Gemilai Brand
We've had the ele g3028a since about February and have not had any issues, and their customer service is responsive. The only issue, I would say I ran into, I don't think is related to QC or Gemilai. But we ordered the first machine on Amazon during a sale. The machine arrived and appeared to be pre

G3028A or Legato v2 [$600]
I have a 3028A at home and a Gemilai 3007 (Legato) at work. Functionally, they are very similar, but the fit and finish of the 3028A is MUCH nicer. The 3007 feels cheap by comparison. The 3028 also comes with a much nicer tamper and bottomless portafilter. However, the bottomless portafilter cannot

The Travel Starter Setup + How do I upgrade? [$500]
Same way we started our home espresso journey after overpaying for lattes and flat whites. I still use our Nano at the office and when we travel. Once we determined (wife and I) this was something we wanted to keep doing at home, but more efficiently, I went into the deep research dive. I have adhd,

Sold my Profitec Go for a Jura as a new parent. Huge mistake. Back to basics, help me choose. [500-1500]
You might also want to look at the Gemilai Ele (G3028A). It’s around $700 (depending on sales), so it sits nicely between the Go and the more expensive prosumer machines. It has a dual heating system (brew boiler + thermoblock for steam), dual PID, and an adjustable OPV, which is a pretty compelling

Seeking Advice Beno Piccolo [1000$]
I don't know man, it looks a bit overpriced. Since you are based in Asia, have you considered Gemilai? I've heard that they are making great machines. This one looks like a steal now. https://www.gemilai.com/products/g3028a-espresso-machine

Gemilai G3028A - This is our first machine
Hey, I have an owl with the peeling teflon coating:( Does the G3028a have any coating under the shower screen. I really like gemilai and might upgrade to that one, if it doesn’t have any coatings!

My end game!
I almost pulled the trigger on the Legato V2 (same platform as the Gemilai Owl), and it’s a solid machine, but I went with the G3028A because for a small bump in price it gives me more of what actually matters day-to-day: The e61 like group head keeps temp super stable and consistent, and stronger s

Gemilai Whale G3038A - Thoughts on this new machine? [~$1,000]
Gemilai g3028a owner here. Obviously, not the one being discussed on this thread, but I can confirm that they are not lightweight materials. Not sure when they filmed the marketing ad or if it was with a pre-release version of the model, but there is already a review on the machine on youtube and it
