Hotel

Happy new year Gwen a d thank you for supporting me always!

If you can send me a video of the milk frothing that you do, i can try to see the issue you are encountering.

@CaffeMartellaSingapore thank you very much for the quick answer! Today i sent the machine back because I tried 3 liter milk and I wasn't frothy, it was like a hot milk! One friend of mine tried also to make a cappuccino and he had the same opinion! I will wait a few days for the answer from the shop and I will order a new one! By the way do you really believe that the machine is good ?? Your video was amazing and the milk was so creamy and frothy!

@alexandroskeranidis8654 Yes, i believe it's pretty good for home use. Most likely, you have a defective unit. But do update me on your progress and I am interested to find out how it works out for you.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore i will do it! Thanks again for your answer and help! Unfortunately I don't other social media accounts to follow you and send you a video the next days but I will try to find you on social media from friend's accounts! I wish you the best and a beautiful and healthy new year

A few days ago I had an appointment at the Smeg to check the machine. The consultant showed me how the machine and the milk foamer work and I told him that my machine was very loud and the milk foamer had defective and he told me that the pump was expected to be broken. I'll order a new one soon. Although I would like to thank you again for your help

There are other machine better than this and price around the same. If you are interested, you can arrange to come down to my cafe to take a look. Some of our models don't have demo machines and some do. You can drop me an email at speedy3dcreations@gmail.com

Honestly, I would go for flair 58 instead of sonic S7

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore Thank you very much for the reply; it reinforces my decision. I also think a lot about the flair 58+2 since the ph element makes a huge difference in the preparation phase and consistency in producing a consistent shot. It may be hard to believe, but the flair 58+2 is way more expensive than the complete Sonic S7 bundle set at my local, but the price is definitely worth for the flair.

@TheBumblebee2000 the issue with the Sonic is the heat management. It is just too much of a chore to keep trying to maintain the heat and just pulling a shot.

@ i totally agree, coffee break should be enjoyable not being stressful with the temperature and wasting good coffee bean 😂

@TheBumblebee2000 for that i strongly recommend the Odyssey Argos. It will trump the flair 58 totally.

Yes that is true!

For filtered? I do around 60

Yup I meant for this recipe exactly.. what grind do you use ? 60? Thank you for the reply 😊

You are welcome and glad the video helps you!

It's maintained at around 92 to 93°C. This machine is catered for ppl who appreciate ease of frothing milk and consistently good frothing for beautiful latte art. And to be honest, PID at 92 to 93°C in my opinion, is more than enough to cover most range of coffee except extremely light roast or super dark roast.

I will do one soon! It's overdue!

Ah I see. Thank u! It looks like the bomber one was the best with water. Was real curious. 👀

@@CH-yp5by that comes from the gear pump, like cats purring.

If you are referring to which wendougee espresso machine is released at the latest, then the answer is the Data S. However, the data S is the downgraded version to the Wengougee Space despite its more modern look. In terms of the core performance of geared pump and pressure profiling, they are all awesome and to the point that I wonder why do I still have to pay between 3 to 4k for an Italian/Spanish/German model and get less than the Wendougee. In terms of reliability, I have owned this Wendoeger Space for years, and it's as consistent and fun to use as day 1 when I used it.

We will be show casing the Data S soon once it has arrived in Singapore.

I live in the US. I preordered one from the espresso outlet. They are only delivering it in late Feb. Hopefully you can make more videos comparing these two machines. I agree, the data s seems like a great machine for the price. Hopefully the components are time tested and reliable.

@ck8jx you will love it. Just like i did. Components wise as long as there is no abuse and neglect, it will serve you on equal if not better than other major brands.

@ thanks. Yeah looking forward to playing with it!
