Wow, I didn't know you're a pilot! Do you have a youtube channel? And yeah I'm thinking a Go Pro is what I need...

[Irinikus]

They’re good little cameras but just don’t expect stunning performance under low light conditions.

As for the pilot thing, we’ve spoken in the past, where you asked me whether I’d been flying lately and you stated that the military C130’s were still flying from the airfield near your home, during the lockdown associated with the pandemic.

My YouTube channel shares the same alias I have here.

Ha ha you're right, I do know you're a pilot. Must remember to engage brain prior to beginning to type...

That's a fancy looking machine!

That's a fancy looking machine!

It does a pretty good job, allowing full control of the individual temperatures of both the steam and water boilers as well as that of the group head itself.

Thus providing incredibly stable temperature and pressure, which is critical for pulling good shots of coffee!

It possesses the following technologies: (This is an excerpt from their site)

T3 technology

In a professional coffee machine, temperature plays an extremely important role, as it strongly influences the quality of the espresso. A stable temperature provides an excellent and repeatable result. Achieving this has become one of the largest challenges in the espresso industry. Through research, studies and in-depth experimentation we managed to find a solution that provides control of every single parameter.
Thus was born T3 Technology. T3 Technology means the Barista can set the delivery temperature of each group though three different temperature parameters: water in fusion, steam, and delivery group. The machine does the rest: digital pressure and temperature sensors instantaneously send information to the controller, which through three independent PIDs actively manages each variable.

HEES Technology

We developed a new extraction system, the High Efficiency Extraction System (HEES). HEES enhances the aroma of each coffee blend in the cup because it transfers all the splendid and creamy substances right through the new extraction system. The repeatability of results and persistence of the crema are the main advantages of this technology that corrects tamping errors arising from an inexperienced hand, ensuring a perfect espresso.
All the espresso machine’s information displayed on a LED screen.
The Theresia “talks” to the barista and shares all the information provided by the T3 systems. The TFT display gives the user all data in real time to help deliver the best espresso possible.
Control
PID (Proportional Integral Derivative)

PID technology allows the barista to monitor and manipulate the temperatures via the LCD display with only a few clicks to a very precise degree. Giving the barista even more control of the brewing process.

SIS (Soft Infusion System)

SIS guarantees soft and creamy espresso extractions every time. It does this by monitoring pressure in the system and gradually increases this pressure as the extraction process continues. A process which is extremely important when you are looking for the best possible cup.
Smart Functions

Theresia coffee machine embodies the technology of champions in its small size. Independent regulation of the brewing group, the water boiler and steam temperature as well as adjustable dose quantity and pre-infusion time guarantee excellent extractions and consistency. The system limits power consumption with heating management of the components that saves energy.

I use this:

Good enough for the price, but I hope to upgrade eventually, in a year or two, looking for something more manual.

I have enough computers in my life - may my coffee remain manual. XD

Nice!

I also have this machine, which is considerably cheaper and completely manual: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MACHINE!!!



Just take a look at the quality of coffee it produces:

So...
I'm looking for something that doesn't use a rotary pump for the steamer.
This is the main thing that I miss in my current setup. Having to wait for the tuf tuf tuf tuf while the milk heats up... I get a quite thick froth, but I never get the flavour.

By the looks of the knob, it seems that your kitchen aid machine throws a fast steam. Confirm?
