A Punch In The Nutz
In the following piece that I wrote on You Tube for a for a WLL Syncronika review vid, I dropped in a sentence that is the veritable punch in the nuts. Can anyone spot it and more over what it eludes to? I very consciously put words, sentences and phrases into my missives that work on a subconscious level. It is no accident, I know how and why they are effective emotional influences to get my point across. I am in a sense speaking to your subconscious mind rather than the conscious mind when I communicate.
Lets see how gud U Boyz really are?
Let me start this off by saying that the first and only espresso machine that I have ever bought was a Salvatore Semi that I purchased through WLL 18 years ago. Couple that with the Mazzer Mini, back in the day what I bought was about as good as it got in the prosumer category. Today while it is still no slouch, the high end category has evolved where machines are offering more nuances to finesse your beverage.
The first thing in my mind that I would be looking at when considering a high end machine is BUILD QUALITY and it's effect on the longevity of the machine without issue. When you are plunking down high end machine money you want durable and NOT DISPOSABLE. Then ease of maintenance would be factored in as well as USABLE features.. The first reason I am drawn to the Syncronika is the powder coated steel frame, that right there tells ya that the machine is durable. Meant to last. What made the Rolls Royce reputation was you didn't replace parts you rebuilt them.
What appeals to me about the Syncornika is the endless variety of settings that can bring out the nuances of the beverage it makes. You can tweek it anyway that your heart desires. First and foremost is the Flow Control valve..Most of the other settings once you get past the initial experimentation phase will be more or less permanently set. You will get it down. What the flow control does is offers you the ability to make the beverage that your heart desires to consume today.
Bottom line on all of the espresso machines is, does what it makes taste good. Is it pleasing. From my perspective I find it absurd to obsessively micro manage every shot that you make in the quest for the holy grail of the perfect shot. It does not exist as there as so many variables at play in the environment that effect outcome. Where even in a "clean room" a fly can get in to effect outcome. In that sense in the culinary .field in particular it becomes an art rather than a science. You experiences will build knowledge and a skill level. The Syncronika gives you ample room to build that skill set.
