Such an amazing grinder in this price bracket. You really don’t need anything else . Only thing to note, the magnets on the lid are quite strong and take a bit of force to remove. I fat fingered it while removing and dropped the lid on my tile floor. I now have a small dent in the top edge of the lid. . . entirely my own fault. Hopefully Varia will sell the lid separately?
I felt I needed a bigger dose than I could fit in my handle/basket.
This handle allows larger basket sizes.
A couple of things I have noticed.
The handle on the handle tends to unscrew when I’m using it, which is a nuisance.
The handle does not have an adjustment to balance the division like my old handle does.
I suspect I will get a good result from this handle as I fine tune dose and bring to suit the coffee.
Terrible service and no idea if the product is any good because I am still waiting to receive it almost a month after purchasing it. I understand that the shipping company might lose things from time to time but the poor communication and slow action to replace the item that was lost has been terrible. More than 28 days and I’m still waiting.
Looks beautiful and grinds perfectly. Like that it's a little slower than most as less heat created and comes out nicely without clumps... Did have a lose maintenance nut that causes issues before I realised, no biggie but worth checking.. and wasn't sent the day I ordered like the website claims which was made worse by customer service lying and saying it has been sent when tracking info proves it hadn't.. but that's not the grinders fault.. doesn't say it's gen2 anywhere so hopefully they sent the right one.
Purchased ECM Genuine Naked/Bottomless Portafilter Handle for use on ECM Mechanika Slim 6 and it is excellent and I use it on cups and shots with 20-21g of coffee straight from grinder. Very happy with product and service from Di Pacci.
Parts were non existent in Australia. Service techs didn't want to touch it. Broke down twice in 4 years. Not good value. Better off putting your money into a really good grinder and a breville coffee machine
Title says it all. Well made, works perfectly, easy to operate and maintain. Looks and sounds pro. Nothing bad about it, love it!
I have used a Bialetti coffee pot for at least 25 years and rings and filters fine until my recent purchase. Poorer quality probably due to keeping price down and using cheaper materials. VERY DISAPOINTING.
This is my second Pullman basket, for my second machine which I use at work. The basket ensures much better extraction and a better tasting coffee than what was available with the baskets supplied with each machine. I use it in my Simonelli Oscar 2. Well worth spending the money in improved flavour.
We have a new coffee machine and working our way through Coffees. After Dark Blend Dipacci is the best yet. Strong coffee taste yet smooth - love it.
The grinder has stopped working less than one week out of the box. It consistently jambs even after a thorough cleaning. I suspect it is the motor, which after reading through other complaints, seems to be an issue with the Gen 1 model. Pretty disappointed after spending the extra money for this grinder.
Thought I would give this a month or so before reviewing. I’m very happy, big upgrade from the Breville Bambino Plus. PID, Pre Infusion and 9 to 9.5 bar pressure from factory. Heat up time quicker than expected, but will be a few minutes longer come winter. Haven’t had a problem at all with this machine. I have Reverse Osmosis water and salesperson told me that machine will be fine with RO. (I asked because from my reviews and research you need minerals in the tank for the sensors to determine water level; not magnetic; or maybe the piece of paper was outdated). Regardless, I added the Third Wave Water Minerals, A. to look after the internals and B. Magnesium for the flavor. Couldn’t be happier with this machine. Hope DIPACCI will service this well in the future
