To see the pressure gauge during the pull, you can turn the Robot around and lean over it.

Even if you don't use the gauge this is the way i suggest you use the robot.

It's effortless to lean into the robot and get 9bar of pressure (not that i prefer 9 bar but just using it as an example).

It's really more about technique than strength.

Hello, Paul. I am a fan of you and the Robot.
Sent a few messages to the instagram but getting no reply.
Any idea when you'll be selling the Polished Aluminium color Barista Robot again?
Thanks

All the info is available on the website. There are no images of the polished version anywhere and it has been that way for some time now.




I do not want people to think we ignore emails and messages. Far from it. My colleagues and I have worked every day since March with the odd half day Sundays off now and then. I wish we had the time to answer every message and email but we don't, especially if the answers are on the product page.

The polished aluminium is finished. Sure the demand is there but when I have to hand polish every single one it is just not feasible.

Thus the smiley face, I noticed you added the "polished".

Apologies for such a newbie question, but I'm confused about the correct brew ratio:

The online manual says" "Begin with a medium dose of around 14 g". If I understand brew ratio basics, that means adding around 2 *14 = 28gm of hot water.

However, the manual also says one should fill the basket to "around 5-8mm of space between the top of the water and the rim of the basket". When I did this for the first time, I measured far more hot water (around 95gm) so that the water was 7mm below the rim.

So, which is it, please?!
