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,...

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...

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.

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...

My Strega worked fine right out of the box & so far I'm quite impressed with the build & finish quality although I do have a few minor quibbles function wise. The reservoir lid definitely needs a lifting handle so you don't have to remove the cup warming tray every time you want...

Hi - Hoping for some expert input into this tricky problem. I have an 18 month old Synchronika, which is being used a couple of times a day, and is using the internal water tank. Core problem is that after the start up boiler heating cycles are completed the group head will not...
