WHAT HOME-BARISTAS SAY ABOUT UpShot
- Robert K.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars10 hours agoUpshot
Hard to adjust to make it work properly.
- R Ryan F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoA neat thing but...
This little mirror is well made from quality materials and it works great. Depending on what type of vessel you use, you might want to be careful to avoid the mirror tipping it over. The included mounting magnet is a great, thoughtful inclusion.
- Suleyman D.Verified ReviewerRated 2 out of 5 stars1 week agoIt’s a good idea, but the execution is falling short.
This product seems appealing at first glance, but it falls short in practice. Experienced home baristas understand that even the quietest espresso machines produce vibrations. Unfortunately, this product neither holds a cup securely nor maintains a balance as advertised. If you try to use it standing upright on a tray, much like the simplest mirrors on the market, you'll find that the plastic is defective and the foot design, which is claimed to be flexible, lacks the necessary stability. Adjusting the view angle is challenging as well.
After using it just 10 to 15 times, the feet have deteriorated to the point where it is no longer usable. Overall, I would not recommend purchasing this product due to its design flaws.
- Bernhard S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoA nice addition to my coffee making
I don't have to bend over to check my coffee extraction for channeling avoiding me getting dizzy
- David B.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars4 months agoInteresting idea, flawed execution
Tips over most of my old-style porcelain demitasse but that's because they have small bases designed to fit saucers. However, this mirror should work with the more modern espresso glasses and cups the kids are so crazy about these days. Requires patient fiddling and bending to get just the right angle while still maintaining a good grip the cup's lip and not falling over. Add it to your collection of shot monitoring systems but there are better mirrors on the market.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Pretty much. From vertical walled cups to very shallow cup, even tiny espresso cups. The only time it may not work is if the cup has a tiny base, as it might try to tip the cup over.
