1. Anyone have an all stock (no mods what so ever) Gaggia Classic Pro 2019 and getting great espresso with a commercially available coffee?
I haven't been able to get a good espresso shot, however, these bitter shots have tasted great in cappuccinos and Americanos. Is that a...
Hi, I recently got a Lelit Elizabeth Machine. I am very happy with my purchase and don't get me wrong, the shots have been great. However, I just can't get the pressure to go to 9 psi. It feels as if the machine is set at 9.7 psi of pressure and there is nothing I can do to...

I've tried adjusting OPV in my Rocket Cellini V2 machine for 9 bars, but it seems it's more complicated that I though it would be. Before doing anything, I checked blind basket reading from brew pressures gauge and it reads 10,5 bars without factory settings. I would like...
So I've read a lot lately about pressure and flow and how they are interrelated. I know with something like a Strada, you can truly control pressure with the pump. I currently have a Pro 600 with FCD, and I've noticed that when I do long preinfusions, at some point the pressure...
