Flat White
Sorry, but Russell Crowe isn't an Aussie..... Long black=Americano (although many places in the US use far too much water), and the espresso should ALWAYS be extracted on top of the hot water regardless of where it is made. A Flat white is usually 5-6oz, has a single shot and a thin layer of froth. ...

Latte Art- multiple drinks from one steamed pitcher?
What works for me is stretching until the milk is at about 105 degrees (you should have your hand on the pitcher at all times to feel the temp), then raise the pitcher slightly (about 1/2"-1") to sink the steam tip slightly for the rolling or spinning.

Keep in mind your problem may be a combination of all 3 listed above. I would strongly recommend measuring the water temp as it comes out o...

Then just need to fashion a bracket with holes that line up with the holes in the motor's base & bolt it all together. I had been previously t...

Brew pressure gauge - Is it the pump pressure or the boiler pressure?
Hi David, As Randy said the gauge shows the boiler pressure, which is representative of the steam temperature. The nut you described is for adjusting pump pressure, however it wont affect the reading on your gauge as the gauge is boiler pressure. The Faema 98 has a vibe pump IIRC. It sounds like you...

Pressure profiling with a standard rotary pump?
Hi John, A recreation of a spring lever profile is just what I want to start with, plan to experiment with other profiles from there. I suspect a profile may need to be changed as the coffee degasses to achieve consistency in a commercial setting

Pressure profiling with a standard rotary pump?
Hi Max, I want to set this up on my Linea before it goes in to my new shop, so manual controls are out as I want to use a microcontroller to handle the pre-infusion & control the pressure. I want to recreate a spring lever type profile to start with. Eric, I cannot do the electronic
