Barista Hustle AutoComb Review | Goodbye Moonraker

Want to see more videos like this? SUBSCRIBE for specialty coffee related reviews, tutorials, small business education and more! A few months ago, I purchased not one, but TWO Weber Workshops Moonrakers in hopes that they could efficiently increase espresso extraction yield and decrease shot channeling at both of my cafes. Within two weeks, the needles were destroyed, due to what I consider to be poor design of the base. My attention immediately turned to the Barista Hustle AutoComb, a device I’ve been anticipating since its announcement at WBC 2022. Can this device fix the issues of the Moonraker while still increasing quality? Thanks for watching! Buy the AutoComb: [https://global.baristahustletools.com](https://global.baristahustletools.com/) I don’t make money on sales through the above link, but Barista Hustle did send me this device for free (though I bought a second with my own money). They had no influence or say over my opinions in this review.
