Had my Silvia for about two months now and very happy with the shots I pull. I like to drink about 75% cortados, so I do lots of milk drinks. Wondering if anyone can help me with a single boiler workflow question.
I prefer to pull the shot first then steam, as I find...
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...
The machine has been in development for a while, and has been delayed, but is now in early production and will ship soon. It is a commercial machine. In the future, it will be interesting to see if the technology comes down to home use - where induction might be a game changer....
I do not have a Decent (yet) but have been following the developments and discussions closely for quite some time. DE is still way ahead of everything else in terms of innovation. There are a few things that can be improved which could bring it to the next level of excellence, I...
Hi All, I started with Silvia, then to Anita, and now looking to upgrade. I love the QM Anita from Chris', and it works great and I can consistently pull very good shots. The requirements that I like are:
Dependability and reliability.
Ease of fixing myself. There is no one...
Hi friends! I received my white LM Linea Micra today. Overall it looks just like the Linea but scaled down. Setup was a breeze and the packaging was nice and minimal. The box seems to be the same, if not even smaller than that of my Rocket Appartamento. I've pulled one shot so...
latest edit, 8 May 2022: I added a second paragraph to item 6 under the maintenance section. It is an ifixit guide to removing the group and the steam boiler. This has application if you have an older BDB and want to upgrade to the latest group with the two-piece collar inserts...
Sorry if this is a simple question, but I'm just covering my bases. Do boiler machines, but the SPX specifically, know when to refill their boilers when in use? That is to say, if I wanted to pull 10 shots back to back (for tiramisu maybe), would the machine stop and refill the...
Hi there,
My most important get-through-the-day tool has a leak at the solenoid elbow pictured :(
This parts seems difficult to source and I'd rather not have to replace the entire solenoid assembly due to cost. ($140 here in New Zealand).
I've got a Profitec Pro 600 with FC (called the Pro 666, or Pro Mode depending on where you live). It's been great and I'm getting better at dialling in shots.
I'm having a weird issue with wet pucks. The same grind / dose / basket combo I used on my Rancilio Silvia leaves wet...
