I have the same sort of valve in my Synchronika (my Sync looks a lot like your 700). However, I've never messed with it, so can't speak with any authority.

Hi all, My Mahlkönig E80 GBW arrived today. Delivered by an official Mahlkönig dealer in Germany. With the 250g bean hopper as an accessory for a total of EUR 3,000 incl. VAT/sales tax and shipping (that's USD 2,670 before sales tax). First pictures can be found here: {link} To put this into perspective: I've been in the

I made a video showing the use of these 3D printed stands {video}

I think that scale in the brew boiler/brew path could explain all the symptoms. If the mushroom looks scaled that would be a hint, but even if it's not badly scaled there could be sufficient gunk in the brew system to cause problems

I know this is a little off-topic but I am really curious, how does a tilted base help the ode? The burrs are vertically mounted so already gravity assists the grounds to go out of the grounds chamber

After my first try using it, I'm kind of disappointed with the raked result. I thought this would level/flatten the top mound of my puck after my wdt routine. But it "looks" like it got worse. Anyone here on same boat as I am? I'll give it another try but I'm not optimistic. This is probably for people
