Machine à expresso, cafetière, pompe à 15 bars, lance à vapeur - LIVINGbasics®

5/5

For the price this machine is absurd. Get it! And the support is good too. Once you are comfortable using it pairing it with a good and cheap conical burr grinder will allow you to use your own beans at will, and buying a new 51 mm portafilter basket will take the training wheels off for your skill. I've been using it as our primary daily coffee maker for a year and a half. The first one I received did not successfully pump water. I sent a video of it running for 30 seconds with nothing happening and the support people sent me a new one and told me to responsibly recycle the first one. So spare parts and a working espresso maker! Attached picture is from tearing down the original to condense the space it takes up. Nothing poor in the design or parts I could see. Just thousands of tiny screws of many time many sizes - I can see why no one would want to repair it as it is not worth the effort. I, like some other reviewers, found myself reading the English manual and wondering if the French was better or worse and then flipping back-and-forth. I think the French manual was written better in that the sentences are better structured, but some of the word choice is bizarre. I recall the steam wand was translated as baguette. Better than an 80s VCR manual but obviously not much money spent on the translation. The only issue I have had was that suddenly the portafilter (coffee basket and handle) would overflow when under pressure for more than 20 seconds. The answer is there are 2 buttons and two dial positions - and the button for espresso/steam was set to steam - entirely my fault and in the manual, but after 2 months of use I forgot. Recommendations on use - brew one espresso empty at the start (warm up the machine internals), and one at the end (clean the basket and water injector). So for two espressos you brew one empty, two with coffee, one empty, and for one espresso it would be one empty, one coffee, one empty. Don't remove the water tank needlessly and just top it up with a jug of water so that you don't get leaks forming at the base or wearing out the seal. Fully wash the reservoir at least every two weeks to prevent a biofilm from occurring. A two shot 51 mm portafilter basket can be added by removing the one screw on the inside of the provided handle as it no longer needs to be pressurised, but be prepared to start learning that each coffee you use needs a different weight of beans and tamping. We have legendarily hard water and haven't needed to use descaling tablets on the boiler yet, but take that with a grain of salt as I have a spare boiler so I have lower risks of not having coffee. And Shopper+ should source a cheap conical burr grinder and optional non-presurized baskets for those weirdos like me who want a difficult to use machine for slightly better coffee and ability to play and learn.

Chaise de bureau ergonomique de luxe avec appui-tête - Moustache® - Avec repose-pieds

5/5

Short summary - a 3.5 star chair, 4.5 stars adjusted for price, 5 stars adjusted for support. Foot rest is useless/uncomfortable for me at 185 cm 100 kg/6' 220 lbs, better off using a cheap sub-woofer. Slightly longer summary - had occasion to do an actual tear-down of this chair. It is much more robust than anything else in this price range, and I actually believe the weight rating. I had the tilt mechanism break, but by shearing off the ear that attaches it to the base, which is a manufacturing defect not a design issue (unless someone is trying to save half-a-cent of steel on the casting). My chair was out-of-warranty but I was sent the replacement parts and was able to repair it myself - if you have a credit card extended warranty though I suggest buying another of the same chair through that process rather than repairing it yourself. More technical summary - bought this chair to be the occasional use home office chair, supplementing an old Leap V2 chair. I've bought a few chairs from cheap home office suppliers before and most of them have had a major break after 4 months, become uncomfortable after about a year, and dissolve in 3. Everything held up well on this chair for a year, which was a great surprise, considering the arm rests or a wheel almost always break by that point. I was expecting a wheel from the wagon-wheel design but they turned out to be very robust. After a year the tilt mechanism failed suddenly, going from high tension to no tension (impossible to sit at any angle other than High School Teenager). The ear holding the base to the back sheered off about 3 months out of warranty, so I took pictures and sent to support and they sent me a new chair base. After fully tearing down the base attempting to get the pneumatic cylinder off I deemed it impossible, contacted support and they send me a new cylinder as it could not be removed safely from the base. After that the chair came together in seconds, and is still going strong. I do not recommend that anyone attempt to disassemble the base themselves unless they are familiar with spring tension and pneumatic cylinders - there are several steps that could land you in hospital if you are a Git 'er DONE type person. The stored energy in this chair is no joke. So if you have a tilt mechanism failure get support to send the base and the cylinder, and make sure you remove the clip for the cylinder to the wheeled base of the chair rather than just pull until it comes out. For the quality of what I saw inside the chair this is a steel of a deal if you are used to cheap chairs breaking, and it is quite comfortable at this price (less than 20% of a new Leap V2).
