I’ve really been enjoying my xBloom Studio so far. The workflow is smooth, and I love how consistent the brews come out—every cup feels repeatable and reliable. I especially like that I can fine-tune recipes online or directly through the app, which adds a lot of flexibility.

That said, I do wish the water temperature ran hotter, since it feels a bit lukewarm compared to what I expected. Hopefully I can perform some tests and determine if this is a defect. Also, about half of the xBloom pods in my starter package had opened and spilled in the bag, though the others were fine and brewed decently.

Overall, I’m satisfied with the machine and think it’s a solid product—it just has a few areas that could be improved to really shine.

To start, I love a good cup of coffee and have cut back to 2 cups per day and have been tired of the half rate K-Cup technology. Along with the so-so taste, the microplastic concerns is what drove me into looking for a new way to brew coffee. I researched many products over the past few months,mostly wanting a pour over and fresh bean option, which XBloom had. I just received my machine 5 days ago and it is a game changer. I also bought the Tea Omni brewer accessory for my wife, which is genius. So far I love the coffee and the many options this machine can provide. Many people I saw online complained about the size of the water tank, to me that just means its always fresh water. The XBloom is limitless in the varieties of coffee and ways to brew, I have already started tinkering with recipes. Please make accessories as the 3d printed ones people sell are not great, and The Box you sell needs a place to hold all of the NFC cards not just 1.
