The xBloom Studio is the latest iteration in the xBloom coffee machine lineup, building on the original model's success with enhanced features and a more affordable price point. While still utilizing the single-use xPod system, the Studio introduces a built-in digital scale and three tactile knobs with an LED matrix display for precise control over brewing parameters like temperature, pouring patterns, and volume. Users can choose from three automation modes: Autopilot, Copilot, and FreeSolo. Autopilot Mode leverages NFC recipe cards to automatically set grind size and brew settings tailored to specific coffee beans, making it the most user-friendly option. Copilot Mode allows for more customization, enabling users to incorporate their own beans and create personalized recipes using the xBloom app. FreeSolo Mode offers complete manual control, appealing to those who enjoy the hands-on aspects of coffee preparation. The machine's 48mm steel conical burr grinder offers 80 grind size options and an adjustable speed assembly, ranging from 60 to 120 RPM. Additional features include an anti-static ionizer and the ability to be plumbed directly into a water source. Available in Midnight Black and Moonlight White, the xBloom Studio is priced at $499 and aims to deliver a versatile and satisfying coffee-brewing experience for enthusiasts.
