I am very pleased with this grinder. The color screen is very clear and the controls are easy to use. The quality is obvious and the dial to control grinding the beans allows you to make very small adjustments to get the perfect grind. This is a well-made and well-designed grinder.

I had this machine in Europe and loved it. It’s high quality, pulls a professional shot, and looks good doing it. This time I got black with wooden knobs and it’s very sharp looking. I like to put a paper filter over my puck when pulling a shot to prevent grounds from washing up into the group at the end, and it’s helped it stay much more clean. Tank is a good size. Top rack heats cups well. Steam wand is powerful and can texture milk very well - I don’t use alternative milks - cow milk is what I have done every day. I can make a good number of drinks (6-8) when I have a group of friends over with out lag time or having to pause and wait for the water to heat.

My girls like the hot water for tea, when they use it, it will pull most of the water from the tank and the temp light will start flashing- then I have to wait.

Thank you for your kind and quick service.

I like coffee, like I suppose anyone browsing here will attest. I’ve roasted my own beans for more than 25 years now and have brewed in everything from simple pour over, vacuum pots (still my favorite but the glass doesn’t last when you’re clumsy), French press, cold brew, and espresso. Unfortunately I chose to go into pure (research) science so I’m not blessed with a big paycheck, so I only purchase on the low end, price wise. Comiso had the model I wanted (Lelit Victoria) in stock and shipped quickly. Definitely will keep me coming back, especially if I win the lottery or my aunt chicklegroover leaves me a fortune! Highly recommended vendor.

I’m coming from a 25+ year old Silvia that served me well until the boiler connection fried. Boiler plus updated bits were pushing $400, which is only slightly less than I paid in 1999, so I decided to take the plunge with the Victoria. The prices for the updated Silvia are outrageous for the lack of PID and adjustability, I should note. The wife used to joke about Silvia being my mistress, and now I’ve upgraded to a Victoria! The Victoria’s feature set makes it a bargain in my opinion, PID, adjustable temps, and solid build. Inside I wish it had braided power lines, given how long I plan on using it (‘til I croak or win the lottery). The portafilter is solid, although the cheapo tamper is an insult. I have a well worn Vivace Ergo that works fine, however. I did upgrade to a VST 18g basket, since I don’t care for tapering baskets. The included IMS baskets are good, although I have never used a single basket and don’t see the need for one. The science and pseudoscience for espresso is mind bogglingnow, especially with YouTube. Regardless, the Victoria was easy to set up, although I would have loved a simple cheat sheet spelling out in english what the icons mean. They are intuitive after a point. I’m just set in my ways, needing to having things spelled (IKEA instructions are the worst). I expected there would be a sample of cleaning product and water test strip(s) based on earlier reviews, but not a biggie, especially since I have plenty of cleaning powder. The test strip would have been nice, however. I can access my municipal values. At least the softener filter was still included, and easy to install (with written instructions!). The manual is impressive, save for my nitpicking on the icons, with a nice fold out section for setting it up. As for espresso, it tastes the same as my old Silvia. I home roast, which is what led me to the Silvia when I moved away from big city good Italian (American) espresso (and pignoli cookies…). Still working on my technique since I wimped out to Nespresso for a few years and forgot a few things, roasting and brewing wise. Anyway, the preinfusion and built in timer are things I’m really loving with the Victoria. It heats up quickly, and not having to futz with Silvia’s on and off brewing cycles to get to a mystery temp is so, so nice. I don’t drink milk, so I seldom use the steam save for the wife’s rare espresso request (she likes cold brewed vanilla flavored stuff I’d rather not gag on), but it does heat up quickly. Having the display and (intuitive, I admit) icons helps. The pump does kick on every so often when steaming milk, but u have read it is normal. The tank is the only real pain to the Victoria. Wish it was taller and did not have electrical under the metal baffle under the tank. It is cumbersome to remove. I know other reviewers have said they use a funnel but I’m not quite sold on the safety of that, see above. It is big enough to only need filling twice a week with 1-2 shots per day. The tank has a float sensor, although I have yet to run it down that low, an icon I’ll probably be muttering about. I have yet to run a clean cycle on it, but it looks to be a relatively simple and somewhat automated process, definitely a step up from Silvia. In all, I’m loving Victoria, nod to my wife and all!

Just what the review title says.

So happy about buying from Comiso. The price was unbeatable for my Breville Espresso machine and it was delivered in 4 days. Nick provided great customer service and is a good dude. Thanks Comiso!!

Purchased Red Mignon Zero 9/5. The ordering was very easy, the grinder arrived in less than a week. This was a pleasure to buy from Comiso.
I just love the grinder. It is well built and operates smoothly without any significant noise. It is very easy to use. After I dialed the grind it stays very consistent. There is very small amount of coffee retained in the machine thanks to the blower. The adjustment for the grind is continuous and very fine. A couple of things I would improve: the markings on adjustment knob are hard to read, and the holder for the supplied dosing cup is just too flimsy. But these are nitpicks really, I could live with what I got.

It’s everything I ever wanted!

Excellent selection and great service for serious coffee connoisseurs.

Showed up and worked accordingly

I purchased a VBM about ten years ago. And original domo bar! We used that thing almost daily. Our water supply was well water so as you may imagine, it had plenty of minerals and was hard which required some flushing with vinegar on occasion. We never had one problem with that machine. It produced 1,000s of shots of espresso. Last week the on and off switch malfunctioned which would have required extensive repairs and considering the age and wear, decided to move on. I’m a stickler for common sense quality and that machine has served us well. Nothing but high praise for that product. It was one hell of a tank of a machine!

Simplicity and beauty at its best. Quiet and easy to use. My only complaint is no easy timer reset if you stop it mid grind, otherwise simply amazing. I am selling my other high $ grinder and replacing it with this one. Don't hesitate to purchase. Well done LP!

Great customer service and easy order tracking. The machine itself is an absolute joy to work with. It's been a learning process as I was previously using a Breville Bambino, but the process has been super fun.

Excellent machine, we love everything about it.
