Yes, the flashing issue would apply to either supply method.

The official kit is out? Where?

Response from LM USA today in regard to the Micra plumb in kit

" Hello Caleb,

Thank you for reaching out. We have a large order in for these kits, but they have not yet been received. The US is the largest market globally for these machines, so they're still trying to produce enough to cover our order.

We're hoping we'll get some soon, but production has been a bit slow as the supply hose is a very unique part and we've been having supply issues with our supplier.

Cheers,
Chris"

I bought the LM plumb in kit. Tube 13 (see pdf) that connects the pump to the main supply is hard to place in the machine, because there is another tube that sits where it should go. So I had to do a lot of bending to get the tube connected.

When I put everyting together I got a serious resonance when the pump is activated. It was the two tubes touching each other and also the new tube again the plastic shield (that shields of the electronics). Also the pump resonates through the braided hose (3) into my cabinet with the metal connection. So I placed some foam between the two tubes and i also put foam around the braided hose where it touches the cabinet. So finally the machine is quiet again.

I dont use the hose to connect the drip tray to the drain. So I probably dont even need the higher feet.

I might install the pfte tube again like I did in post #53.

In other words: I think it was a waiste of money. I would have be fine with just the check valve. Those normally dont cost $300 ...

I took out the difficult tube (13) and replaced it with ptfe tube like in post #53. Resonance in the machine is gone. Much better.

I have seen this on a UK website. THere seem to be a few dotted about over the internet.

Does anyone have any idea if this is the real kit? I have messaged La Marzocco but they haven't come back to me yet

Same parts as in my kit. Same part#

I ordered it and it came yesterday. Finally, I can stop having to fill up the machine before making a coffee

They're an official (and probably the only reliable) La Marzocco parts distributor for IE/UK, so you can be 100% sure it's real.
