Hello

I have a Rocket Cinquantotto.

I usually steam between 100ml and 200ml(3.4and 6.8 oz).

I sometimes like a 1:1 ratio of espresso and milk

40ml of each (1.35 oz)

I found a stainless steel pitcher that holds 85 ml (2.9 oz)

Needless to say, the steaming gets messy,...

Hi,

I have a two year old La Spaziale Dream. On the whole, I've loved it! Sure there are annoyances: the user interface is awkward, the 53mm portafilter limits your options, and grind makes a big difference with the semi-automatic features. But my shots are just a bit quicker...

Hey! I'm looking for slayer #0 (1.0mm) steam tips and they're out of stock anywhere. I did find some at voltage restaurant supply (
but they're for the 2/3 group machines. The single group steam tips (which have a different part number) are out of stock. Is there a difference...

I don't know what came over me, but after I pulled my morning shot and switched off my machine completely (ECM Puristika) I decided to lift the brew lever to see if any (or how much) water will come out with the pump off. To my surprise (I guess I shouldn't have been surprised...

I'm playing with some manual grinders and I just realized that by adjusting grind level and being meticulous about puck prep one can achieve the target brewing pressure without relying on the OPV. In my case my machine is set to not go beyond 9 bar, and I could get the target...

In this topic I was deciding which machine with an external reservoir to buy - Bellezza Bellona or ECM Puristika. UPDATE: finally, I bought ECM Puristika (that's why I am posting here) with flow control mod installed in the store:

These are pictures with the large paddle...

Hi Bianca owners, what are the factory settings for the flow rate (in gr/sec) when the FC paddle is fully closed and fully open ?

It's easy to define flow rate: put a cup on a scale and pour water (without the portafilter) for 30 seconds. Then divide the resulting weight by...

Anyone have any experience with this guy? Sales, service, internals, parts and build quality, and if course, how well it makes espresso and steams? Searched this forum and another, and found zero hits for the bugster.

Anyone know why it has such a chinzy name? I guess the same...

Hello all,

I am new here but since I started this project I've been reading many of the posts here about the Pasquini Livia 90. Which lead me to believe someone here might have some valuable information for me that could help me problem solve my rebuild.

I recently acquired...
