R58 Cinquantotto

Absolutely go for a something a bit nicer. Fellow makes great products but if you’re buying a machine that should last 15+ years you don’t want something made primarily of plastic. I’ve got an R58 and it’s a workhorse. Bianca is a great option too. Decent is the way to go if you want customization.

Rocket R58... Maybe a Porsche?

Went straight to an endgame setup. Nice. I have that same grinder, and so far I like it a lot. I have a Rocket R58, but the Profitec is a great choice, too. Congrats! Edit: I realized my Timemore is the 78s. Still, solid design.

I can't say much about cons, but both are more than capable of running in a commercial setting. Coffee Central (distributor of Lelit Bianca) said that it can run 100 cups comfortably in a day. I've run 100++ cups handling events (mobile coffee cart) with a Rocket R58. So it would be easy to do 1-4 c

Well worth the $9 paid. I say you swap out the OEM gasket for the

Alright I had to think about this for a while and I think it comes down to a series of tradeoffs and mild advantages. To be totally clear and upfront, both the R58 and the LMLM can make excellent espresso. I'm going to try to keep this short, so I'll try to just give a list of differences and why I

While this is basically true, the maraX is not a classic HX machine. It has a quite clever brew-priority PID that has a second temp-sensor in the brewing circle and thus offers good temperature control and lacks the need for cooling-flushes.Is a DB Machine like a RocketR58 better than the mara? Defe

That’s just another mechanical lever machine like the robot. Where’s the pump driven espresso machine that doesn’t use plastic? If one of your core arguments is not wanting plastic parts, then outside of the manual espresso machines, such as the robot, you will pretty much find nothing, no matter ho
