I'm about to pull the trigger on a Lelit Bianca. The only think I'm still not completely sure about is temperature stability (within the shot) and temperature repeatability (shot-to-shot). Does anyone here with this machine (or a similar dual-boiler E61) find either of these to...
Hello, at work we have a nice espresso machine, however I am not sure the portafilter basket and tamper fit correctly. It's taking a long time to get help from the work facilities so thought I'd try here. I've attached an image of the basket. Not sure if the tamper is too big,...

I've had my Linea Mini for about 7 months or so. Ever since I got it, when the machine is warming up, it would steam (seemingly out of the expansion valve) for about 5-10 seconds. Lately, the steam doesn't seem to stop. This morning it was steaming out of there for 30 mins. My...
Every evening I refill the water reservoir. Lately, water already loaded into the machine has started to flow back into the reservoir resulting in overflow and water on the table. What is the reason for that? Is there some valve I need to fix?
