This is my first espresso machine. It came promptly as ordered, and it looks great. So far I am having some issues with how long it takes to produce the espresso, and I understand that the grind size, amount of grind, and how tightly it is tamped can affect how the machine performs. I have tried various combinations of grind size, amount, etc., and I find the machine takes 5 minutes to produce a shot, and that the espresso comes out in drops, not as a stream. This may be due to my inexperience in using the machine, but until I get feedback from Majesty coffee, I can only rate the machine 3 stars.
If you've ever owned a product from the 1970s or older, you know what it means to own something that is solidly built. The Super Jolly V Up is SOLID. It performs, and has my faith that it will continue to perform for the next decade. Its nice to look at, and instills trust that my business is covered when it comes to a solidly built, grinder that won't fail. Plus, with a name like Super Jolly.... how can you not want this grinder!
Does what it's supposed to do. Pain to use, constantly listening for a beep upon which the roaster turns off unless you hit the timer button.
Working great very easy to setup. Set up in a small office people really like it
Incredible machine. Consistent, sleek, beautiful, well built espresso machine.
Delivered with care and works great. Very happy with this purchase.
Easy for consistency
Once I had the crane lift it into place things went smoothly. Caution: this grinder is very heavy. Other than that - it's pretty much perfect. No clumps, no mess, no hands. Weight is determined by grinding time; single, double, and manual settings. Build quality is next level. Powerful, quiet, fast, and heavy.
This grinder does a great job for my decaf espresso beans! Thanks Baratza!
I went from a Breville Barista Express to this dual boiler beauty and couldn't be happier with this purchase. Cost a pretty penny, but every espresso made makes me reassured about my purchase. Shipping took a few days longer than normal, but assumed that was due to the open box.
Steams milk incredibly quick, and my lattes taste even better! Hope this is my last espresso machine purchase since I don't think my wallet can take another hit like this.
The grinder has all the desirable features for all types of coffee beverages. The price is good and worth paying for this high quality product
I've had my Quick Mill Silvano machine for 3 years now. I purchased it after 2 Breville consumer machines crapped out after 2 years... one stopped making steam, the other leaked. And neither made great tasting coffee or substantial crema. So I took the plunge and purchased this machine and I'm so happy I did. What I love about it: the PID display of boiler temp and brew time. The simplicity of the controls. The fact that I can froth at the same time as pulling shots. The quality of the parts and longevity of the machine. The ease of cleaning. Finally, and most importantly, the great taste of the espresso I get every morning from the Silvano.
This machine has been a joy to own and use. Majesty Coffee was great to work with and I would definitely continue to buy from them.
Yes, $3,000 is a lot of money. However, when you decide to enter this high level espresso machine category (DB, PID, flow control, excellent steam power, etc.), you will quickly find that the Lelit Bianca V3 is a bargain.
Moving up from a Gaggia Classic, I was concerned that I was over-buying and paying for a lot of features I would never use. Wrong! Initially, I left everything at factory settings and did not touch the flow control. A few weeks and tons of perfect shots later, I'm experimenting with shot profiles, Turbo shots... you name it.
I'm getting great shots and only wish I had saved the money from the earlier machines and gone straight to the Bianca. It's that good.
Downsides: None that I can see.
You will love this machine.
A bit complicated but otherwise Very good machine. Tony was very helpful wirh instructions and helping me get started
Can not get it to grind at the finest setting, it starts and stops never finishing your programmed grind settings! Anything above this setting the grinder works fine. I have been using my sette 270 wi since November 2016.
Hi Allan,
Sounds like the grinder has been working well for almost 8 years now. Sorry you're disappointed, it sounds like it may need to be deep cleaned. If that doesn't work, you can contact support@baratza.com with your serial # I'm sure they can advise on if there's anything that can be done or if it's time for a new grinder.

I have been loving my new espresso machine! It is taking some time to dial in, but it has been a fun process.
My experience with Majesty Coffee was highly personalized. I had 8-9 emails with them about different color combinations, changing my mind as we went. They were service oriented every step of the way. They were out of the Elizabeth, so they offered a Bianca v3 which has ended years of frustration trying to get excellent shots and silky milk. It is spoiling me to a degree that I won’t be able to get coffee from a cafe without thinking that I could do so much better at home.
