ACM Homey: Precision Shot Timer for Home Barista Consistency
The ACM Homey in matte black brings professional shot timing to your home kitchen. Weighing 23kg, this single-group espresso machine features an integrated shot timer that helps you achieve consistent extraction every time—the tool that transforms guesswork into precision and elevates your home espresso from good to exceptional.
Why Shot Timing Matters
Espresso extraction is a race against time. Extract too quickly and you get sour, under-extracted coffee. Extract too slowly and you get bitter, over-extracted shots. The sweet spot—typically 25-30 seconds for a double shot—produces balanced espresso with proper sweetness, acidity, and body.
The ACM Homey's built-in shot timer displays extraction time in real-time, allowing you to monitor each shot as it pulls. This immediate feedback helps you dial in your grind settings faster, recognize when your coffee has gone stale, and maintain consistency shot after shot. You're not relying on counting in your head or checking your phone—the timer is right there on the machine.
Matte Black Modern Design
The ACM Homey's matte black finish creates a contemporary aesthetic that suits modern Australian kitchens. Unlike glossy black that shows every fingerprint, this matte powder coat maintains its clean appearance with minimal maintenance. The monochromatic design integrates seamlessly into minimalist spaces, industrial kitchens, or anywhere you want equipment that looks professional without being ostentatious.
At 23kg, the Homey provides solid thermal stability without excessive bulk. The weight is strategically distributed to maximize heat retention in the group head and boiler, ensuring consistent brewing temperature even when pulling multiple shots back-to-back.
Learning Tool for Developing Baristas
The shot timer isn't just a convenience—it's a learning tool that accelerates your development as a home barista. When you're dialing in a new bag of coffee, the timer helps you recognize patterns. If your shots are running fast (under 20 seconds), you know to grind finer. If they're running slow (over 35 seconds), you grind coarser. This immediate feedback loop helps you understand the relationship between grind size, dose, and extraction time.
Over time, you'll develop an intuitive sense of proper extraction just by watching the timer and tasting the results. The ACM Homey trains you to recognize what good espresso looks and tastes like, building skills that transfer to any espresso machine you use.

Who Should Choose the ACM Homey

If you're frustrated by inconsistent shots, want to understand the variables that affect extraction, or simply appreciate having data to guide your brewing decisions, the shot timer provides invaluable feedback. It's ideal for those transitioning from automatic machines who want to develop real barista skills with tools that support the learning process.
This machine also appeals to detail-oriented coffee lovers who enjoy the precision aspect of espresso making. If you're the type who weighs your coffee to the tenth of a gram and tracks water temperature, the shot timer fits naturally into your methodical approach.

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not limited by a defined time. However, the Australian Consumer Law does recognise that the relevant time period can vary from product to product, depending on factors such as the nature of the product and the price. Sip N Smile adopts the same approach. As you can appreciate, the type of remedy we can offer you may also vary depending on how long it takes you to return the product to us.
Any liability of Sip N Smile or our agents in connection with goods or services supplied by us to you will, subject to any non-excludable liability for breach of conditions or warranties implied by legislation and to the maximum extent permitted by law, at the election of Sip N Smile, be limited to:

The new owner of the equipment must retain the original invoice or copy thereof to be entitled to warranty service.
Warranty service is provided only within the country of purchase- i.e Australia.

What if my item is damaged in transit?
First of all, you need to send us an email with picture within 2 hours of delivery to claim item damaged in transit. If it is beyond that period, we are not able to help with damage freight.
We do not replace/return item(s) that is damaged by freight as it out of our hands. But we are more than happy to fix the item if you send it back to us. We will also freight it back to you for free.
What should I do if I have changed my mind and want to return a product?
Please choose carefully as we do not normally accept return of goods where you have simply changed your mind or have chosen poorly. Should we decide to accept a return, a restocking fee of 30% + any credit card charges which we cannot recover is applied to all returns of items held in stock. Special order items cannot be returned. We cannot accept returns on used equipment nor of equipment without packaging or in opened packaging. Shipping costs are not refundable and return freight to us is payable by you.
Product Assessment for warranty repair.
Once proof of purchase has been established, if the product fault can safely and clearly be determined, we will offer you either a refund, exchange or repair. The available remedy will depend on whether the fault amounts to a major failure. In some instances, we may need to consult with the manufacturer or importer to determine the fault and resolution. Most faults can be easily repaired within a reasonable time frame. We will not offer a repair or replacement if the product has been damaged via misuse or abuse. Examples include but are not limited to inadequately filtered water, lime scaling, corrosion due to high chloride ion concentrations in water, operator errors, unauthorized repair work or modification and fair wear and tear.
Whist we understand that many clients would like a loan machine in the event of a warranty item, we regret that this service is not available. We prioritise all warranty work over general repair to ensure the most rapid service possible.
Where there is no fault found, the product will be made available for collection by the customer.
When assessing product fault, it is up to you whether you would prefer to deal with Sip N Smile or the manufacturer or importer directly. It may be more convenient for you to liaise with the manufacturer or importer directly (which may be more time efficient). You certainly have that option. We are happy to provide you with their relevant contact details to assist you.
What should I do if I am having difficulties with getting my product to work?
If you are experiencing problems operating your product, we strongly recommend that you contact us
It is our experience that often when customers believe the product they have purchased is faulty; it can usually be resolved with some basic ‘troubleshooting’.
What should I do if I have if I have fixed or bulky items to return?
If your product cannot be easily returned to us please contact us and we will do our best to offer a local solution. Please note that this may not be possible in all areas of Australia.
What happens if I have purchased a product online and need to return it?
Items can be returned by mail. Please contact us to coordinate this. Items opened or used for any time will not be considered for return.
If I can’t find my receipt, can I use a bank statement as proof of purchase instead?
1 Unfortunately Sip N Smile will not accept a bank or credit card statement unless the amount shown on that statement directly corresponds to the amount at which the product in question was purchased. Where multiple items were purchased in that transaction, it limits our ability to establish proof of purchase. We cannot provide copies of receipts if lost or misplaced.
2 Please note: When a refund is granted, we will refund the original purchase price via the previous method of payment indicated on the receipt.
