Thank you so much! I feel like it's cluttered, so I have to make sure I wipe it down every time 😅 Yes, I do love Guatemalan coffee! Thank you so much for watching 😊
The pump is vibrating so much causing the cups to rattle, and worst when cups are close and touching each other. I suggest to add a silicon mat in the cup warmer to store your cups. Then just run a blank shot to warm up your cup.
It rattles/makes sound even without the cups on top. So at this point I don't really care either way because it's an annoying/disruptive sound no matter what haha including the drip tray rattling a bit too. Definitely a weird flaw on part of the manufacturer! I'll consider placing a mat there. I don't like the idea of silicone/plastic getting heated atop my machine but it might be worth it
Beautiful bar and latte art 💯! Thank you for uploading without music. I needed to hear the machine with it's vibratory pump. However I may decide to look into the Ascaso Baby T with it's rotary pump. I presume it's a more quieter machine. Thanks again and cheers ☕
thank you! yesss i have no problem being transparent about it 😅 and yes you're right the baby T is quieter! you can also check my steel duo review video for more on that
Hi, loved this video! I was wondering what model/brand the cabinet in this video is, it fits your coffee decor really well! If you could give a link to it, that would be amazing!
Thank you so much! I got it online from Target (goto.target.com/6ejarr) and changed the handles to black (amzn.to/3wEMpHI double check the size before buying/installing) I wouldn't recommend it for anything heavier than the setup I currently have (~55lbs in total espresso machine and grinder) because the structure is MDF board rather than chip wood or solid wood. It'd be great for the Breville Barista machines and/or a lighter grinder!
As salamu alaikum. Just stopped by to tell you how much I like your calm videos and that I aspire one day to be able to create something similar myself. I have a cooking channel on yt but not nearly as professional as yours mashAllah. That being said, could you enlighten me on how you record different angles while you make coffee? :)) thank you
Thanks for the content. I just got a Steel Duo. And upon set up, I find that the it doesn't put out any steam. When I turn the steam switch on, I hear it activate. But when I twist the knob to start steaming, nothing comes out. I've reached out to the seller about it. But since you have this model, I wanted to ask if you've ever heard of this issue?
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! I haven't had that problem myself, and off the top of my head I don't recall a specific solution but I might have read of someone else having this issue. Good thing you reached out to the seller; I would search on Reddit to see if anyone had this issue and was able to solve it at home
Thank you for making this video. Just a quick question, because I am not sure I am doing the right thing. I always wash my portafilter with dish soap after use, but I see a lot of people just rinse it out under the hot water from their espresso machine, as you just did. Should I not be using dish soap to clean it. Does that affect the taste?
Ooo great question! I'm not sure if it affects the taste because I haven't done that enough to be able to test it; I imagine any soap and water you're washing with that could leave a residue is what we want to avoid. I do the hot water rinse every single time I pull a shot, and then about once a month I soak the basket and my metal tools in some hot filtered water with Cafiza powder in it. Honestly not much gunk comes out when I do this and I think that's because I'm so good about cleaning everything daily. My shower screen is more of a concern for me than the basket 😅 Long story short, I think it's okay to use dish soap but I think using hot water every time you pull a shot should keep it clean enough to where you don't even need to soap it regularly. Hope that helps!
@@HijabsandAprons thank you so much for your quick reply! I’m going to try cleaning it the way you are doing it. I feel the same way about the shower head too,lol. Thank you again. As always, I love your channel!❤️
hahaha it isn't actually the cups, it's the vibratory pump. most creators put music to cover it up, i'm trying to be transparent about it to help others decide if they want to get this machine or not
Please go back to the old style videos. Talk to us, tell us what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Tell us about the coffee, the machine and taste. ASMR is tedious and has to stop. It’s vacant and vacuous. I don’t mean this to be personal, Sprometheous is the same. It’s not even style over substance, there is no substance.
Just trying something new!! As someone who tries not to show myself or my face on camera, I thought I would show my full espresso bar and just let the process shine. I do plan on doing an updated routine video in which I explain what I'm doing and why (especially for my specific combo of products and machines)! I have this thing where if I've already shared something once (like my espresso routine, on my previous machine), I'm hesitant to share or mention it again because I assume that my audience will find it redundant. But I'm starting to realize that just isn't true for most of my audience 😅 Thank you for watching anyway and for sharing your feedback! I appreciate the honesty 🙏🏼
@@HijabsandAprons your old videos were all excellent, but you have entirely different machinery, along with new skills, knowledge and techniques. I’m sure you would have no problem at all doing vocal piece videos and the viewers would respond positively to it. I always loved your warm, homely style of video. You had something of your own niche as a lot of espresso content creators take such a scientific, super analytical take on the hobby.
Couldn’t disagree more. I really appreciated the real sounds of the shot preparation in this video. It helped me decide not to buy this machine because it’s so loud. What a rude comment.
Really like you station, is so clean! Greetings from Guatemala, hope you enjoy the coffee from there, it's delicious!

@@HijabsandAprons will definitely take a look into that. And thank you for your transparency. We the coffee community greatly appreciate it! ❤️

Can I ask if you have found any information on dampening the sound? I want to get this machine for my wife but I know the sound will bother her.
Banging the grinder?
Beautiful 🤗is the better then the Breville?
Thank you! In nearly all ways, yes. Highly recommend that you check out my review video of the Ascaso machine if you're curious! 😊
Where did you get the mat where you keep your WDT and tamper?

Mmmm delicious, but, could your cups rattle any louder?😉

It’s definitely a drawback of an otherwise beautiful machine. I appreciate your honest presentation. Too loud for me.
