How much coffee in terms of grams does each coffee use? As in how many cups roughly would you get from a kg of beans?
Obviously you see visually when you need to top up the beans, but do you actually wait until totally empty before replacing. Just thinking if you want to change bean type/brand, would you have some short period of mixed beans, if that makes sense.
You can get around 140 single shots or around 70 doubles shots from 1KG beans.

Is this a game changer of an upgrade on pods?
I'm gonna hold out and hope for a good deal on one that does the milk too and ideally more grind levels.
I'm looking for an automatic one, unfortunately this one doesn't do milk.
They sell via amazon too.
- For 2 cups of coffee about 100ml each, the drip tray is filled with about 150ml of water, and it is dripped from inside the machine, so having a cup on the outlet to capture waste doesn't help. The drip tray is relatively small, so I pretty much need to empty it after the morning coffee.
- Compare to Delonghi which has a dial to adjust the amount of coffee ground used, 3 settings are not enough. So I can't really have a light Americano direct from the machine.
- The machine is narrow, but very deep, I didn't pay enough attention to it before I order, so it caught me by surprise.
- Compared to the Moka pot route, factor in the time to empty the tray and rinse it, I don't really save that much time, and factor in the additional amount of water used, I don't save that much resource either.
- For the water hardness in London, filter, cleaning tablet and descale powder/liquid are essential, which adds additional running cost compared to Moka pot. It would have been ideal if Melitta included the trial cleaning kit in the box, but I guess it would have costed them too much?
I am still adjusting to the machine, for the price paid, I guess I should accept the shortfalls. I might end up liking it
However, I make shorter 'espresso' shots using the machine then top up with the kettle. It's considered the best way to use these machines as the extra water needed is just pushed through the coffee puck, which makes the taste more bitter and foul (increases depending on volume). This method also slows how much you have to empty the tray (I use a cup under spouts too). Might be a work flow to consider.
I've linked a James Hoffman video above in previous posts which explains in detail.
I paid a lot more for mine and really enjoy the coffee it makes. Its my daily coffee machine and at this price I am considering getting a 2nd as a spare

I was looking into Jura which can be much, much more expensive
That one? (edited)
