Hi, I'm Pedro from Coffee Parts.
And today we're looking at the Cinoart PT2.
Let's get into it.
The Cinoart PT2 .
These are the latest Tampers to join the electronic Tampa kind of movement.
And they're joining up quite a few.
Tampa's out there now.
But let's look into what makes these different and where they're applicable.
Where Cinoart have come in is they've gone for that budget and off
the tampers, make it really affordable.
And I guess probably more to that low volume cafe or that home user.
And we say that because they're a little bit less functionality than the others.
A little bit slower.
But the price point really reflects this and there really are great value.
So on the Tampa side of things, you basically have three settings
they've called it 10, 20 and 30 kilos.
You could really call it A, B or C just to make it a little
bit simpler to think about.
And each tamper setting.
You can adjust the tamp pressure and a number of times it tamps.
So the pressure would go from 2 to 38 kilos, and then you
can tamp one to three times.
So you could set up the first one at call it 10 kilos, one Tam, which
is what it set up at the moment to second light, 20 kilos, two times.
And the third one at 30 kilos, three times.
If you want it to change, it's super easy.
You click on the 10 kilos or the button a, you go up or down.
So in this case, it's this go down.
So to say nine, and you hit the down button here, which is equivalent
to the set button and you set it basically flashes and you're done.
So now the first buttons one tap at nine kilos.
If you wanted the first one to tap twice, same process where you press
the 10 kilos on this call button.
"A"
You press now the up and down arrows on this side.
So call up two, two, you press the up down once again, should be called set.
and now you have nine kilos being tamped twice, and obviously, you can
do that for each of the three modes.
The good thing is you can have different settings on each
button, so you could have.
Your first button, second button, third button.
It's out differently for whatever you're trying to achieve.
It's also got a counter.
So , you can go in and look at the count of how many you've done
in button one, two or three, or ABC, whatever you want to call it.
And you can reset that counter really easily.
So it makes sense if you want it to just say at the beginning of the day,
set them off to zero and, you know, How many tests you've done in each
profile through that day, through that week, through that month, whichever
way you're looking at the data in terms of cleaning, it's also quite simple.
Do this press the optimum, calling it set that's up, down button and
the down and the tap head comes down.
However, I kind of find that a little bit difficult when it comes down, you
can clean up without a rag or your finger or something like that to get rid of
the static grounds, but it's quite tight between the portafilter and the head.
So I don't feel like it's the most practical, or maybe I'm not
looking at this in the right way.
You can also do a deep clean by taking out the head and that unscrews in a
counter-clockwise way, I would unplug the Tampa to do this, but that's just me.
It's, don't have to unplug it in saying that to do that.
You have to let's move to fork to make it a lot easier for you.
And for that, it comes with the Allen key wrench.
So you remove the fork.
Go counter-clockwise the whole mechanism comes out.
You can do other deep clean, or you can change the portafilter head
if you needed to change size or for some reason you wanted to change it
down the track to bring it back up.
Just repeat the same process again.
Hold that down button.
It goes off now.
Let's look at the actual tamping.
Okay. So we got it at nine kilos.
One time.
And if you're putting that board a filter, sorry, I got to get that cleaning mode
back up, putting that portafilter.
That's it.
Then once you prove went into the same mode three, which is timing 30 kilos
three times that's once, twice, three times a little bit slower than some of the
other tampers, the results just as good.
But a little bit sign one thing.
This doesn't have competitors.
I say the Slingshot Kilo is a 30 degree Polish at the end,
but yeah, very neat results.
A little bit.
Slow.
But for its environment for, to say a home, a low-volume cafe it's perfect.
That was what a normal Portafilter if we did have the La Marzocco
portafilter, which has that ledge there, we can just adjust the height
of the fork down, so we've done it on this other tamper here, which you can see.
And that's it one time there.
I feel like there's two tamps I pulled it out too early,
but let's just do that again.
Put it in there three times.
I'm very impatient.
I don't like waiting.
So that would drive me a little bit crazy, but for a home
environment, it would be awesome.
Looking at these main competitors are obviously your Puqpress,
which now are on the Q2 range.
And they've been like the leaders of the industry though, the pretty
much the first ones out there.
And they're the benchmark and you've got the Kilo or basically the
Slingshot Kilo competing quite hard.
They're the top end of the price point.
They're fast.
Easy to clean, come with a lot of functionality, but definitely
up there in price, pretty much almost doubled the price of these.
These Cinoart, I have really nailed the price point for what they are.
And I feel like they'll do well in the home market.
Let me know below if you want any more information on these, which
topic you prefer, what at the Cinoart at the Puq, the Kilo, or even the
compact cube, which one do you have?
And which one would you like us to do more reviews on in saying that
we have done reviews on the Puq and the Kilo, which we'll link to above
I hope you've enjoyed, knowing more about, and saying the Cinoart PT2.
