You're not the only one that sold their GS3 for the YOU. My last machine was a Decent and I sold that for various other reasons that I won't go into and then went on the hunt for a good pressure profiling machine and narrowed it the YOU, GS3, Rocket R91 and the Synesso ES1. The YOU stood out as a clear winner having the perfect balance between price, functionality and performance from a reputable brand.

Please find the new QuickStart Website for the YOU provided by Sanremo.

On this website you will find videos, documents regarding the YOU and firmware updates (once they become available).

Watch out on this website for the final FW release 1.37/1.38 to be posted in the coming days.

Think I'll avoid all these concerns, and stick with my $15 ViaVeneza. Think I'll go make a shot right now

even if it has a modified e61, the SR61 is worlds apart from any e61 I've ever used in terms of stability and consistency.

The line in is working well from what I can tell... no movement in the tank.

To switch between internal tank or direct connection you need to change the manual valve near the tank (sounds like you already did that) and you also have to change the water source on touch screen menu. This is found under main menu->User Parameters->Water Source.

Out of curiosity - does the steaming power compare?

Does anyone with a YOU have experience with a Slayer? The YOU has my attention. The modern functionality and features are on point, and the slightly more compact footprint is very appealing. We just remodeled our kitchen and the Slayer is tough to work around. That said, we LOVE the machine and would only change for something that is equally special. What I like about the Slayer and would want to see in another machine - Pre-infusion, ability to easily dial in a coffee, consistency, ease of use (wife can pull great shots without any drama) reliability, build quality and aesthetic. The Slayer does what it does very well and It would be very hard to move on from, but its a bit of a beast and takes up a lot of room. The YOU is the first machine that has caught my interest and I will be watching this thread with great interest.

What you're describing is KvdW Speedster.

No experience with the Slayer but I have with the Decent and the You. The You can programmed to do a Slayer type shot and repeatable with the press of a button or you can use the paddle, like the Slayer and the best part of that is you can then save that shot. 22 presets of which 16 can be your own saved or programmed shots. Smaller boilers and water tank (unless plumed in) on the YOU but I've never had a problem with back to back shots when friends drop in but the benefit of that is warm up time from cold is under 10 minutes and under 3 minutes coming out of standby. Your decision might boil down to aesthetics (I think the YOU looks very classy) but from a functionality point of view the YOU has a big advantage.

Lovely machine but looks like it has a similar footprint as the Slayer.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely liking the functionality available with the YOU. Saving "last shot" is great. As for volume, I don't often pull more than a few shots at a time. I would expect a machine of this caliber to keep up with my normal use.The rare exception might be a dinner party or family gathering, in which case a little recovery time is acceptable as long as the machine is not dragging. Thanks!
