Cafelat - Robot Series

I’ve got a pretty dialed-in setup at home, but for the office I use the Turin Legato V2 + DF64 Gen 2 and honestly, it gets close enough for comfort. Not the most common combo, but one I really like—capable, consistent, and underrated. If you’re exploring other setups, Gaggia Classic Pro + DF64 gives you a lot of control and upgradability. For manual, the Cafelat Robot + DF54 or Sculptor 064S is fun and super capable. And don’t overlook the used market—can sometimes snag a Silvia or Profitec GO within budget.

I use my stainless steel French press for my daily coffee. Recently I got myself a Cafelat robot and a Nespresso Virtuo POP for my teenage girls. The robot makes mind blowing espresso compared to the Nespresso’s pseudo cup, and the maintenance is supremely simple. Get the Cafelat robot you won’t regret it.

First of all you watched the wrong people on yt. It's coffee influencers. On yt money talks. All the reviews of machines it's not real user experience, they have the machine for 1 week, play a bit pull 2 shots and think they know all a about it. I suggest get a manual lever machine. A cremina, a Pavoni or a cafelat robot with a top of the line grinder. All this heat up under 10 min, the Cafelat is ready as fast as the water boils. Also a manual grinder like a kinu m47 it's awesome, small compact setup. I use a manual setup and the quality it produces can't be found in a coffee shop. I hope you consider. https://preview.redd.it/ve845w6lhzhg1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9759480de7adc0ba19d3618b28f96acfb8a2fc6b

Cafelat Robot. a one time investment. Best espresso you can get. No maintenance. Use whatever water you want...

I do both, nearly every day. I got a Cafelat Robot, with a Timemore 078s grinder, produces some amazing espresso, workflow is ridiculously simple, and doesn't occupy much counter space. It is fascinating to take the same coffee bean, enjoy a nice aeropress coffee, then experience the same bean as an espresso with the Robot. No machines to clean, a very hands-on manual process.

The Cafelat would be my pick too. Very simple to use, capable of making very high quality espresso and it’s affordable so you can put more money into a decent grinder.

I have a robot and an argos and I really like them both, but back to back shots isn’t great for either of them. The Argos is ok if you want two drinks at a time, but anything more and it’s pretty bad

I purchased the 9Bar before buying a Robot a few months later 🙋‍♂️ I don’t regret the 9Bar. It’s what got me interested in making espresso and is a really cool piece of engineering but it’s not as capable as the Robot. Choosing your output ratio on the 9Bar is an estimate since you have to go by the height of liquid in portafilter cup. There’s only one temperature and one pressure profile. Plus it doesn’t handle light roasts as well. If you have any interest in playing around with variables, I say go for the Robot.

Great hobbyist option. After 2 years of using it I am thinking about getting something faster for the times when I just want my coffee and continue with my day.

Yes. Coming from a lever lover. The robot is fantastic, as is the flair pro, also love la pavoni in case I have someone else who wants milk.
