The Stone Espresso Machine: New Mid Tier from Rocket Espresso @LanceHedrick

Uploaded August 2024 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

In this video, I deep dive review the new Stone Espresso Machine from Rocket Espresso.

Couple of things to note about this review of the new Stone Espresso Machine.
1) The object I reference as the thermosyphon is called that by the company, themselves. Please refer to the following video around the 10:16 mark to understand my usage in this video by @TheEspressoTV :

2) @tatemazer pointed out, rightfully so, that one could change the group temp by the potentiometer at the board, but it is difficult to track the changes as there are no markings.
