Hello,

ITO is by far the most sophisticated aftermarket control option for such machines - SBDU with vibe pump and basically enables almost everything that the industry has developped as an espresso machine...

Hi, I have a plumbed in E61 that has been off for 9 months. I did turn off the water line from the wall/filter to the machine, and it has been this way since. Before I turn it on, I understand that I need to change the filter to prevent any possible rust from entering the...

So, the question is: I am seeing around 10-10.5 bars while getting espresso. I've tried changing dose to have less in basket (from 20gr...

Just picked up a brand new Lavazza Espresso Point machine today. A guy in my area used to own a restaurant supply business and has a bunch of these in a storage unit. Some are new and some are used. He found a brand new one for me. I bought it largely as an impulse buy because...

Got the new Linea Mini home just last night after picking it up at Clive Coffee here in Portland. Clive held a nice open house event on Memorial Day where they invited customers down to the store to try out some of the new equipment and check out some of their open box buys....
