Same 😂

Same

Same here, and I’m unboxing now 😅

As did I just now lol

Hi everyone could one of you possibly tell me what size portafilter is? I’ve been doing some research and I can’t seem to figure out what size it is!!! Thank you in advance

Glad I could help!

Convenience store cappuccino is just a powder like Nestle Quik. It's fun but it's not coffee.

I can totally agree with the sentiment, lol. Cheers, Larry!@@TheLarryBrown

You're welcome

Oh also, tips for making your coffee taste like Dutch bros (for iced drinks) Small: 8oz, double shot Medium: 12oz, double shot Large: 16oz, quad shot Our scoops for flavor is 2tsp and most coffees get 1 scoup. Cooling the drink is exceptionally important. We get your drink cool fast by having a cup filled with ice and another cup we build the drink in, once it's done we pour the coffee back and forth and that makes the drink cool super fast. Another thing, try to use half and half if you get a breve, chocolate milk if you get mochas. And we use only Torani brand for our flavors.

Lol, you are wanting those features on a $50 machine

@LuisC202 I'm used to a $1200+ commercial machine, I don't really know how the at home systems work so much

For sure! I'm also very impressed by the performance, can't wait to try non-pressurized coffee baskets on this machine next week. And yes, the dial is very confusing, I usually set it at minimum, but I've found you can manually brew 1 or 2 espresso shots and then put a frothing pitcher and press the froth button, and catch enough milk/froth to get the right ratio of coffee to milk and foam, once in the pitcher you can tap and swirl the jug to get a more even consistency and then pour on your espresso cup. The machine surprisingly does achieve some microfoam!

@Kingdannet4043… Thank you for your input because those stats for the drinks you make are helpful when trying to make our at home concoctions!… Thank you so much!

You’re welcome 😊

​@@JustADad Could you help me enjoy such a wonderful machine? When I turn on my machine, I put it in cleaning mode, filling the water tanks, settling the tanks well by pressing the option. Cleaning does not carry out its process, it just beeps and comes up with all the options, what else should I do?

Glad it helped!

You got this!

You are so welcome!

will last about 33 days

Same thing I was thinking. I sent my husband to buy this one thinking it was the chefman brand. Hoping it works just as well!

You are so welcome!

Glad it helped!

Glad it helped

You are do welcome

You're still going to have to wipe the shower head regardless of what basket you use. Wiping the shower head with a paper towel literally takes 5 seconds, so if you are "really tired" of doing that, you must be really tired indeed.

You're very welcome

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! I had just backed it back up to return it, because only 2 icons were on. Can't wait to try it in the morning.

That's a joke, isn't it dad?

@@TheLarryBrown yes daughter

You are welcome!

15 bar

All pump driven home machines are 15 bar.

If you could share, let us know how it does with a finer grain. I'm getting mine tomorrow and am unsure what coffee to get for it

@Jonnymg4 I'm gonna end up just doing what he said and do medium because I don't have a grinder so I'm gonna go to Starbucks to grind it

​@@OneReligionOneIslamYou will get better results with a fine grind.

Glad you enjoyed it

@@JustADad subbed

Are you tamping the ground coffee? if not that could cause the water to run through it too quickly and get a weak result.

What are the variables under the control of a more expensive machine that could give a better result? Pressure, time, temperature, design of the filter pod....that's about it. Just a dad measured the temp and it was as desired. This machine is 15 bar pressure. Assuming that's true, it's the same as an expensive machine...15 bar. Time is a question but I'm confident the times on the auto buttons are good, otherwise you could always control the time manually. So then the only thing an expensive machine could do differently is the design of the pod. This pod is the same as used in most any machine, I don't see an expensive machine having a better pod. Conclusion: This machine should do just as well as a $250 machine...but anyway this is not a $50 machine....this is a $150 machine. I think your weak results are coming from some combination of: * not enough ground coffee or too much time/water on the pour * Grind is too fine, * tamping is too hard or not hard enough, * your coffee beans don't taste like what you expect, * the exact same coffee will taste better coming from a $750 machine than it does coming from a $50 machine, let's call that "The expensive Italian machine effect." Purists will complain about a plastic flavor coming from plastic hoses that are absent in an expensive machine, but you aren't complaining about that. You can see in the video that dad got good crema, that's a good indication of good/proper espresso. Are you getting crema as good as shown in the video? If so, I suspect your espresso is coming out good and it's your bias and expectations that are a problem. If not, then you are not getting the same results from this machine that dad is getting, meaning you're doing something wrong. What brand coffee are you using? Who is grinding it and how and when? What type of grinder? How old are those beans? How do you think you have the experience to know how to tamp properly? From where comes the espresso that you think is good? How is that process different than the one used by this machine? My own opinion: Other than the "plastic" issue, this machine should be able to make espresso as good as any expensive machine.

Nevermind, found the issue, don't put the brother dial at the Maximum setting or it will just dump warm milk into your cup, for proper frothing you need to keep it between 2 to 6pm, you'll feel some resistance while turning the dial which means it's working!

I would also like to know the answer, can't find it anywhere. 😃

Fascinating.

Must of been a bad batch, because mine was cracked. Contacted Gourmia and they are suppose to send me a new one. I'm still waiting for it.

@sly5789 I tried the number online how did u contact them

Yes

Not recommended to use flavored anything with your coffee equipment. Better to just make plain coffee and then flavor it with a shot of syrup in the cup, as dad did here. That's because those coffee flavorings are very strong, smelly, and cloying and may leave a permanent aroma on your equipment. That said, almond milk, sure that will work but may not foam as well as hoped. Be aware that milk substitutes are sweet and so don't add any sugar until after tasting the final mix, and then go easy on the sugar. Milk substitutes, yes. Coffee creamers, probably not. That's because coffee creamers are designed to only use a small amount per cup of coffee and this foamer will put way more than that. I think that would come out inedible.

it is gonna explode

@@jot5445 it's okay if it does, cuz it is only 50 $

@@sttof10 but your face probably worth more than that haha 😂

@@jot5445 thanks, but I'll run before 😂

Regular temp water, the machine will heat it up as you select an option

regular tap water or bottled water. The machine will take care of heating the water for you.

Room temperature bottled spring water. Never use tap water and don't believe anyone (especially not the manufacturer) that says otherwise. The machine does not heat up the water like you are thinking. The water remains cool in the plastic reservoir at all times. Instead a pump driven espresso machine like this uses a flash heater to heat the water as it passes through the machine on it's way to your cup.

no just turn the side switch off

I'll do that right now: Mr. Coffee: $150. Chefman: $140. Gourmia: $50 or less. Make your own judgement, I know what mine is.

Unfortunately not

@@JustADad okay, thanks. Just playing around with it and am not sure if the eggnog is too thick or it's just not powerful enough to use it. Thanks!

Has anyone experienced the display not working and only showing espresso?? I bought two of them and both machines are only showing espresso

​@@genellam6206push your frother in all the way

@@genellam6206do you have the milk dispenser set all the way in until you hear a click? If not, the full main panel won’t light up.
