Hey all,
I found someone selling a .5mm Gicleur for the linea. Was wondering if anyone have tried something like this before.

Hello:
Incredible ...
Your espresso machine gicleur is exactly the same type of machined brass piece as a gas burner hob injector/nozzle churned out by automatic machines to the tune of a few thousands an hour and come in a great many shapes and sizes.
You just have to shop around and find the right one.
Then drill it to the size you want.
eg:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Burner-Convers ... B07V2RC6JM
That's what I did with my Cimbali Junior D/1 and it cost me nothing because I had one left over from when I set up my range.

Actually those gas burner injectors are the same as the ones in an E61, not in a linea mini.civ wrote:Hello:

OP I do agree that the price is too high and that a readily available 0.6mm gicleur should suffice, but it's your money.
