Meraki Espresso Machine

Best all in espresso machine!

Bought the Meraki gen 2 and I can’t be happier than I am with my choice! Perfect espresso shot and a beautiful machine! Highly highly recommended if you rather not go fully manual!

Killer All-In-One Upgrade

After ten years of owning a daily-use Breville Barista Express, it was definitely time for a new machine. I knew I wanted an all-in-one like the Breville, but I also wanted something that was beyond entry-level. This machine is seriously amazing. The dual-boiler gets water heated up quickly, and you can set it to turn-on at a given time, to let it warm before use. The grinder gives consistent grinds across Medium and Dark roasts (have not tried it with Light), and the group head has performed well beyond my old Breville. Steam wand is a massive improvement, and the integrated temperature sensor allows greater consistency across both milk drinks and heating water for Americanos (try steaming your water, it makes a massive difference). The integrated scales are a nice touch, as it allows for easier dial-in of espresso shots, with all information displaying on a single screen. Puck-prep accessories are weighty, and feel great in the hand. All in all, this single unit allows you to adjust quickly, get consistent results, with an intuitive workflow. Just buy the darn thing, you won't regret it!

what an upgrade!

switching from my old machine to the meraki gen 2, feels like switching from a honda to a Rolls Royce! i’m so impressed with this machine! my coffee making time dropped from 10ish mins all the way down to 1:30mins which is dramatic!
