Looks like Lelit is introducing an HX that addresses the usability of HX machines in the area of brew water temperature control. However I only see a low, med, high setting which would mean nothing to me. I couldn't understand how their control system works.
I was hoping to plumb the machine a bit further needing a 15-18 ft hose. I assume that's fine? But I'd like to understand exactly why they suggest this. Can anyone fill me in? Thank you.
My Profitec 600 review is based on 5 months of daily use making 2-4 drinks after formerly owning the lower model, the Profitec 500 for 1.5 years. Same grinder with routine cleanings and single dose extractions and both boiler and steam temps are maxed and at proper boiler temp....
Hey all - Read the myriad of threads here and have followed the directions to test flash boil point. Looks like mine is closer to 102/103 than 100.

Hello! I am an industrial design student doing my thesis project on espresso machines. As part of my research, I wanted to know what buttons/knobs/switches/tactile elements, etc. you love and hate on your machine and why.
If you have photos to share of the parts even better!...
Hi everyone, new member here. Thanks for having me!
I purchased a new DC Studio machine about 6 months ago and noticed that when I try to froth a large sized milk pitcher (60cl) the steam wand loses pressure too quickly so the milk doesn't whirl properly by the end.
