MiiCoffee Apex Espresso at 4ml/sec Flow (excellent)

Here we look at what the MiiCoffee Apex can do when limited to 4ml/sec water flow, as set by the set screw on the valve of the brew boiler circuit. With the water flow reduced from a typical 6-8 ml/sec range, we get a more gentle shot - smoother and very flavorful.

The most even extraction ever seen

The pressure profile is very good, perfect for light roasts

Able to advise rougly how many clockwise turn from minimum flow.

Was it excellent?

The design looks very similar to a Lelit

Tell us more. How many grams of beans? What was the water debit?

@TomsCoffeeCorner 6 ай бұрын

16 grams, 32 grams out or so. Cheers!

how are you adjusting the flow rate? i just got the same machine and still trying to dial it in.

@TomsCoffeeCorner 3 ай бұрын

You need to adjust the little screw near the brew group. I show it in the full review. Cheers!

If I was buying a machine would you recommend this one over the ranchillo silivia

@TomsCoffeeCorner 3 ай бұрын

Based on performance, yes. If heritage is important, then go for the Silvia.

Do you think the legato is reliable and would last over five years

Hello, Tom! Does reducing the flow rate to 4ml/sec will make the pressure higher? I got the same machine yet, having a hard time getting higher than 4 bars

@TomsCoffeeCorner 6 ай бұрын

Try 5-6 ml/sec. That's the sweet spot for me. Also be sure your beans are fresh.

I’m having the same problem

@TravelWithAC 18 сағат бұрын

Just got mine and having the same issue of it not going higher than 4 bars. my flow rate without a portafilter is 3.4ml per second (thats how it came shipped to me) did you fix your problem?

@@TravelWithAC freshness of beans is one of the factors as per Tom. I settled for 6ml/sec and got a fresh bag of beans (1-2weeks from roast date. Also, try to recalibrate your grinder, wdt and as much as possible, keep the tamp pressure consistent when dialing in.

@@olegariomoralesi8038 thanks for the quick response. I've been using different machines over the years so know a bit about espresso. I know there seems to be vat play with thmachine though. different parts in different versions and different flow rates, opv installed or not etc. Beans are a couple weeks past roast. grinder is well (still trying to set it right, but not sure if thats the ONLY factor as changes dont seem to do much) I WDT all the time tamp pressure is always the same (25 or 30lb) I was just unsure of the water thing and dont know if my version came with opv or not. but i think my pressure that my stock machine came with is too low at 3.4ml per seconds. Ill increase that to 5 and play aroudn to see what results come. Ive been wasting some good beans this past 24 hours 😅

17 seconds on grinder settings? how many grams are you grinding?

@TomsCoffeeCorner 6 ай бұрын

16-17 grams. My Specialita is super slow.

You probably got the one with bad burrs. I remember they had a problem with one production. Ask for new burrs and you will be down to 8-9 seconds for 16gram. And nice channel by the way. Glad that I have found you 👍
