I saw yesterday that apparently MiiCoffee (same machine/different brand) is saying they’re working on a circuit board swap that would actually allow for true pre-infusion.

A reviewer recently dropped a video on YouTube that showed how the current form of “pre-infusion” just drops water for a second or two then pauses for the amount of time you set. But the new update will actually run water for the time the pre-infusion is set for.

If there was an OPV fix now I think I’d go ahead and jump on this rather than the Breville Dual Boiler. Maybe I’ll wait a while longer and just see how it plays out.

My DF64 Gen 2 arrived yesterday, but I still can’t decide on an espresso machine. Maybe I’ll try some grinds for my aeropress.

Anyone in the Baton Rouge area finding fresh roasted beans locally?

I can imagine they wouldn’t come out with an OPV fix. Also, that little flow adjustment someone will figure out how to mod as well.

Check out the Turin Capriccio. Though I think dual boiler is worth it if you’re willing to spend extra.

I’m looking hard at the Gen 2. I have a baraza encore esp and it’s started to annoy me. It is the bottom of the market.

As for beans, I get mine from a dude who sets up shop at the Lafayette farmers market on Saturday mornings. Father’s Coffee. Dude has an espresso blend that is fantastic. I’m getting a pound in the morning as we go through a pound a week. If the rain doesn’t wash it all out.
