Have owned the machine for a couple of weeks, extremely fast shipping and great customer service. The machine itself has huge value and features for the price. The quality of the build also feels unmatched for the price category. The workflow has a slight learning curve, but once you get it down, it produces beautiful espresso shots and the steaming capability is also very solid for its category.
Loses connectivity constantly. Can’t keep settings and I have to reset every 3-4 days. May have to buy an actual Samsung pad
Great machine, love the espresso it makes
Hace unos meses compre una maquina de espresso y me ayudaron con todo lo que necesitaba, el tiempo de respuesta es bueno y lo mas rápido posible.
Una de las mejores maquinas de espresso que e tenido a demás es silenciosa por su bomba rotativa, nunca pensé ver una compra que incluyera todo lo que necesitas, esta muy completa, lo único que no tiene es una bascula pero tiene la opción de agregar una cuando la vayas a adquirir lo cual te ahorras tiempo y búsquedas ya que te ofrecen la qué necesitas,
Es un ganar ganar

It surpassed our expectation! Everything build withquality and the computer connection works perfectly.
1. Overall build quality is amazing. As with Data and Lita, build quality is second to none. The Play is no different. Grinder is almost 20lbs. Look and feel is great and looks right at home sitting on my counter.
2. The digital burr gap is amazing! It is fast and responsive. It can change settings between espresso and filter in a few seconds. This will make dialing in coffees so easy, especially if you like switching between different roasts. You can have pre-set programmed burr gap for light, medium, and dark roasts. It will make dialing in a snap. This was the main feature that sold me on the grinder. I cannot stress enough what a game changing feature this is.
3. It's fast. 5-8 seconds for 20-30 gm dose.
4. Performance - I have been impressed with performance. The espresso quality has been great and I have had some amazing shots. The shot have been some of the best I have had. This grinder paired with a step-down basket has elevated my espresso game.
I did a side by side comparrison with my hand grinder for pour over today. I have a 1zpresso J hand grinder. This has been my daily driver for pour over. I set up the Play for 500rpm and 450um burr gap. I could not tell discernable difference. There were slightly nuanced changes but most of these made me to lean towards the Play. For reference, I was using a light roast Ethiopian from Black & White - Bekele Belachew Anaerobic natural. I was using Hario V-60.
1. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase! A huge shout out to the team at Espresso Outlet for teaming up with this amazing company. I have been waiting for this grinder for over a year when I first saw the Milo II.
I have been using the Milo Play for almost 3 weeks and am delighted with it. Over the last 25 years I have owned 3 grinders, Mazzer Mini, Baratza Vario, and most recently the DF64V. This grinder surpasses them in both form and function. It is well made of metal and plastic and feels like high quality. It took just a few minutes to get used to the electronic grind adjustment. This would be a great grinder all on it's own but when combined with the Wendogee Data S, it is even better. In stand alone mode there are several easily set profiles (presets) which will make moving between different types of coffee a breeze. Profiles control speed, grind size and time. When used with the Data S, the speed and grind size can be part of the profiles and once a profile is selected, a tap of the grind button sets up the grinder for that profile. For me this is what makes the grinder the best I have ever used. If I see during the pour that a grind adjustment needs a tweak, I edit the profile right then. It takes just a few seconds. The next next time I use that profile, the updated grind settings are ready to go. No more writing it down or trying to remember. This grinder has made keeping track of grind settings for different coffees easy. At my age, a grinder with a good memory is a real asset.
It really does make the espresso taste better. I love the workflow improvement of the grind by weight. Dialing in is very easy. Small turns of the adjustment knob keep my shot times right at 25-30 seconds. Grind is so consistent and fluffy I do jot need to WDT anymore. Huge upgrade from my CF64V.
