Here I've been trying to fancy up iKAPE by pronouncing it I-ka-pay. Either way they're on my wish list.
For mostly brewing half carafs would you recommend kb or kbgv.
I stepped up to the KBGT brewer, which I like better than the KBT.
Very informative. Thank you
Can you add milk to it after it’s brewed?
Sure you can!
Hi, Thank you for the video and could you help me? How can I unblock the machine. It already block I cannot reset.
Thanks, Ryan! I was wondering about the key differences between Luna and Pratica grinding profiles. It seems that Luna is an upgrad but i still don't get it by just reading the tecnical details. Have you heard anything about it?
Shout to sabrina carpenter she was drinking that in 2016
hi! My ditting motor smells. Where can I spray some rust remover or lubricant?
Is it a burning smell? That would indicate a winding failure, and there is no lubricant solution for that. We would advise replacing the motor drive assembly or even investing in a new grinder.
Can I use this with new linea mini R plastic double spout ?
Good question! Unfortunately we don't have one around to test it out.
AVOID the Moccamaster KBT. Their carafe shatters and Moccamaster's warranty does not cover it. Had it for 2 years using it on weekends, shattered yesterday. Customer service's response was almost insulting. "The borosilicate glass lining can be easily damaged when it comes into contact with anything abrasive. The carafe is not covered under warranty. We are happy to offer 20% off and free shipping on a replacement. An invoice with a discount applied has been sent. Once completed, you will receive tracking information." If the carafe so delicate why sell it? The only thing my carafe came in contact with was: hot water, coffee grounds, dish soap and an Ikea soft bristle dish brush. And gall of their customer support believing I would repurchase another carafe if there is no warranty… I have no nice words to reply to that… For a $340 coffee maker, I expected much better.
Or just get a Lilly drip set for different flow rates instead of paying for expensive filters 🤷🏼♂️
Which is the best?
You don't need to be drinking coffee in your car. Take the coffee with you, drink it when you arrive. Why do you Americans make such a big deal of whether a beverage container fits in your car's cup holder? Do you plan to stay hours on end in your car!?
Your La Pavoni is even more hiliarious and noisy than my La Pavoni Esperto. Congrats!
Is it possible to make whipped cream with it also?
If you use N2O cartridges instead of N2 cartridges, and remove the aerator from the nozzle, yes.
Does it need a water pump?
There is an internal pump that generates pressure for extraction, but you do need a way to move water into the machine. Generally this is done by connecting to the municipal water supply, which is under pressure. If the machine is drawing from a water reservoir (like a 5 gallon jug or something) then yes, you would need to buy a pump to move the water from the jug to the machine. Check out Caffewerks pump/accumulators on our website if you need one!
What grind setting should you use for a Bialetti mocha pot?
Around 30% (100% being the coarsest) of the grind range should do, but you have lots of flexibility with a Moka Pot.
Now I want a nitro cold brew
Any tips for Italian soda mis en place? What flavor did you do?
We muddled strawberries, blueberries and blackberries with sugar/water and strained it to make a killer simple syrup. We used a syrup pump in a jar to dispense it (I think around 6-7 pumps?), topped with cold sparking water and a few ounces of heavy cream. It was SO good.
@@primacoffeeequipmenthot diggity daffodil that sounds great.
where is part 5 😂❤🎉
It premieres tomorrow, August 10, at 9:30am EST. Cheers!
One clarifcation we'd like to make: Pitcher rinsers will function under a wide spectrum of water pressures, and they do not need to be matched to a pump/accumulator system with a specific or correlating GPM rating. Virtually any pump/accumulator system will be compatible with virtually any pitcher rinser out there.
So the lab sweet can single dose espresso correct? and you recommend single origin? Why's that?
Absolutely, the Lab Sweet can be used as a single dose espresso grinder. Better yet, the 807 Lab Sweet ESP version is optimized for this purpose. We don't necessarily recommend single origin, but it is common for cafes to use their primary espresso grinders for espresso blends and a secondary grinder for on-demand single-dosing of other coffees. Single origin coffees are just one example.
Is plastic and the filter, not intended!
any of them have glass or ceramic reservoir? any metal or plastic poisoning?
No, none of them have glass or ceramic reservoirs.
Question, are you going to attach the equipment to the cart so you can move it with the equipment on top or are you going to set up every time and have all the equipment separate?
We did not secure our equipment to the cart at this stage because we wanted to give everything a trial run or two. But when you're confident you have your setup just right, it is very nice to have everything tied down.
@@primacoffeeequipmentcool! What are you planning on using to get it all tied down?
@@annekabower5319 We haven't explored this too much, but one thing you could do is find bolts that match the threads of the feet on the equipment. Maybe take out the feet and modify or replace them with something to act as a bushing or spacer. You would want a rubber grommet to absorb some of the vibrations.
Amazing build Prima! For us, since we always have a waste bin with us for our empty milk container, garbage, etc, we don’t fuss with a knock box, we just use a rectangle 32 gallon can. Works like a dream!
Is this grinder recommended for low volume coffee shops?
I need one! But I prefer all stainless steel commercial grade with wheels. Owner of a Profitec Pro 500 and Profitec T-64 grinder, both really heavy!
It might be parental exhaustion, but that opening music has me grooving. On a content related note, I like that you all are showing the process of fitting everything together and troubleshooting the layout as you go. How many pucks can that drawer hold?
Same on the parental exhaustion music jams.
I'm going to have to guess on this one, but I think about 25-30 pucks.
Thanks for the vid
Did the Bonavita Enthusiast product get pulled off the market? It is not available at Prima’s website and everywhere else I can find it listed. The product page was also taken down from Bonavita’s official website. Seems strange since it was only launched a few months ago.
As far as we know it's on an extended back order, expected to be availble by Fall 2024.
I have a young child so the safety concern you mentioned is a real concern to me (and thanks for mentioning that!). What’s the name of the alternative grinder you mentioned? Sorry I couldn’t quite catch it
The alternative he recommended was the Baratza Virtuoso+, which is still a great choice. Also, the new Option-O Lagom Casa grinder does have protection from the burrs.
@@primacoffeeequipment Thanks so much for your reply. I will take a look at these options as well.
Really good review and explanation of OE's. Thank you!
I can’t freaking get it off! We’ve tried for so long and cannot get it to twist into the unlock portion
There are probably some coffee grounds in the way of the locking mechanism on the underside of top cover. We would put a flat head screwdriver against one of the pegs in the in the adaptor cover (where the hopper fits in) and hit the end of the screwdriver with a hammer to get it to unlock.
@@primacoffeeequipment This worked! Thanks!
Thank you
Best scale is a spoon and experience. No need for all that at home. Do you use scales and timers to make tea? Let that sink in.
what is the mesh pore size?
We don't have that info, but it handles a fine grind pretty well. Some very small particles definitely permeate the mesh.
Love the electrical info
hi. How many oz is your cups and how big is that pitcher?
Actually Timemore are Chinese grinders, and 1zpresso are from Taiwan. It doesn't speak about quality, but if you'd like to say it, it is worth saying it more precisely
@@vadims4840 Both Timemore and 1Zpresso hand grinders are definitely made in China. 1Z is only headquartered in Taiwan. Their factory is in China.
@@primacoffeeequipment It's like someone says "here are apple iphone and google pixel, and we gonna compare them. Both are Chinese phones, but we have no others (basically there are some Indian apples also)". Truth, but still more common to name the country of manufacturer by where the brain is located, not the hands
Important note: because you fill this before every use, there will be a ton of air in the chamber. You ABSOLUTELY need to purge a lot of steam to get rid of that air for your first drink or you’ll get huge nasty bubbles. Trick is to fill a cup of water and purge in the water until it gets hot, about 20-30 seconds. Then bring the pressure back to 3 bars and you’re good to go for 2 or 3 drinks in a row.
Thanks for the comment. I had problems with inconsistency and milk expanding so much because of bubbles. But purging with water before milk helped a lot.
@@bananapie469 yep. Learned this the hard way. When purging in water, you can visually see the air as bubbles. Whereas purging in a towel, you have no clue. After the water purge. You purge again in the air to get rid of the water. Then you get perfect steam for the latte.
Showed nothinghow you use?😊
Perfect guide. Thanks for creating and sharing this.
I'm using a 2151xts and I'm grinding 120g to make 2.0L but the coffee bed is shallow. Any solutions?
Good concept poorly implemented. The case is made of weak plastic that starts crumbling after few months.
I know that nowadays the Encore ESP is more suitable for espresso. That said, can one get by with dialing in good espresso shots with the Virtuoso+? Thanks!
Reaally great comparison! Congrats! I appreciate a good homemade coffee but I'm not a coffee aficionado. I take turns between espresso (Delonghi Dedica) and pour over coffee at home. Do you think the Virtuoso+ would be suitable for both modalities? Thanks!
The new Encore ESP would actually be a better fit if you're brewing both espresso and pour over. The ESP features the same burr as the Virtuoso+, so you get the same grind quality but with a micro-adjustment that allows you to dial in grind for espresso much easier.
really wish it would have notified me on your site that its recommended to buy the 1 KG weight for calibration after shipping.
I have the smaller Bee House dripper and get a good cup of coffee even without all the measuring gear using her bloom and then 2 pours method. I may look into that stirring thing. Prima Coffee is a good company to order from.
