OutIn products
OutIn products - the good and the bad... I have been looking at getting a decent coffee set up for home, and after much deliberation, I recently bought the OutIn Mino coffee machine and the OutIn Fino coffee grinder. Both arrived punctually - so far so good. But that us when the issues started. The Mino basket did not make it past brewing the 3rd shot of espresso before it jammed in place so tightly that it was completely immovable. Even clamping it to my workbench in my shed to wrench it off failed. An email and video to customer services later, my new Mino arrived, and the same thing happened. New email, new video, and I have now elected to go for the Nano 2, their latest machine, as I have given up on the Mino. The basket on the Nano 2 has jammed on the machine every single time that I have made espresso, with the only saving grace being that I have been able to get the basket off after leaving the whole machine in the freezer for an hour each time. Using the Fino grinder has not been without issues either. While grinding up only my 2nd bag of beans, there was a shearing sound from the grinder, together with a loud bang, and a high pitched metallic scream from then on... Cue yet another email and video to customer services, and yet another grinder has appeared. No issues with the second one so far, but I'm not holding my breath. So, the product looks amazing, but seems to have some serious design flaws, which is a massive shame, as I am desperate to like it more than I do. I reckon I have had 1 decent espresso in a month of owning 5 different OutIn items. The one thing I would say is that the customer service gets a bad rap from some on TrustPilot, but I have found them to be nothing but a delight to deal with, and highly efficient in replacing defective products. If only their kit matched up to their high standards.
