ok first day of trade today with the new beastie on the bench and the coffee that its making is just terrific! we're using 22g VST baskets which are just lovely to work with and state of the art Everpure Extra Large Claris Water Filtration systems with the machine, along with a dedicated hard wired 32amp circuit, foot pedal activated steam power, and the optional flat additional cup holder on top bit of a steep learning curve this morning, and still a couple of variables that I want to iron out - but there's plenty of power on demand, which means that we're able to pull some awesome shots the machine definitely feels a bit more 'mechanical' to use than what I'm used to - you need to actively drive and manage the variables, but the trade off is just awesome coffee splashed out and bought some Costa Rica Geisha to put through the machine - and I really enjoyed it as both a long and short black - although the long black seemed to draw out the fruit more, which was just lovely! photos to follow!
