It does, yes Justin... Not a bad machine, and auto self flushes with cold water to control temp etc. Steam wand is excellent.Quote:

So here's the answer to the question I thought I already new the answer to before I bought the Rocket Fausto.
Does it grind coffee any better than the Ascaso i-mini?
The answer, as I expected, is no, not really. So if you have a decent burr grinder, it is probably job done.
Sure the Rocket is way better built, looks a lot nicer, has better grind control, can hold more beans, is targeted at the commercial market so can handle large throughput with little effort with timed grinding etc. But does it make better coffee? Marginal, I reckon, at best.
interesting.... if your only grinding a little then i guess its not going to give hugely different results then. might be regularly more accurate thoQuote:

It is better at consistent dosing i.e. I can get almost exactly 18g in the portafilter in one timed grind. But that really isn't that critical +/- 10% is alright I reckon for my purposes.Quote:

never weigh mine. i know how much i want in it and its now timed.. think its about 14/15 secs grind time. comes out slightly warm compared to the manual one but not excessively.
14.6 secs into a non pressurised double portafilter. a 27 sec pour usually
8.9 seconds for the 18g, so quite quick and quiet too.
Shots around 30-40 secs. Some times 50. Too long many would say. Super fine mousetail style. I tend to go slower rather than quicker. Seem to get a better result that way.
I pre-soak for a minute or two quite a bit of the time.
