No intimidation felt here nor crusade in progress
Just old enough to know what goes where & why & if
I like something or not.

Also my previous post is just my opinion on workmanship & what I expect for near $3000 USD

As I said many times in my post it is obvious it makes good espresso
I am Happy your happy with your purchase

Just not for me thanks

I build point to point hand wired vacuum tube amplifiers as well as various other things. I take a lot of care in routing
etc for many reasons.
I totally understand where your coming from by saying behind the M58 harness lay simple components etc

But what I see when I look at something like the wiring harness on this M58 machine is a company that did not give a %#$
about it period. Yes it is not critical...maybe.... if wires do not lay on something hot & melt etc.

Yes they chose to lay their electrical relays etc on the floor that could flood etc. rather than mounting them on a vertical
splash protected sheet like some others...but yes this is a nice machine & at the end of the day it brews good espresso period.
But IMO it reflects badly on the company especially as this is being advertised as an upgraded brand X machine etc.

But sloppy workmanship should not be sloughed off onto the buyer by claiming if the buyer is intimidated
by sloppy work then send it to someone to fix etc.

Same as discounting Profitec's clean routing as a "reduction of visual impact" .....
It is in fact quality workmanship & this reflects on a company favorably IMO

Again just my personal feelings & I see this machine obviously runs well. It was something I was considering ...
until I saw the under the hood pictures & for the reasons stated above am not considering it now.

Interesting, with thousands of V2B and M58 being sold over the years there hasn't been one reported issue with the "rats" nest wiring you are discrediting. Maybe the Alex D3 with it's melting PID issues, or Rocket R58 V2 with its dead on arrival or horrific steam performance and antiquated parts, or the Pro 700 with its schizophrenic PID overshoot issues will serve you better. I was under the assumption that this was the Lucca M58 REVIEW AND OWNERS thread

Yahoo!! Can't wait for everyone to post pics/vids/etc when they arrive. I missed out on the pre-order special, but still have my eye on the M58!

Got my tracking number as well... I don't think I've ever been this patient waiting for something before. Looking forward to posting pics soon!

Great news everyone....still waiting on my tracking!! I'm guessing the back log on the bench tests are causing delays.

Make sure you guys post pics here and spam the home barista pic thread too!!!

There is a small amount of preinfusion built in to the E61 group by design. I don't currently bother with manually preinfusing. I just engage the pump and go. Perhaps with a different grinder I might be more inclined to play with that

Yes, works on my plumbed Pro 700.
