R58 Cinquantotto

I’m a former commercial barista and considered a LM just to reproduce the experience / rituals / feelings I had using pro machines. Entry level stuff like Breville just doesn’t feel the same. But of course there is a world of machines in between that are rewarding to use, look great, make great shot

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.

Rocket R58... Maybe a Porsche?

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?

Rocket R58 Tune (2026 release) + Mazzer Philos with i200D burrs. Proper bang for your bucks. Both built like tanks, with solid heritage, legacy & industry experience/expertise. These will last generations, could even be the end game for your grandkids.

I was considering the Profitec Go or Lelit Victoria PL91T (you can see it in my post history; I don’t even know anymore if they are only single boiler?), but my girlfriend convinced me to spend more (bless her) to get a HX and steam simultaneously. We drink mostly milk drinks, though, occasionally e

Ich hab ganz neu die H10plus daheim. und bin positiv überrsacht. ja, ist alles Plastik, ja, keine Ahnung wie lange sie hält, aber: der Kaffee ist richtig gut die Maschine ist leiser als meine alte rocket R58 und: sie kostet weniger als eine Wartung der rocket ich vermute die h10 ist nicht viel ander

I also upgraded from BBE to Rocket R-58 many years ago, and thought my next move would be LM, but few years into R-58, I don’t see the need to spend more for something bigger in size which may or may not be a better machine. Instead, I did some upgrades on my R-58 (older version). I added a shot tim
