Meraki Gen 2 Espresso Machine

Works flawlessly as expected from reviews

Initial impression - great. Some constructive suggestions

I've only had it for 2 days so this review might be bit premature. Pros: Feels well made, easy to learn the interface on the screen, nice powerful dry steam. Really nice solid accessory kit. Cons: 2 large white rubber O-rings included with kit but no mention of what they are for in the instruction booklet. Like many coffee machines, you can only fit a low height cup under the portafilter (ie mug doesn't fit). Ideally would include a knock box in the kit, and a small cup / dish to rinse the steam and portafilter into at the end of a pour. Despite the finest grind and a firm tamp, my 18g dark roast coffee pours a 1:2 ratio too fast in 15 seconds and tastes terrible! Hopefully that will improve with practice or different coffee. I've resorted to 20g, manual pour and pouring a lungo size to improve the taste!

Great machine!

Very happy with this machine thus far. Easy to get used to and integrated scales and dual boiler make workflow seamless.
