Thanks for the video. Just bought this same machine but I find myself having to slightly hold the machine in place while installing the portafilter due to its resistance. Do you find yourself having to do the same? I've noticed yours installed easier.
I do have to also hold the machine when inserting the portafilter. Unfortunately most 'at home' coffee machines will be like this due to them not having the weight to resist the locking in of the portafilter. It's like screwing a lid on a bottle really tight to prevent a leak, you always have to hold the lid and the bottle to achieve this. In commercial machines they weigh a significant amount more so they don't experience these issues. Hope this helps.
It’s only for the UK/ Europe edition of the Café Lux; it also has its own hot water button feature as well, with the water nozzle again only for the UK version.
@@Para_Reviews they are doing an Osborne. Remember that computer company? Probably not, announced a new computer when they had sizeable inventory of their original computer. Everyone stopped buying b/c they wanted the new one and would wait. Well, it never showed up since the company went bankrupt carrying inventory they couldn’t move. I’ve had a Luxe in my Amazon shopping basket early on, just wanted to wait and see a few more reviews. And noticed I couldn’t get americano. Then I saw the UK version and my purchase is permanently on-hold until I can get the better version.
Americano is nowhere near the same as quad. Quite the opposite. Quad is 4 espresso, americano is watered down espresso. Named for the soldiers in Italy WWII who couldn’t take the strong stuff, I believe. My question, I want to buy one, how can I ensure I get one with this feature? I’m in Canada, not Britain.
hot water comes out like me going for a wee after 10 pints
And the coffee is you on the crapper the day after 10 pints? 😆

Can you change the volume as that didnt fill the cup. Or it manual everytime after
Manual eveeytime I believe. I'm away currently but will explore more of the machine when I'm back
What model is this mine does not have the americano function?Thanks!
European model (UK)
Is Americano same as "Quad"? - I don't have the Americano option on mine... :/... I have Quad instead.

@@JohnP.6775 Oh, OK, thanks. So stupid to offer those options only for one market... :/
Soon I believe there will be 3 versions available in all markets. The next level up will have an integrated tamper.

I believe it is just a waiting game until the next versions are released in the US/CA market.
Buy it from UK or Germany end of October 😊
Great feature but it sounds like shit.
