I have been toying with acquiring a flow control device. I have a Lucca/Quickmill M58, Niche. I drink almost exclusively milk drinks, 6,8oz lattes, using typically medium roast espresso blends, although would like to begin trying more single origin coffees. Will flow control...

I recently spend $3K on a new machine, bottomless portafilter and a tamper all made by the same manufacturer. I stuck with the same brand thinking the $110.00 tamper would fit properly in the basket by the same manufacturer. Nope, I was wrong.
