I am beyond thrilled to present the first review of a production model of the long awaited Meticulous Espresso Machine. I have been a massive fan of this since it was first announced and teased online some years ago and am now humbled to say I am a part of the team going forward. My hope with this review is to replicate what I normally do- in-depth testing and as impartial of thoughts as possible. Now, of course, there is inherent bias. I loved this machine so much I did what no other company that has tried over the years could sway me to do- join the team. So, take that into account!
But, I feel confident I presented to machine honestly, pointing out the quirks that need to be worked on and what it excels in. I hope you enjoy this review of what I think is the most innovative machine release in the past decade.
