WBC Espresso Machine Test Results
I am excited to hear about the results of the WBC testing that went on last week in Vancouver. I hope to be able to post more info on other equipment too, but for now I have the results from one of the machines tested. (information posted with permission)
The attached info relates to Average Brew Temperature and Logged Temperature Stability. I hope to have more info as it comes to me ...

From what I have heard, out of respect to the previous sponsors the decision was taken not to reveal the new sponsor in Copenhagen. Which makes me think we will be seeing a new machine sponsor ... I imagine we will hear the results very soon!

My question is what mods did they do to the machine? I know that all but one that we sold we had issues with temp stability. I know there was an issue with the gigglers or whatever their called.
It would be interesting to take the machines (any of them) right off the assembly line and test them. No mods, no tweeks...just true head to head!

Hi Rob,
I spoke to Roberto at Nuova Distribution and he told me that the rules for the testing specify that the machines are standard. You may have had an early version with different size gigleurs?

Brady, thank you for the response.
You made a great point about the opening week needing the higher capacity. I would imagine the opening week, as a first impression, would be critical in putting a shop's best step (and product) forward to encourag…
For spectacle and build quality there is nothing to match the KVDW
I believe your conclusion is correct. If your growth and profitability curves match most cases that I'm aware of, you'll be less able to afford equipment after 1 year than you are before you open. Buy good quality equipment at the start that will me…
Agreed, it is best as a subtle hint to complement another flavor. I like pairing it with a nut flavor, caramel, or vanilla... but only in levels that do not totally overwhelm the coffee. If you have a softer apple flavor available, it is a nice comp…
Totally agreed. KvdW + LM all the way.

Is there some consensus on a preferred method for cold tea prep? I would imagine the product is different with each method, but is there a majority and minority camp? Just curious.
