Hi!
I’am only 12s into the video and you’ve already made me laugh out loud, literally! 😂
Thanks!
This is becoming my favorite coffee channel. Perfect balance of information, humor and entertainment. We should hang out.
I am stoked I found it!!! Great channel ☕️👍🏽
i love your sense of humor.
Yes, his straight face while making jokes (is he joking though?😁) is priceless! That and imo very informational videos makes it a joy to watch.
Very nice review as always! I would have to agree with you on everything that you said. The short and hard to position steam wand joke was delightful. 😂
I do wonder when the next update of the Legato/Apex might be, since these are two different Chinese OEMs who manufacture the grinders and coffee machines. We shall see.
Anyway, great to see a new video of yours! Tom
Hey Tom thanks so much! Both your Apex videos we're great -- lot's of info. As for updates it feels like they should be pretty quick. The whole DF way of doing things has proven very successful so I'm assuming others will use it as a blueprint of sorts. But that's just speculation. Let's see what happens. :)
Your montone delivery of jokes is hilarious! Love your reviews.
I bought the turin modle doesn't have the brand on it .. I absolutely love mine ...it's pulls 9 bars all day but you need proper grind size. No gripes at all
I’ve had this machine for 2 weeks and it’s been the perfect upgrade from my flair neo!!
Definitely becoming my favorite channel. Perfect mix of information and humor.
Nice and honnest review. Love your style! Keep up the good work.
Informative and entertaining, as usual.
Just when I thought your videos couldn’t get better… you make them better 🎉🎉 keep it up
Solid review!
An amazing video as always .
Nice review 😃👏
this is one of the $300 Gemilai CRM 3007G rebardge with MiiCoffee stamp on it. Good machine but you can import it yoursevlves to save some money
you got yourself a subscriber, I like how you say stuff
Once again Aramse rocks (more than the machine). Thank you for the review and the fun
That intro 💀💀💀"Like my parents describe me: a disappointment"
I literally went "HNGRHH"
I have heard good stuff about this machine, glad to see it really is pretty good! If I was looking for an entry level machine this certainly would be a top contender
“A disappointment?” Not on this planet. Love your content.. and your unique delivery. Top drawer.
Your review style is awesome Raghu.. Keep sharing your content.. and your humour 🙌👌
Very nice review. I actually just bought an old Gaggia Classic for $200 but this MiiCoffee machine has been on my watch list. I like the ability to mod but I’m not sure I’ll ever take the time to do it. Haha!
Your parents think you're a disappointment? Why don't you make them a cup of coffee to help them realise how mistaken they are!
Great review. Thanks.
Please review the Capriccio (the Breville dual boiler killer ?)
I’d like this approach to reviews for any product that I buy
Always great videos!!
I keep watching machines' reviews but I probably will never change my small flair neo my eureka Filtro and the nanofoamer...105+150+60 € and so little place on the counter
Fantastic video. I will stick to the Flair for the moment. And will keep waiting for the Meticulous. Hopefully it will see the light of day some time before the decade is out. Lol!
I can help but to want one! Great video ❤️☕️👍🏽
I would love to see what they can come up with by doubling the budget, say coming in at just inder $1000, better steam wand/portafilter and a separate pump so it can pull shots and steam simultaneously and increase the hight of cup space so larger cups and scales can be used.
Your review is great, didn’t expect to laugh so much 😂😂😂
In Australia, I've priced this machine as being within $100 of a Breville Dual Boiler (when on sale). I think the BDB is the better machine on most measure - proven performance, local warranty support and just a better feature set.
I bought this machine, it's stupid simple to add an OPV (which i did and set it to 10 bars) and i also wrapped it black and it's easy to replace the knob as well (i hand turned a black walnut knob which matches the DF64 now, with the added matte black wrap they look really nice next to each other)
“These aren’t bifocals, but this list deserves an extra bit of drama” - and I just his SUBSCRIBE for the this pure entertainment. Thank you Sir!
Great video! Bought a new machine from Aliexpress recently from Hibrew Coffee, the H10B. I would love to see what a experienced reviewer sais about it ! There is almost nothing about it or the bigger version (H10A) on RUclips unfortunately.
I bought a casabrews 5700 pro about a month ago and sort of wish I knew about this one. The casabrews does OK, but lacking in some areas as it pertains to brewing.
The dual boiler looks nice.
A great review--informative and funny--as usual. I will say, though, also as usual, you are reviewing something that we can't get in India. I don't know your subscriber metrics, but I would hope a lot of your subscribers are from India... and yet almost all of the gear you review is not available here, or at least not available in any easy or convenient (or affordable) way. It would be nice to maybe have a series of videos about what *is* available for coffee aficionados living in India in 2024... Reviewing and ranking what is available, and so forth...
Aramse rocks
It looks like a worse Lelit Grace. Naked metal machines like these are a treat to vinyl wrap if you ever get bored of the car engine look
This really seems like a perfect starter machine 🤔
I thought that miicoffee fixed the preifusion thing with a circuit board swap. Besides that, Great Review!
I’ll be interested to see how the next gen model of this machine compares. Right now, it seems there are too many negative quirks.
Agreed. Sadly, the few cons Aramse mentioned were serious enough to cause me to wait or pursue a different brand/model if they can’t address these soon.
Hi sir , is this the same as
gemelai crm3007L?
I’ve gotten to where I really enjoy 6 bar extractions. Really going to need them to add an OPV on a future iteration.
as long as you have consistent control over your variables and puck prep, you can achieve a flat bar shot at whatever pressure you desire. takes a bit more work, sure, but like aramse said, it's more of an annoyance than a dealbreaker. I have this machine (thankfully I got the legato without the off centered white label branding), and I love it.
Is it available for purchase in India? If so for how much and from whom?
How would it compare to the Breville/Sage Bambino Plus?
I'd love to see this up against a Lelit Anna with the PID to see which wins!
Was wondering if as you mentioned in 14:51 anyone has designed a paddle or small knob for the "flow control" screw. Would be happy to buy, 3d print.
3:06 my first thought seeing this machine was that the logo makes it look cheap, now I have to be mad that it’s not centered too.
How would you compare this to the Breville Bambino Plus?
Great review!
Bambino is better as a true novice machine. The legato takes some thought and precision to get the most out of, but the extra effort is definitely worth it. (I upgraded from a bambino non-plus to a turin legato. the auto-steam function of the plus makes it even more of a novice machine.)
Hey @aramse Any updates on SOFI?
How about if compared to breville bambino?
4:53... weights about as much as a dose of coffee and is more fragile than the male ego"... liked and subbed. Nice machine, I would worry about how long the 'electronics' lasts. The GCP 'dimmer mod' allows for similar pressure ramp-up/down.
So basically we're almost there. Just add bluetooth / wifi, volumetric and pressure control and we have near perfect machine for 600 USD.
I'll stick to my Rancilio Sylvia. It's clearly the blueprint for this cheap knock off. Like the video, BTW. 👍
Unfortunately not available in Europe, even if it is used as a base for Kafmasino. It would beat most of the machines up to 1 k€ or even slightly more. But when thinking about efficiency, nothing can beat thermoblock (Ascaso, Decent).
There's a company in Europe Turing these machines into something like a budget decent, looks awesome. Around 1000€ and you get full profile programming and a display
14:14 Using a $365 filter on a $500 espresso machine 😁
Maybe it’s ‘just’ the $85 basket.
(Weber calls their outrageously expensive portafilter a ‘unifilter’)
Haha it’s just the basket but 90% of the testing was done with a regular VST basket.
Speaking of design 😂 I am a little bothered by the lines holding your neon logo
Haha I hate them too but they're a bit of a pain to remove in post
I think you might have meant (in regard to purchasing the Apex…) “ Before you pull the TRIGGER?” Just thinking.
Yup with respect to the apex.
@@aramseAgreed, as yours is a most peaceful channel. 🖖
homie get that plant a pot 😭
I’d rather pay for quality and this machine doesn’t have it.
GOD DAMN IT !!!! - IT IS 500 .- DOLLARS !!!! - FULL YEAR SALARY IN 50 COUNTRIES !!!! - JUNK , JUNK , JUNK !!!! LOOKS AWFUL !!!!
