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

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 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

Breville Bambino Plus

not unless you get it at dirt price cheap, the gemilai 3028a beats the bambino plus on everything. you can check the reviews of the gemilai ele (3028a) online, internals are also good. make sure to get a decent grinder as well.

I just killed my bambino plus in the dumbest way possible and would really like advice as to where to go from.

The Gemilai Ele G3028A is very solid, at almost half the price of the profitec go its does everything you need, more affordable because its a chinese brand yes but they use the same parts as any sub $1200 from anywhere, also has warranty support and great steaming capabilities. Have yet to hear some

I need advice on an upcoming upgrade possibility [1700-1800$]

I'm pretty much set on the Legato/Apex V2 now, although there is a new machine that I found that looks quite interesting, the Gemilai Ele G3028A.I could get te Apex for ~530 EUR, and the Ele for ~830, but it seems like the Ele is sort of the same as the Apex, but with some extra build quality, possi

Gemilai G3028A - This is our first machine

I think I ended up replying to you on another post with a photo after I got the shower screen off of our G3028A. I got word from Gemilai today, and they indicated that the part on the group head above the shower screen on the G3028A is cast iron and not a PTFE Teflon coating. I sent them one more em

Any espresso machine check all these boxes for under $1000?? [$1000ish]

I own the G3028A and we love it. It's been great so far and it comes with a 2 year warranty. The G3028A is only $599 right now, but it cannot brew and steam at the same time (not the US version at least). I talk this machine up a lot because we like it that much and it feels premium. We were also he

Upgrade from BBP ? [$1000]

Maybe Gemilai Ele G3028A? Seems to tick most of your boxes, though aesthetics are subjective. It also has a temp probe in the steam wand so it'll stop at your desired temp which may be useful if you do a lot of milk drinks. It's basically an upgraded apex/legato, but with the downside of being force

Looking at three machines [$500]

Turin Legato V2 / MiiCoffee Apex V2 / Gemilai 3007Z are all the same machine made by Gemiali. The Gemilai G3006A would likely be of the same quality, but I personally feel that the G3006A is a downgrade from these other machines you're looking at. I have the Gemilai Ele G3028A, and I feel the qualit
