I'm pretty sure the reason some people are complaining about the temperature is just that they're putting in cold water and expecting the machine to heat it for them (like the drip machines they're probably used to).

Those "six random character" companies are throwaways. Amazon requires a US legal company name, so these companies will bulk register a bunch of names so that once the review of their scam products catch up with them, they just ditch the company name, throw a new stencil on the box, and then resell the same garbage under a new name.

When you first showed it I thought it was going to be a portable regular pod brewer to brew your K cups. I think that would be easier to accomplish than making fake espresso.

This device is a prime example of "why not just buy an aeropress"

I found you through your silent shorts, and this is the first longform video i've seen. I love it just as much!! Theres something so wholesome about your vibe, it really creates a nice little safe space on the internet. Thanks for bringing comfort to not only me, but many others ❤

Amazon reviews are always so fun I love stumbling on the really psychotic ones

Looking at those reviews on Amazon, it seems the main reason people thought the coffee was too cold was because they didn’t realise this doesn’t have a boiler in it. They put cold water in and got cold coffee out. Seems most people don’t mind the terrible underextracted element of the coffee produced.

I really appreciate you saying you washed the machine this time! I'm sorry if I made you uncomfy or self conscious with my last comment. I over worry that people don't know that they should wash things before using/wearing them, and I was worried you might be one of those people. I mean my wife didn't know she should wash clothes from department stores or even Goodwill before wearing them. Suffice it to say, you're an internet person whose content I enjoy very much and I was worried for your safety, but I apologize if I overstepped in my last comment.

Morgan found more nice things to say about the MRE coffee than this. That's some impressive badness!

Please, I absolutely need to know - what is this clock called and where to get one? I love it!

I am just fascinated by the clock in the back changing time.

Great video. It seems like it’s really designed for pods - that brew basket looks like an off-the-shelf reusable k-cup. Why anyone would want a device centered around pods that does none of the few things a pod machine actually does sort of right (keeping dose, water volume, and water temperature consistent) is beyond me though. It’s fast, I guess?

I keep being tempted to add more and more affordable coffee brewers to make up for not having an espresso machine but I just dont use anything other than my aeropress or my moka pot. I do enjoy watching these sorts of reviews when i get the urge to get another toy though. Recently splurged on a Timemore C3 to replace the £5 Aldi hand grinder i was using before.

Just letting you know how much i love abd appreciate your content, thank you Morgan!

"I don't know why I keep sipping as if something will change." How very James Hoffman of you. LOL

Having to source the coffee of course but also hot water, I’m struggling to see what the use case is supposed to be for this brewer.

"I am tickled by it's size" story of my life

Morgan and others make this Coffee journey a very Fun journey Thank You

This is my first time watching their larger videos. I’ve always seen the shorts. They sound exactly how I expected and I love them 😭😭

I tried listening as best as I could but oh my gosh your clock is so cool that it distracted me a lot xD Whenever the time would change I would get a shot of dopamine and I would smile so much haha

Morgan: I apologize for the sound of the train... Me: _... What train? All I hear is jazz._

Really interested to see what your thoughts on the Flair NEO Espresso Maker!

My tip for everyone: I got an aeropress for makeshift espresso so I can make Starbucks drinks at home, and I am SATISFIED. It tastes like fine coffee to me. I did a bunch of research on espresso at home before I got it so I figured I’d share with everyone here

Love the mini scoop 😂

Looking forward to this!

I love your video and love that you don’t have a ton of cuts in your speaking like others do

Looks like something you would add to a keurig machine.

Looks to me like this coffee maker is trying to be a Keurig and an Aeropress at the same time and fails miserably at being either one.

I like to preheat my cups and brewing receptecal especially in winter with steam. Just let the boiling tea kettle steam in the upside down cup etc.

Just put a pod in it! That will probably work much better with this short time of brewing. Kind of only diluting.

one interesting machine for espresso you can get is the DeLonghi Caffe Pronto (yes, that is the way that cafe is spelled on this machine), trying to find a date on it is hard and I have been unsuccessful in finding out when it was released, but some interesting attributes are that this espresso maker does not and cannot be tamped, because it has internal ridges on the chamber in which the coffee is held, and it somehow operates on only 2 bars of pressure.

On a much larger scale, using a tiny scoop to press down a large round of coffee is what my dad did when he would brew his... 40 cup pot of coffee.

I was concerned about how fast that coffee filled the cup 🤣

Would it be safe to say the chemical bitterness is from the center of the puck being overextracted and the sourness is from the outside being underextracted? Sounds like my espressos when I had a bad grinder... Tasted like pillwater and vinegar.

Im kinda curious what would happen if you could 1) find something to tamp with that fit the basket and 2) went with an even finer grind like Turkish coffee

Hey i bet that scoop has a really good personality. It looks average to me

What do you do with the brewers that you don't keep or like? I've always wondered this.

House plants always enjoy coffee regardless how bad it is

"Regardless it does exist" high praise

Hi Morgan, what is your favorite coffee? ❤

Do you think if you place a smaller amount of coffee and added a small round paper filter in the brew basket might help with the extraction?

Am I the only one who was more focused on the amazing clock in the background? 🤣

Oh God, I can't stop laughing. I swear I can't breath. Getting a bit dizzy here.🤣

That's another fine mesh you've gotten us into, Morgan. 😂

this is off-topic but where did you get the neat-looking clock behind you?

I was scared for your health when you drank the second cup😅😂

Such a tiny little basket could be said to be… tamper resistant? Eh? Eh?

If the name is something incoherent like that, chances are it's been bought wholesale from Alibaba and the trademark was basically forged lol

Ultimately that spike that creates a mega channel is what does this in

Hi Morgan First of all, thank you for all the great KZfaq videos! I have a request and hope you will take it. It's like this... I have just started my Espresso journey, but are lost. I had a small budget so I went out on the used market. Because I'm a noob I bought a De'Longhi Dedica EC 685 and for grinder I bought a KitchenAid Artisan 5KCG100 and a bottomless pf. Sometimes I think I have pulled a perfect shoot, because the dripping becomes as one in the center in the basket and its consistent, but also the Dedica makes less noise. But the taste of the espresso is really rough in my world, it's strong and bitter. Anyway I have stumbled on something that might be the flaw in this setup and it's the grinder. Some say in reviews that this grinder can't grind for unpressurized baskets. But when I read in the manual it tells me that it can grind as fine as 250 microns and on charts that I have looked at 250 microns is what a fine espresso grind should be. So I'm a bit lost here, so I wonder if you would review a similar KitchenAid Grinder? Because I saw your project you did with the old kitchenAid Dual boiler espressomaschine. I believe also that KitchenAid produced this grinder for that Espresso machine. Please help, I'm lost!

SO many creators with their own coffees. Can we get a roundup/blind taste test?

I wanna know where you got your clock 😀

Can we talk about that clock on your counter though

Would had been great to taste the coffee from this machine next to let’s say aeropress. Who knows is the “chemical” “artificial”like notes are from the coffee itself (some producers are doing questionable processes lately too). Cheers 🥃

It does seem more like it’s meant for a kcup with the needle at the top of it. Interesting

Beautiful slide 9.5/10

Lol don’t drink chemically coffee just to not waste it. Bless it! I wonder if you are suppose to run water through it a few times before actually using coffee. It is really sad when something doesn’t work out when you can tell they tried to design it well. (Is that sentence weird?!?! Lol ) thank you for being the guinea pig. I live all your videos. When you were watching it brew I had flashbacks to your shorts when you play the part of a kid. ❤️❤️❤️Too cute! Have a great day!

beautiful

I appreicate your sacrifice.

What exactly is the electronic part of this brewer supposed to be doing? I assumed it was to build pressure but that's clearly not the case because it can't make espresso.

I'm sorry but I was distracted by your clock in the background this whole video. Where did you get it?!

I wonder if the spike is there to puncture the lid of a K cup pod

YAYAYAYAYA NEW VIDEO^^

grind your own coffee, heat your own water… so it’s a pour-over with added electric lights? 😂

"There goes my tongue."

Listen, this is 5 stars for me.

Might be a Roman V which is also a U? So Frossut?

What is the clock called??? I NEED IT

아삿추, newer drink combo I’m seeing in Korea. Iced tea with a shot of espresso

I wonder if the commenters who thought the coffee wasn’t hot enough added room temp water in like a Keurig…

I know why these things are always marketed as simulating espresso for cheap, but like... if they marketed and engineered around filter I wonder if they'd do better

Youre so inspiring i love you videos morgan

Will you be putting this up on your local buy nothing Facebook page? 😂

2:10 come on man, that's an average size!

you can freeze your boiling water. if you want boil water on the go.

I'm not even sure they're using a food safe plastic. I do wonder if the addition of a puck screen on top might help with extraction, if you could find something that would fit. I doubt this particular machine is worth the effort though.

The Dan Howell of beans ?

Honestly, if it's a grab and go brewer that doesn't heat the water, that's a pass. I'm not going to want to find a source of nearly boiling water on the go. At that point, a pour over device would be just as easy.

Side note: Morgan “accidentally” spilt the coffee on the way to the office. 😅

Be interested what you think of the Outin brewer?

Wait, it brewed too quickly and was under-extracted so you ground the coffee more coarsely? I'm very confused.

Hello there❤

The clock originated in the office of Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks.

I'm here just to hear you say that name haha

Also sonepeople want lava, so i got to believe some people say cold when they mean not burning hot, which fair but a bit confusing for me since not what i call cold

Maybe it'd be better at some types of tea?

It's good at making: Brown.

Coffee👍

I like the setting but the clock in the background is super distracting (numbers jumping, video edits made become more obvious through time jumps, etc).

The background music sounds similar to what unemployedwineguy uses when he tries to make cocktails with Malort, which is fitting given how bad the coffee turned out lol

SANTOOOOOOOOSSS GALOOOOOOOOOOOO

i would give it a solid 1 star just for the fact that it doesn't boil the water

im almost positive people left it to "brew" too long then came back and the coffee was cold bc there is no warmer.

Wow. Nice hair. Oh anyway, 30 seconds brew I'd normally be like yeah baby espresso time. Nah not even that, it just wastes both your time and choicest of coffee rather quite efficiently. *Impeccable value.* Perfect device to plant on the desk of an office colleague you don't like which beats putting plutonium in their coffee mug I guess.

Lungo🎉

At 40yo and after 25ish years of being a coffee drinker I'd rather straight up just not drink coffee than be given coffee that bad....(it literally looked like dirt water)...

Hi, Morgan drinks Coffee, that feels like force advertising in this instance, did not sound like you were drinking coffee. Thanks, and commiserations, that looked painful.

Looks like a cross between an aeropress and a moka pot. That first cup you made looked like sludgy french press or really old cold brew... 2nd cup didn't look much better. Worst of both worlds, I guess

Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike coffee- coffee maker.
