Turns out they taste pretty great too. Low acid fruit and light chocolate notes for sure. They say milk chocolate, vanilla, dark cherry. I’m not sure I get the vanilla but the other two are pretty spot on. These will eventually get a bean review post too, but that may take me a while.
Very nice! Have you modded your Gaggia?
Only a little bit so far. I’ve done:
I think that’s it so far. I eventually want to get a Gaggimate but I have other purchases first. I just bought a Cafelat Robot yesterday (ridiculously excited to get it in the mail), and now I’m saving up for a new grinder, and then I’ll get the Gaggimate. So it might be a little while yet, but I’ll get it at some point. I also have a few accessories I want to get, a couple of which are $100-200 so that’ll delay the Gaggimate too most likely. But I’ll have one some day for sure.
Really nice! I’m excited for you both for the robot and the mods and plans for your Gaggia!
I have a MaraX that I’ve adjusted for 9 bar, though I seldom reach that these days since I’m mostly doing turbo shots 2.8 to 3 ratios with fruity light roasts.
I really want a lever machine (maybe a pre-mill Pavoni) but I’m short on space at the moment!
That’sa really nice lever machine. I like the style of the Robot which is a big reason I went for it but Pavoni makes really good ones too. Whenever my Robot comes in the mail I’ll make a few posts about it here, I look forward to doing that.
I look forward to seeing your posts and hearing about your experience with the robot!
