Spinn 4+

My wife and I love our machine. Coffee. Expresso. Cold brew. this machine does it. Plenty of great reviews to read. Here is some things to consider though. The water reservoir is small so constant refilling it. The company is making a larger one coming in Dec 2023. The height of the cup holder limits the size of mugs we can use. This machine does require your time to maintain. Refilling beans. Empty used grind hopper. Running the Clean cycle monthly. 30+ min. But that’s is expected and you should know to expect to keep the machine clean and happy. We did have an error occur post warranty period and had to send back the machine and u must use the original packaging. The turn around time was quick and came with a 6 month warranty. When you ready to stop paying coffee shop prices, this is the way.

Took over a year to actually get the coffee maker. Finally arrived and I got it set up. Apparently the carafe comes separately so it’s one cup at a time which I guess is okay for now. Day one I run a test cup and it worked pretty well. Kind of noisy considering the price. Then I find that there doesn’t seem to be a way to set a timer so first thing in the morning when I wake up I have to get on my phone to brew a cup. That goes okay but I get up early and my wife does not so the noise level is kinda whack considering I have to run it multiple times in a row. Then my wife wants to make a cup and logs in on her account and it kicks me off. Then inexplicably after her one cup it stops grinding beans so we get 3-4 cups of just warm water (Frowny face emoji here). Me logging back in requires I go through the entire set up process again which is wildly annoying. I get everything set back up and run a cup and get water only AGAIN. I take the beans out and put back in. Finally now have a cup of coffee. So I’m total for +/- 5 cups of coffee I’ve now spent over an hour with my new Spinn. After waiting for a year + I was hoping to have my socks blown off. Alas, they don’t even need to be pulled up in the least. But I’m willing to give it a few more days.

Stable app. I worried about having two people on the same account, but unlike the other reviewers, I didn’t get kicked off when my partner logged in. Just use the name and pw to log in, not the facebook or iCloud button.

The app is easy to use and quick to learn. I wish there were explanations to what each of the coffee types were (like on the website). Seems like a fairly odd omission.

I also wish there was functionality with Siri Shortcuts. There are a couple of things built in, but they all have to do with opening the Market tab or auto ordering coffee. Seems like it should be easy to add a “make coffee” shortcut so I can automate my brew. This would solve a lot of complaints about there being no timer for scheduling and not working with Siri. It would be a workaround for sure, but if I can trigger an automation with voice control or a time trigger (one that’s not Alexa, that “skill” is halfbaked and awful), it would get me to the same place and be just as good.
