I am very impressed by both the speed of my delivery (I'm local, and received my machine about 2 hours after submitting it). The machine itself has been a nice upgrade to the Breville infuser I was using previously, and seems well built and capable. It's very nice having the OPV adjustment, and having grouphead heating without having to run blank shots has been quite nice. I'm looking forward to playing around with temperature on the PID for lighter roasts
Solid Build Quality. Looks great, gives off a German seriousness, the boxy appearance is not a negative. Perfect size for a home setup. Thought about the 83V but the footprint turned me off. The CF64V/Rocio Manus combo outperforms the Linea/Mazzer Major I used to work professionally with
Machine’s fit and finish is great. Brews a very nice espresso with useful flow and pressure controls at your fingertips. Steaming is plenty adequate about 35 seconds and I have great texture for a flat white. Would recommend, at this price point, to anyone wanting a good and capable machine. Only drawback, and reason for a star deduction, is the small and janky drip tray and cover.
