The M1 Lite looks and feels great, but I’m having major connection issues. After about 45–60 minutes (three roasts), it completely disconnects. The only fix is to unplug the cable and swap USB ports until Artisan recognizes it again. It works well at first, but not for long. I'm not impressed.
I bought both the Lita and the Milo. I had some concerns about grind retention after watching a few online reviews, but after using the Milo, I haven’t experienced any issues with this.
I really love being able to adjust the burr gap predictably and reliably digitally. It makes dialing in my beans much easier, and once I get a particular bean dialed in, I can save a profile for it and quickly return to those settings later.
Great build quality and just the right amount of adjustability for pressure/flow profiling. I like being able to bind a basic profile to the grouphead button so others in my house can use it without needing to know anything about the advanced menus.
The grinder clogs despite precautions mentions. It took 2-3 months to get it as well. The grind and adjustment seem to be good when not obstructed.
Excellent shipping and the product was just as described. It took my espresso to the next level!
