The xBloom Studio is perfect for pour-over nerds and coffee snobs — but comes with a price tag outrageous enough to make even Fellow and Acaia gearheads wince
On Episode 25 of the Coffee Lab, I'm unboxing and getting stuck in with the XBloom Studio automatic pour-over.
The xBloom Studio coffee machine, priced at $599, is a maximalist pour-over, scale, and grinder in one. It boasts app compatibility, allowing users to customize their drink down to the milliliter. The machine combines the features of a grinder, scale, and automated pour-over, all in one unit. While it may seem like a bargain compared to purchasing each component separately, such as a grinder and scale, the xBloom Studio still costs $211 more than the Ratio Four ($279).
The xBloom Studio is truly for serious coffee lovers who appreciate granular control over their brewing process. However, it may be too expensive for beginners or those on a tighter budget. The machine also has an app, which allows for further customization of the NFC card, brew volume, temperature, flow rate, and even brewing direction.
