The “nice” made the whole video for me!

I much prefer the aesthetics on the new TCA. I never really liked the holes on the original, but now I get it.

Hi Kev - Awesome video and attention to details, nice work. I did see in the part of your video that you measure how "loud" machine is when operates. That being said, I like the machine and thinking to purchase one but considering that i will have a baby soon + that i live in apartment, i am worried if this would be a good purchase! Any advice Kev would be appreciated. Cheers

Is nice to know the cold to hot time ( heating time in the morning)

​ @Coffee_Kev - Any advice on the steaming? I love the Appartmento. The only thing I'm struggling with is the faster steam cycle for the milk. It's just constantly got bubbles, and if it doesn't have any when it's steaming, when I turn it off it adds plenty. I am sure it's just more practice, but the speed of it is definitely taking some getting used to.

Hey Kev! Here in Argentina, we don’t have many options like this for home use. I was all set to go with a Mara X but just found out I can get an Appartamento TCA ... the price is almost the same here. So my only doubt now is about the difference between the PID in the Mara X and the TCA system...I get that they’re “kind of the same, ” but not really. Any advice? Need to pick one! hahaha Thanks a lot and greetings from Argentina! Great video!

1 min 56 secs - what coffee are you using Kev? 😊

I've been tempted with this. What is your opinion on their grinder? Is it better to pair with say a niche zero/duo?

Do bottomless porter filters go on forever? ❤😂

Great video! One question: I am doing 18gr, evenly tampered, finest grind (on this grinder) but still getting a watery output even though puck is not wet. What am I missing?

What grinding number did you set it too
