IKAWA Pro100x

My return arrived Thursday and I received my Pro100x yesterday. It was worth the DHL hassles. For my first roast, I used the Ikawa Espresso Roast profile and set the target DTR to 20% and watched. The software picked a 1st crack, then adjusted it and finally settled on 406F (208C) for first crack. T...

IKAWA Pro100x

Well, the nightmare continues. The DHL rep just heard back from the "Exceptions Department". They stated I must have an EIN. I've asked the rep which lie she wants me to give the federal government, that I have a sole proprietorship or that I am a household employer. I copied Ikawa Operations. This ...

IKAWA Pro100x

Hi, Matt. My Pro100 return is stuck in Cincinnati with DHL insisting on an EIN before they will let the shipment proceed to Ikawa in London. Alas, they will not accept my SSN despite me sending them a cbp.gov link explaining that I can supply an SSN. I fear that my Pro100x (which is in transit) will

La Marzocco Micra/Mini/GS3 App firmware and gateway updates

I guess I'll have to have them force the update for my GS/3. How did you go about requesting a forced update? Did you have to leave your machine on while they forced it?

La Marzocco GS3 New Firmware - Boiler Offset Issues

I would make more sense if the offset were applied when setting the boiler temp; but I'm seeing temp measurements on my Scace2 that tells me it isn't applied

New Ikawa Home Roaster - 100g capacity

Hi Dick, Given that you use your iPad exclusively, you wouldn't have the issue I'm talking about. I roast with my iPhone, but then want to enter additional information (coffee name, roasted weight, roast vision score) for each roast on my iPad. That used to work great, but now the roasts only show u...

New Ikawa Home Roaster - 100g capacity

Thanks for reporting these issues, Dick. Usability was never good in this app, and now it's much worse. In addition to what you have reported, the app is now horrible at syncing (at least for iOS). I always use my iPhone for roasting, but input data in the app on my iPad. Alas, it's nearly impossible
