5.0 out of 5 stars Great performing machine for the price
I've now had the MiiCoffee Apex for a couple of weeks and feel comfortable writing a review for it. Coming from a Sage Barista machine with a built in grinder, I wanted something to pair with a DF54 grinder that featured a 58mm portafilter, PID temperature control and some automated ability to time shots.I saw some reviews on YouTube about this machine and thought I'd give it a whirl. The machine itself is nice and simple, three buttons - power, manual and automatic. The automatic shot button allows you to configure the appropriate time which once dialled in is handy to have and it heats up in almost no time at all.The included accessories are fine and nice-to-have, the portafilter is quite solid and performs well, but I've since replaced it with a bottomless one to get better visibility of the shots I'm pulling.The only real downside is that the steam wand isn't a no-burn type, so you have to wipe it down very well after each use, but it works great. It's not the quickest in the world, but I'm also not the best at microfilming milk! The Apex has a single hole tip which works really well as long as you do a quick purge before steaming.The seller has also been great when I have asked a couple of questions. So far, really pleased with the machine and I think it offers great performance for the price. Only other comparable machines with similar spec are upwards of £800 (Profitec Go). Hoping to get many, many shots of espresso from this one!
1.0 out of 5 stars Leaks during backflush
The media could not be loaded. I've ordered two of these and returned both as they each leaked when performing backflush cleans.
Todo bien hasta que…
The media could not be loaded. Dejo de servir en menos de 2 semanas. Viendo otras reseñas veo que no soy el primero con este problema. Al parecer es una falla con el boiler
Use in manual mode and it's great.
Watch a couple YouTube reviews and you'll know the pre infusion doesn't work as you would hope but it shouldn't be why you wa t this machine. It seems like they wanted to pack everything into this machine because its their first espresso machine on the market but it's not even necessary as manual mode works beautifully as is.You're getting a machine with PID and shot timer built in, a 5-10 min heat up time, which is fantastic to have a machine ready by the time your bean prep is done. Run the steam wand for 10 seconds to build pressure and wet your cloth and you can pull plenty of great espresso.The next machine to have the PID/timer is double the price of this one (Profitec) or Triple (Racilio Pro).This machine has ridiculous value for what it does. You'll also have money left over for accessories. I've loved the normcore bottomless portafilter to better dial in shots. I've used mine everyday since mid December. Would buy again.This company also makes quick improvements so I imagine they'll have one with some upgrades in the next 6 months.
MiiCoffee has Improved this Machine a Lot Based on Customer Feedback
This machine had a lot of hiccups out of the gate with pre-infusion not really working on the early units, and lots of problems with the steam wand, but I think they got the kinks worked out.Make sure you can set the pre infusion time and not just the pre-infusion delay. Early firmware only let you set the delay. The factory pre-infusion was ridiculously short and did more harm than good. If you have one of these old machines, set pre-infusion delay to zero to bypass it all together.People have criticized the milk frothing on this machine. The steam pressure is not strong with the 3 hole tip that came with my unit. I was able to get some good latte art with the 3 holes but switching to a single hole tip made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in my microfoam! MiiCoffee will send you a FREE single hole steam wand tip, if you send them a message with your order number. The single hole tip makes the vortex loads stronger and is more forgiving if your wand angle isn't perfect, but I say again again, you can get ok milk foam and latte art with the stock 3 hole wand. (see photo).I upgraded the tamper and bought a bottomless portafilter with a wood handle. (see pic) This isn't required. I got great espresso with the stock basket and tamper, but if you have the extra cash, I do love the look of the wood handle upgrade over the stock plastic handle, and you will be able to grind a bit finer with a premium basket. (machining on stock basket is very good, just not as many holes as a VST or Pullman.)This machine does not come with a milk jug/pitcher for steaming, so be sure to buy one if you want to steam milk. I bought the Normcore Handleless Milk Pitcher (see photo)

I like this machine
The Apex forced me to learn grind size, pressure, flow control, and timing. I have a DF83 grinder (bought an "open box") which works really well. Mostly I have to adjust the grind size when I change coffee brands. Other than that, it pretty much works like an automatic espresso machine. I really appreciate the ability to use ESE pods. I bought a BoB portafilter basket and, with Illy or Bistot coffee, produces 12 bars of pressure (you want that pressure with ESE pods. Great espresso, too!Regarding support, I asked for and the vendor sent a one-hole tip, and it really made a difference in the steaming process. Also, I asked for and received an upgraded circuit board that "fixed" the pre-infusion issue. It was slightly difficult to install (putting some of the screws back in is a bit tricky), but watching the video and using a slightly magnetic head screwdriver did the trick! Thank you, Luke!Solid weight, although you still need two hands to keep it from moving when using the portafilter. It's still heavier than most prosumer machines I've read about or used. Support is good and quick, too!The machine just works...
