ACS lever safety system
I don't want to say too much because of copycatting, but he runs the water for a while to partly fill the group. The pump water debit is so fast that even with no portafilter, some water can back up in the bore under the piston. It's why when released, the piston moves initially rapidly in a approx 20 degree

I assume you have the safety system, if so the piston and stainless bore sleeve are the original piston. The safety system has a modified piston for technical reasons. It would be good to know exactly how you put the dent in the case to other people don't make the same mistake

Lelit Bianca User Experience
So I replaced the steam boiler safety valve and now when the machine comes up to temp the seal where I screwed the new valve sputters and hisses. Is there a thread lock type of stuff I should have used on the threading? I'm also pretty sure I could have screwed it in tighter but figured I'd ask here before

Espresso coffee comes out worse than before.
As soon as I can I'll go get some coffees that have the production date printed on the package. I am going to update this debate. Thank you all!

Short circuit La Marzocco Linea Classic AV
The switch has three positions; off, electronics on, and heating elements on. Did the pop and smoke happen in position 1 or 2? You wouldn't hear a pop from a burnt out heating element

Underdeveloped coffee
I would advise roasting further and backing off in subsequent roasts, rather than going for a roast this light on a new coffee first thing. This is especially ture if you are not used to the smells of a roast ready to drop -- sniff the beans in the tryer before dropping -- they should smell sweet, not vinegary or
