Hello...
I have a one year old ECM Synchronika with flow control from WLL, love it.
In the last few weeks, month, after warm up....I flush some water through the group head to warm the portafilter basket, remove and wipe before loading with coffee. When the pump is refilling the...

Hello-did some searches and looked on youtube as well, but didn't come up with anything that answered my question.

I have a ECM Sync, bought new last year from WLL, with flow control.

My machine steam temp is set to 255 and the gauge shows in between 1 and 1.5 bars (1.275)....

I have a grouphead thermometer that I like and don't want to remove. If I install a flow control device, can I use the boiler pressure gauge to adjust pressure in the grouphead during extraction?

Thanks!

San Remo seems to have thrown their hat into the ring for the high end single group home machine. The design is very similar to the Cafe Racer. It will be available in 110-120v and 220v with a water tank. It has a manual paddle to pressure/flow profile real time and...

I have a few days of use on the Eagle One Prima and wanted to share my thoughts and answer the many questions I am getting in one place.

Initial thoughts are:

It has some drawbacks.
1: you have to drill your own hole in the drip tray to set up the drain (stainless drilling is...

I got my Breville Dual Boiler back in late fall of 2011. I was getting ready for a promotion at work that I was going to celebrate with a saturated brew group machine, probably a GS/3 because of their value in comparison to the single group Cyncra (that I really wanted) and...
