So I've read a lot lately about pressure and flow and how they are interrelated. I know with something like a Stada, 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...

I have a few days of use on the Eagle One Prima and wanted to share my thoughts and answer the many questions I am getting in one place.

Initial thoughts are:

It has some drawbacks.
1: you have to drill your own hole in the drip tray to set up the drain (stainless drilling is...

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.
So for next steps do I change the setting on the PID menu (E1) from 27 to 29 or 30?
Thanks!!

Just got the kit for my sync.

I haven't changed anything. The machine is almost 2.5 years old. I make about an espresso a day.

So I always thought that it actually never gave it much thought, that by raising the lever on my Rocket Appartamento, that some built in pre infusion was happening.

I never had spurting it spraying or severe channeling.

Well, I got the flow control device and installed the...

I noticed today that ECM is touting their Puristika single boiler espresso machine on social media. It says coming soon , yet I see a video from 2019 showing this machine at some European show.

Why is it being highlighted now?

Hey guys

Been lurking around for a while - first time posting. The forum here has been super helpful.

Anyways, I got a New Olympia Cremina in December of 2021, and I love it. But I noticed an issue and wondered if anyone else has this issue?

With the lever all the way down,...

Hello All,

I have a Rocket Appartamento. I've watched plenty of videos now on the E61, and finding that sweet spot...just beyond the lever's midway point where water will flow, but the pump will not activate, provide a pre-soak to the coffee.

My question is: Why not just...

About 50% of the time, after pulling my shots and taking the portafilter off, the coffee puck gets stuck to the shower screen. I am using 16g of coffee and pulling 30 second shots + 4 second pre infusion. I tamp the coffee very well and evenly, and the pucks that don't get stuck...
