hey mate, you reckon that info supplied might be serial numbers, and whether its 230 volt or American voltage and if its a 270W or 270... be good to know....oh and death symptoms including any odd behavior before death....ie does not grind/does not display etc etc

That is a massively strong statement to be making. Do you work for Baratza technical development or supply the motors? because that is the sort of "feel good" statement that should actually come from the manufacturer, not a 1/2 finished, provoking statement from some guy off the net, that feels a bi...

Theyre not welded on or brazed or anything sensible. If it is till a relatively snug fit, its an easy fix with not much to lose imo... Find a metal shop, 1/2 decentish garage or a mate that can make stuff out of metal. Take with you a small box of beer and ask them to put it in

Baratza are saying just use one shim. probably better to follow that line and work your way towards shimming to the extrme if one doesnt allow the range you require. My 270W has being doing a couple of odd things that ive noticed lately. Firmware related i think. First one was resorting to changing ...

i would also look at asking whether you run the Euro 230v or USA 150v models. For instance ive got a 230v and so far its running great right out of the box

ive got a la pavoni pre millennium and sette 270w. i dose 15.1-15.5 in a larger double LF basket. The original only doses 15 and a tiny bit. I prefer the deeper basket and about 15.3 grams but the OG does ok at 15.1 My sette is set to 4A, without shims. And pulls about 33 seconds and a bloody

So the feet work to keep the base of the unit 3mm above the bench. yup agreed. But what im saying is do ALL the feet contact the surface? the one near the rear plug on mine does not...so blue tack it is. The reason i think that rigidity with the W is important is that the acacia has

possibly something to do with the firmware versions for different parts of the world??? dunno, dont look that hard at what the computer says. More interested in the performance tbh. But if you know how to hack one you could easily make it show what ever you liked @ Pommes... The weight feature works...
