“I have owned this machine for about 4 months now. I use it actively, 4-10 shots per day and it just delivers, consistently. It is paired with a Profitek T64 grinder, also from JetBlack.
(+) The build quality and attention to detail is stunning. Every moving part fits precisely and there is a real feel of quality.
(+) It has good steam power and the water tank is easy to reach for filling.
(+) I love the fact that I can focus on the dialling in and trialling different recipes and different beans, knowing that the results always relflect what was in the basket.
(+) Low power consumption, even when left on all day. Delivers consistently, shot after shot.
(-) I recommend spending a few dollars on a good tamper to replace the surprisingly light-weight one that comes with the machine.
(-) The pump is a little noisier than I expected, but typical for vibe pumps, I suppose.
I highly recommend this machine for anyone looking for a small single boiler of the highest quality. Great value for every dollar.”
“Extremely happy with this Expresso Machine, quality of craftsmanship and finishing on this machine is beyond my expectations, Very easy to make excellent expresso once you dial in the dosage.”
“Once I dialed in my grind this machine delivers awesome espresso time after time. The PID is an excellent feature for improved understanding of your machine performance leading to consistently brilliant espresso. The machine is a user friendly size taking up only a small amount of bench space thanks to the single boiler. So glad I went with the E61 group and the build quality is high end. I bound out of bed each morning now just to use it. Highly recommend the machine and equally recommend Charlie and his team to guide you through the process of finding the right machine for you. They listened to my preferences and in my opinion got the advice spot on. Thanks Charlie and Jetblack Espresso.”
“Stunning machine, highest quality and great engineering.
For the espresso lover, this machine is as compact and perfect an e61 as possible. All the best quality internals, impeccably engineered internally and fantastic finished externally. The Countdown timer on the Gicar PID to the rolled polished edges and one piece chassis all contributing to a great machine. Steams milk in seconds.
Compared to similar machines, this is the class above.”
