Wake Up and Coffee

Couple of new ones to try.

Switching from a fully automatic machine to portafilter was the best decision.

Saw the Nucleus Paragon for the first time in a coffee shop in Tokyo, not sure about it yet but nerdish as I am I think I will get one...

@Chap can you please update if you do? Would be interested to know if there was an improvement to the flavour.

@ChrisC that's a manual Espresso lever press.
ROK has been around for a decade or so, probably most similar to Cafelat Robot in looks and not unlike Flair.
purely manual, you use hot water to pre-warm the unit. a few aftermarket upgrades and you're ready to go.
grinding is manual in our house, too... -
It's a lovely bit of design - I've got an entry-level bean to cup at home and although it makes good coffee it certainly isn't going to win any design awards. I looked into getting a manual grinder back when I was using a moka pot/Aeropress, but I must admit I do like being able to wake up, jab two buttons, and have a machine pour espresso into me without lifting a finger

Right, manual grinding and pressing will cost a lot of time and patience - making 2 or 3 shots in short succession is not recommended.
On our little isle we don't have the power/amp to run a "proper" machine. not to mention the cost factor...
