Customer Reviews
I have been genuinely suprised by just how good the Tuni Coffee experience has been. I use a $3k machine and grinder in my home, so that is what I am comparing to.
The Tuni Grinder and Espresso machine have been absolutely delightfully to use in my office. Their small footprint should not be underestimated. The quality of shots , the consistency of the milk. This little rig acts like the real deal at a fraction of the price.
LOVE using the familiar 58.5mm portafilter, which is beautiful and heavy by the way.
My coffee buddies think I'm a nut for loving this "budget" rig so much, but it is my #1 recommendation to anyone getting into espresso at home!
I’ve had the machine for about a month now, and way before I bought, I had been researching down the rabbit hole of everything espresso. Months of research, and together with me being a newbie at espresso, I bought this Tuni E2.
What sold me was the strong features like dual boiler, 58mm commercial sizing, pressure gauge, temperature control, and pre infusion. Aluminium boiler with stainless steel piping, and all stainless steel group head with all stainless steel porta filter, no I am not drinking any plastic. Touch screen PID with a manual mode, auto coffee mode that is programmable, heavyweight stainless steel spouted portafilter, and a couple good baskets for single or double shot espresso, ribbed tamp, and a nice milk jog for steaming. It can get insanely easy to get lost in too much fluff about how to do espresso, but I spoke with Tuni for weeks with lots of questions and they were excellent in answering every little question I had; it must have been more than 20 questions before I even bought anything.
I have made probably more than 150 shots of espresso by now for myself and my family, and I look forward to making coffee everyday now. I make hot chocolate with the steam wand, i make espresso martinis, and lots of cappuccinos too.
Its simple enough for a beginner to deal with, but once I have it 100% figured out with different bean roast levels, specialty coffee, and steaming milk technique, I can imagine this to be an awesome machine in a few years still.
No 3-way solenoid, but an OPV that works, and I only wait about 10 seconds for the pressure to come down so I can remove the portafilter. There are so so so many brands out there, but their E2 is really strong for the price, and I’m happy to say their customer service is as well, even before I spent a dime. I will report back for longevity reasons, but I have zero regrets thus far.
I am running this with a fellow opus grinder.
