Man I’d love to get this semi-affordably in Europe. Such a cool product. I use a Cafelat Robot for my morning brew and it’s consistently the highlight of my day

- kreetx 2y agoThis thread is a goldmine!
- great_wubwub 2y agoFlair Espresso has a similar thing and it looks like they have European distributors. https://flairespresso.com/distributors/ https://flairespresso.com/distributors/ I have the Original and have had it since it was the only thing they made. It's picky but if you get it all dialed right it makes great espresso.
- evantbyrne 2y agoThe prices on some of the hand pumps are wild to me. I feel like if I'm going to go the hand pump route, then I shouldn't be paying the same price as a Gaggia Classic Pro.
- stephencanon 2y agoEasy fix, just price out an Olympia Mina and then the other hand pumps will seem cheap by comparison.
- tmoertel 2y agoI use a Cafelat Robot in the USA, and I agree it's great. The workflow is simple and streamlined, yet it affords a high degree of control.
- benhurmarcel 2y agoI don't really see the advantage compared to your Cafelat Robot, or a Flair.
- greenavocado 2y agoEspresso forge has even fewer moving parts, and no rotating bearing surfaces or arms that can snap. The moving part is a stainless steel rod with two EPDM o-rings on the moving surface. It will last several centuries given a supply of o-rings. The basket mating surface has a silicone gasket which lasts forever if you store the device in pieces after cleaning up the coffee grounds.
- zemvpferreira 2y agoSeems like fun, nothing more nothing less.
- p4bl0 2y agoIn addition to my AeroPress I also regularly use a ROK espresso machine, which is pretty similar to the Cafelat I believe, and I can attest it's pretty awesome. https://www.rok.coffee/ https://www.rok.coffee/
