Fellow absolutely CRUSHING it lately. I bought myself a Fellow Ode Gen 2 w/ SSP burrs and it's fantastic.

@calebschwarz1529 Ай бұрын

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the xBloom Studio! I personally think you'll love the flavor profile of the grinder turned all the way down to 60 rpm, as it can hit some massive clarity and high extractions. I'll see you at the next show!

maybe the best product of all were the friends we made along the way just kidding, it was robot barista

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

@Ebraheimi Ай бұрын

Honestly I’m really most excited about the Breville. Might not make the greatest coffee compared to other brands in the market but the coffee is still really good especially for your average user. At companies, one of the BIGGEST issues with trying to get an espresso machine is that they are not fool proof to the average person with no experience and they require someone dedicated to maintaining them. This more or less self cleans and does all the difficult steps for the user. Just wish they made it plumable

@youtubeprofile2070 Ай бұрын

I'm really curious about the Breville Oracle Jet's cold brew and iced coffee options. Can't seem to find any info about these.

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

Wish I spotted them so I could ask while I was there. You all have good eyes

@kennethpedersen2190 Ай бұрын

The Zerno looks really nice, but with an estimated dispatch in January 25…….9 month……. My girl can make a baby in that time

@ConradPisaro 6 күн бұрын

Any idea when that new Varia smaller espresso scale will get released? I don't want to get the existing one only to find out I could have waited a month for a smaller form factor

Unfortunately I don't know exact timing, sorry

@ConstantMotionJS Ай бұрын

Maybe the VS6 will not have the gears break like the VS3 gen 1 and 2… if they still did not fix that, then they should re evaluate selling grinders.

@Mar-sr5uf Ай бұрын

What are your thoughts on fellow aiden vs the xbloom for the enthusiast that enjoys the above average cup of coffee? Thanks!

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

Depends on what grinder you will be pairing with Aiden, and if you typically brew single cups at a time or larger batches

@mikni4069 Ай бұрын

The Aiden, as it dos both single cup and batch, lot of customisation of profiles and it’s nice to see they gave lot of thought about temperature and at an actual manageable price point. X-bloom is still a fun concept and it’s good they now allow more, I do still think they need to make a grinder less version and a more appealing price point. Not many are going to find it a good investment especially now they Aiden is out, the first also had serious issues with brewing high EY% with very light roast.

@echoyan420 Ай бұрын

I feel like this one looks very expensive, especially with the LED display......not sure how much it will be, guess?

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

Aiden is $365 MSRP

@ojtsmith Ай бұрын

1 cup to 10 cups with precise temperature control. Isn’t that what the Sage/Brevill Precisions Brewer promises?

@fergaloleary1295 Ай бұрын

Is the Fellow better than the Sage Precision Brewer? Have had the latter for years, may be due an upgrade.

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

From a temperature, accuracy and brewing dynamics perspective I think it would definitely be a step up from the Breville. As always, more importantly, will be what grinder you choose to pair with with it

@fergaloleary1295 Ай бұрын

Thank you Sir. 😊

@Kats072307 Ай бұрын

Wasn't there in Expo any new espresso machine ? Aren't they developing any ? Like the Rocket Biccoca ? And no, Breville develops appliances, not machines. La Marzocco should bring more "features" to their newest machine, Micra Synesso should show more their new home machines Where were they in the EXPO ? There was definitely lots of grinders there. The new Mx Cool, the Mazzer Philos, Zerno ...

@djdnz6230 Ай бұрын

@weiszCoffee Ай бұрын

The Aiden brewer has so many features obviously taken from the Meticulous concept. The round screen, the knob and overall looks

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

Sir... the Fellow Stagg has been around looong before the Meticulous was even a twinkle in their eye. That's a stretch, aha

@yuleowens6441 20 күн бұрын

I think breville dropped the ball without having a dual boiler. I have the barista touch & love. I use it in commercial shoots and often prep 12 drinks same time. So without dual boil option thats impossible. I would have upgraded (one for home) but not with a single boiler.

@LifestyleLab_ 19 күн бұрын

The Barista Touch does not have a dual boiler, I believe you're referring to the Oracle Touch :) This machine is not a replacement for the Oracle Touch, this is a lower model to bridge the gap between the Touch Impress and base Oracle. An upgraded dual heating version is apparently still to come

@miles611 Ай бұрын

Not really any dual boiler home espresso machine focus these days?

@LifestyleLab_ 23 күн бұрын

Truth is a dual boiler really isn't ideal for most homes unless they really need 5+ consecutive drink capacity Home machines are moving towards energy efficiency and user experience

@nichj487 Ай бұрын

Is it just me, or does the design of the Fellow Aiden interface remind anyone else A LOT of the display on the Meticulous?

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

Maybe just in the fact that it's a circle, but Fellow has been doing those for a long long time on the Stagg. Meticulous display is MUCH more high resolution

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

Really not an area that I have much knowledge in, so I don't feel like I could provide particularly valuable content on the subject at this time. But this is a big part of why I wanted to show some awesome local cafes and roasters. Same as my Copenhagen video! Lots of great people spreading producer awareness like Kyle Rowsell, Brian Quan, Lance, etc :)

@veganpotterthevegan Ай бұрын

@LifestyleLab_ that's a great reason to ask questions. This industry exists, largely on the back of essentially slave labor. And specialty coffee isn't alone with exploiting farmers. Anyone that drinks coffee owes the farmers to at least be informed and empathize while we enjoy using grinders that cost more than someone's yearly salary

@LifestyleLab_ Ай бұрын

It is okay to discuss certain topics of an industry without diving into others. Not every equipment discussion needs to also loop in the topic of ethical farming. You can provide value in a certain area, it doesn't mean you're disregarding others.
