You really can't complain at this price! Yes, it's made of plastic, but it gets the job done for grinding beans. Zeroing the grinder is a bit tricky and it's not the easiest to adjust. However, I've been using it for a month now and I'm quite satisfied overall.
It’s a wonderful machine. Looks great, grinds uniformly. Produces great flavor. Love the machine! Combined with its ability to grind by weight and it’s the total package! Would recommend to anyone.
I bought this roaster to launch my micro roastery. Its amazing, i roast some truly amazing coffee with my kaliedo. I am able to roast all night on it most night i am roasting anywhere from 10-20 batches non stop. The only issue i have had is cooling fans breaking on me i have had to replace 2 cooling fans. But given how much i roast i can not complain, its a work horse and i love it. The best part is the customer service. I will 100 precent be buying my next roaster here because of the customer service. They go above and beyond to help and solve any issues you may have. Lastly i like how easy it is work on and maintain the kalideo. The spare parts are affordable and its easy to replace parts that break. if you need a good entry roaster look no further
Full-featured espresso machine with dynamic fan speed, drum velocity, and high-precision temperature controller capable of 500g batches for under $2,000? Insane deal! It's also about the same footprint (or smaller) than my previous roaster which only did 250g batches. My only significant complaint is about the bean tray. I had to assemble that myself, and it has several pieces of metal that are secured together via these press-fit plastic tabs rather than screws and washers, and when I dump my beans, sometimes the plastic tab detaches and I have to go hunting for a tiny piece of plastic among my coffee beans, and then take the tray apart and re-assemble it.
Package arrived well protected without damage.
I had a thermoblock Breville Bambino before. After ~6yrs using it I could make good cortado but it was inconsistent.
This machine produces quality results every time. The steam is powerful. The extraction is great. Consistent, high temps. We get comments on how nice it looks.
For negatives, the included manual is sparse, especially for maintenance. I’ve found some videos online but many are in Korean so we’re still figuring that out. We drink primarily medium/dark roast. I’ve made light roast with it. It came out ok, but don’t know if I’d suggest it for that.
We were deciding among this, a Quick Mill Pop-Up, or a Profitec Go
