One address, four subjects. We answer technical questions directly, including the ones that end with us recommending a different machine.

The specification sheet and price go to this list before they are published anywhere else. One email when it exists; nothing else.

What to include in a technical question

We can answer almost any brewing question in one reply if you include:

  • The machine and basket you are using
  • Dose in grams and grind setting
  • Shot time and yield in grams
  • Water temperature if you measured it
  • What the shot tasted like — sour, bitter, thin, harsh, or both sour and bitter

Nine out of ten portable espresso problems are grind or temperature, and those four numbers identify which one in a single message.

Questions

Frequently asked

How long does a reply take?
Two working days for most enquiries. Technical questions that need an engineer take longer, and we would rather answer late and correctly than fast and vaguely.
Can I get a review unit?
When units exist, yes — for outlets that publish methodology alongside conclusions. We do not pay for reviews, and we do not require copy approval. If a reviewer says the temperature stability is poor, that is a legitimate finding and it stays.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes, to specialty coffee retailers and outdoor equipment dealers once shipping begins. Include your country, store type and expected volume, and we will reply with terms rather than a brochure.
