Difficulty in adjusting brew pressure - Profitec Pro 700

Good catch! I don't know if that is what they are for but I can try. I do know that I removed the shipping bolts when I received the machine some time ago. I was able to make an adjustment to the pump and increase the pressure, but I will also see if I can better align

Difficulty in adjusting brew pressure - Profitec Pro 700

The first picture is more or less straight on. You can see how the adjustment screw is pretty much invisible. The second image shows that I can catch a glimpse of it from an extreme angle, but it makes getting the screwdriver in difficult and the ability to see what I am doing impossible. I have to

Difficulty in adjusting brew pressure - Profitec Pro 700

I noticed recently that my brew pressure is only at 8 bars using a blind portafilter on my profitec pro 700. In trying to adjust the pump I first leaned the machine on its side but found the screw was not well aligned with the opening in the metal sheet through which it is accessed. I thought maybe

It is for my dad, who is a wonderful carpenter and has made many beautiful things in his life. Now that he is in his 80s he wants to make this for me but is struggling a little to design it, so I was hoping there might be something ready-made he could use as a plan. I asked

Woodworking plans for tamper stand

I have seen many examples of beautifully worked, wooden tamper stands that fit a tamper, distribution tool, and portafilter on this site and others. I am wondering if anyone can point me to plans on how to build such a thing. Regards Justify

Cafes in Dewey or Rehoboth beach

Subdivide 5 gallon DI water?

You raise an interesting point - this gives me the opportunity to vary the ratio somewhat. Is there some benefit to using fewer than 5 packets with the 5 gallons of water?

Subdivide 5 gallon DI water?

Weary of the dearth of distilled water near me, I discovered the "fresh pure" water at Whole Foods today! I brought home a 5 gallon container. I am curious as to your opinions on whether to add 5 TWW packets to the 5 gallon container or to re-use an empty 1 gallon container and only add minerals as
