Following up on my previous posts regarding vibration from inside the machine.
I replaced the pieces of plastic card with pieces of thin silicone per Lelit's suggestion (I cut small strips from a silicone baking mat).
Machine has been running silent since I first put the pieces of plastic in.
I consider this problem solved.
One item of humor: When removing one of the plastic pieces I accidentally dropped it down into the machine. I fished it back out with a wad of gum on the end of a chop stick. I successfully retrieved the piece of plastic only to drop the wad of gum into a small corner of the machine where I couldn't easily retrieve it. I now have a very specific personal identifier in my machine that makes it unique from all others. Don't try to steal my machine - I will know it's mine.

Hey!
Would you change the shower screen on the bianca to a IMS 200 IM or 35 WM?
Or in generell... is there something on the bianca you would change / upgrade / replace?
Thanks

I don't see anything wrong with the stock shower screen. I get good dispersion from it.
The only thing I changed on mine was swapping to a silicone group head gasket. I prefer the way those lock in.

Thanks for your reply!
Another question... which shot mirrors do you guys use (if you use one)?

The Craig Lyn mirror is excellent https://craiglyn.com/product/group-glass/

But really pricey! I know some members have been using small mirror from the auto parts store. Anyone has the link?

There's this one but it would have to be reworked a bit. https://www.harborfreight.com/2-inch-mi ... 97217.html
I've been looking for this one I've used on my La Pavoni for several years but can't find where I got it. It has a magnetic base with a couple of jointed arms and small mirror. Certainly not as nice looking.

Would you be so kind and share which one you've got and maybe a link from where?slybarman wrote:
