Meraki Espresso Machine

1 week in, I am IN LOVE with this thing.

I have had my eye on this since the kick-starter. I couldn't really justify it as my starter Breville Infusor was still decent. As time went on I was outgrowing the Breville. Steam was pretty terrible (lots of water), getting it to pull perfect shots was becoming annoying (Tamp pressure vs a different in .1 grams of extra or less coffee was a total guessing game), and in general was just ready for the next step. There was really no other upgrade that I wanted in this price range. I looked at the new Fellow ES1, but compared with the Meraki in almost every way I didn't like it as much. I also don't like the way it looks aesthetically. I watched a bunch of review and tip videos for the Meraki so I was pretty much ready to rock when I got it. It only took me 4-5 pours before I had my bean of choice dialed in to a perfect 30 second, 36 gram shot. So freaking easy compared to my outdated starter Breville! Coffee tastes so much better from the Meraki and the foam is such an unbelievable upgrade. I had to make 12-14 ounce Lattes with the Breville because the coffee tasted so bitter/burnt and add a lot more chocolate syrup than I want to admit. With the Meraki, I am now a Cortado man! 4.5 ounces of coffee and a LOT less milk and I am so happy. Grinder is great and very little static so I don't have grounds EVERYWHERE now, the machine is exceptionally simple to dial in and use, and it sounds and looks great on top of it all. Worth every freaking penny. THANK YOU Meraki!!!!

Love this machine

Have had the Meraki machine for a week now and look forward to using it each time. The espresso coffee it makes is outstanding. Still new to me but loving it so far.

Long awaited coffee machine

Been looking at meraki for months and finally got one. Absolute pleasure having my coffee morning routine before going to work. The machine awake itself and I am able to prepare a cappuccino shop grade in 3mins. Game changer. Everything is seamless and you feel a Baristo pro rapidly. Well done guys!
