Is there a grinder you recommend?

I’m 5 ft tall and 97 lbs. I stand on a stool to pull a shot. Do you have any advice for exerting more force when using the levers?

Can you make a video where they modifed the piston through adding a 35x70mm 24V Electric PI Polyimide Film Heater Heating Element For 3D Printer Oil?

How much water did you use and how did the espresso taste and what was the mouthfeel?

Any idea which scale is that? Not many fit under the robot.

Why not make it fully steel? Aluminum production creates tons of toxic aluminum dust and it is absorbed by whatever it comes into contact with, including soil and food products. Also, for the price of the Robot, steel would be better bang for the buck, unlike cheap aluminum. For example, you can buy a fully steel kettle for under $20. Hence, it's not expensive or anything. Using so much aluminum in a manual lever machine priced at $450 feels a bit cheap/greedy.

As far as I could see (or did I miss it?) this video doesn’t show how you insert the metal sleeve over the pipe.

Should I use silicone compound in the “shoulders” of the Robot, I mean on the surface between the metal and teflon washers to prevent the arms from screeching and wearing out? Only Molykote is good or any food grade silicone lubricant will do the job? Thx in advance for the answer!

Great watch!

Great!. That lever you made, are you going to mass-produce it one of these days? (ps : I've been using the Robot for years)

ive been peaking 12/13 bar. good to know the tube can go up to 20 bar. i assume the steel arms is strong enough as well? i am thinking i have no need to go past 15 bar. but there has been a real need for me lately to get creative. peaking at the end of the shot (increasing flow/pressure throughout the entire shot) has improved the taste, and i appreciate that this machine makes it simple to do that as well.

i wish the inside where you lock the portafilter was like how the the Strietman CT2 is on the outside. just a slope so that it's easier to lock in and fuss free. right now i have to push up because the gasket pushes against the basket, it's a bit of a hassle. part of the portafilter on the upside edge has grounded down a bit because i have to push up every time. and it would be a pipe dream, but somehow adding heating like flair 58x. that would be the best to get the most out of the bean. otherwise, no desire for anything else. love the tactile feel of the robot, doesn't need to be easier. the feedback i use in pulling the shot actually, to feel the bloom and manage pressure/flow. love the durability of it. and i have prefer the look of the original screens. glad to have bought extras haha.

Users on Reddit have noted (complained about) metal flakes in the gasket or piston (don't remember the specifics). Any comments on that?

Any video instructions for installing the gauge?

....❤ .... My Cafelat Robot has been an ....ABSOLUTELY ....HUGE .... FRIEND ....TO LIFE .....the last four or so years ❤ ! It boosts spirit and quality of life ....immensely ❤ !

Is it detrimental to move the gauge, with a computer printer bracket, to the arms screw? Thanks

I am using the finest grind and still cannot reach just 4 bar. Where is my mistake?

Pistone ballerino? Mettigli un po' di musica!

i buy a regular cafelat robot, can i make the installation pressure gauge to be barista mode ?

The bolt you sealed with the teflon came out in one piece with the tube when I disassembled it. Now it's impossible to put it back...any ideas Paul? I'm extremely sad I cannot assemble my cafelat back 😢

Are those 52mm Gaskets you’re using?

Great equipment and was enjoying, but damaged the metal sleeve, however I can’t reinstall, water is entering piston, I need tork value for installation in 10:17 , could you please help?

I know it might bother you. But could you please consider to produce this version again. I use Robot for 2 years and deeply fall in love with it. Just want to hold and use the original polished aluminum and told the story of this machine til I get old. Thank you for your invention. Cheers Anake C. Thailand

Is there also a silicone gasket available for LSM lever groups?

Paul, a quick question - have you ever thought of doing a piston preheating element kit that could be fitted to upgrade the Robot, so that it matches the flair 58 in terms of what is done for temp stability? I'd get one! :)

Would you ever consider selling a part like the one in this video, to make it easier to see when pulling shots? ruclips.net/video/eCJdmukFJsA/видео.html

Why didn't you make the Cafelat Robot with a 58 mm Porter filter size? Also some rubber sleeves on the handles would be nice to ease the discomfort people complain about.

Does Cafelat make a 57.5mm portafilter basket? Can you get a COFFEE SCREEN without the silicone center-piece?

Will Cafelat build a GROUP HEAD, (boiling water container), that has a bayonet mount, which can hold a 58 mm PORTA-FILTER - and enough water for 2 LONG SHOTS (~ 100 ml)?

Could you have used a STEEL gasket or seal for the PISTON (plunger)? Is there a SMELL, (odour), associated with the SILICONE SEALS?

Does the HOT WATER come into contact with the SILICONE SEAL of the plunger?

Interesting-why would a dry basket lead to an uneven tamp? Im not worried, as I bought the self-leveling tamper for my Robot. BTW, the Robot is a great setup for travel.

Robot likes to wear his heart on his sleeve

Hi, i changed both the seals aswell as the shower screen on my profitec pro 800, i feel like on the midway point (pre wetting) causes channels now (visible indents on the puck). Could that be that i fitted a seal inproperly or does it have to do with the shower screen?

Is this product available for India??

What type of tube using.? As I see it ..wasn't silicone tube.if it's polyurethane...it will give u trouble in time.it will crack ! I will change the tube and lever mounting to the tube.use swivel fitting.

I imagine the powered coated are more durable as aluminum with tarnish and dull over time the enamel should wear very well…..i live the white also

Thanks for the detailed video. Often have too small of a shot volume with the same group. Not sure what I’m doing different with my machine really, I use substantial pre-infusion time but it never runs through as much as you showed before letting the lever go. Perhaps I need to adjust my grind a bit coarser. I’m also using a bigger filter basket to increase max available water volume to overcome this which I'm not quite sure helps at all. Pro 800 dipper, temp set to 124-1255C giving approx 1.2-1.3 bar.Never managed to get this much volume even though you use a smaller basket. Have to give this a try.

Seeing videos like this gives me great confidence in your products! What a fantastic machine and a great, transparent and real brand. Congratulations!

Yeah

paul or crystal… getting a bit of hiss and drip where the plastic tube enters the collar on the angled parker? fitting and ideas to seal it ?? i removed the tube and i’m going to reinsert to see if that helps reseat it correctly …

Thank you for presenting your standard routine and showing your impressive collection of coffee machines! Now I understand where the Robot's "less but better"-philosophy comes from.

Does this fit for Gaggia Orione lever group gasket 72x53x6?

Well I'm pleased you explained why the guage isn't on the body of the unit as that was my only grip. Good explanation of why it's not satisfies me fully. Simplicity and the beauty of design are why I'm so attracted to the Robot. I haven't purchased yet as I already own a Decent Espresso machine so no rush on my end. Congratulations 👏🎉 on your success!

I amazed at the simplicity of design and see a huge profit margin. Congratulations on your success!🎉👏 I already own a Decent Espresso machine and use an AeroPress as a backup when out of store bought water. Still, I want the Robot for a change of pace and frankly, I just love the beauty and simplicity. If it works the way I think it will, selling the Decent is not unthinkable. I think of the Decent as top espresso machine in the marketplace but your manual machine with its no fuss temperature or water quality design is simply captivating.

This is perfect Paul, I've only now started to play with temperature for my shots and reckon I've been running too hot for medium / dark roasts. As you say the water could be even hotter again down at screen level but this is a pretty good value for me if we take the brew temp to be maybe 7 or 8 degrees less than your water? Say I want to brew at 85 degrees I'll try setting my kettle to 92 or 3 degrees. Thanks so much for the info!

I love mine so much!!!! Thank you Paul!!!!!!!

Hi, have you ever considered a straight basket? I get frequent channeling in a consistent pattern around the outsides of my pucks that I think is caused by the tapered basket. Would be great to have a straight walled one.

Hi, I got mine today and the arms are quite loose. They have almost a millimeter of play. Albeit 2 big and 2 small spacers were used. Is that a case for asking for a different machine from the seller or is there anything I can do? Or is it normal?

Don’t light roast shots need to be closer to 93C?
