Nice, Marshall. I'm Cal '75. But I think you must have enjoyed a little more tear gas than I did.

Oh hey, that's a refreshing video, thanks for linking! The young Sam (with an embarrassingly baggy/too large lime-green T shirt) with his coffee toys. That's the old Pharos and a Cafelat Royal 57mm tamper btw! How nostalgic!redpig wrote:I can't speak for Paul or the Robot, but I've always done what Sam showed in his video on the baby: Tamp, drop in disp screen, pour hot water, pour it out, pour in fresh hot water and go. For darker blends, I just pour off the boil and go. When I want to hit a specific (hotter) temp, I preheat as above.
Paul can straighten it out, but I'm really hoping many of the physical characteristics of the predecessor shine through!

Oops I misattributed the Robot's inspiration; I meant the Gaggia Gilda.Marshall wrote:For those who've never seen the Faemina, this is a great David Lance Goines poster:

I really was THAT close to buying a Flair Espresso Maker, but seeing this now.. I hope it might well be worth the wait.
How long would the clean-up process be until the Robot is ready for another cup? The Flair has an optional 2nd brew head for this.

Congrats, Paul. I know this has been a long time in the making!

I'm guessing for home use, having a kettle that would maintain temperature for several minutes would help facilitate multiple shots more expeditiously?
In Sam's video, pouring the "warming' hot water then dumping doesn't disturb the puck? Makes me wonder a tamp is necessary, or would make a lot of difference. Paul, what say you, sir. beautifully done, BTW!

I am expecting an updated sample from the tooling next week. As soon as that is all ok then we will have firm details for everyone.

Just bumping due to my ongoing interest. Any further news with regard to when we might preorder/Kickstart this, Paul?
