ECM Synchronika will be 4 years old this fall. Any maintanence I should be doing?

Pietro by Fiorenzato - vertical flat-burr manual grinders

The unimodal burrs are amasing for pourover. I tried a couple of different recipes with the Orea and the switch and it is crazy how it is not even close compared to the ZP6. I still have to do a few tests with V60. I assume it is closer there due to the nature of V60. On another

There's occasional pump bark and I've seen few drops of water at the top of the group, so got myself an extractor tool

La Pavoni Europiccola tamper size

If you can't messure the basket diameter, then post a picture of the machine/grouphead. We will be able to tell if it's the smaller/pre-millenium or bigger/post-mill grouphead. Personally, I find 49mm for pre-mill to small and prefer 49,5mm

Identifying machine and troubleshooting

You may not be able to pack as much coffee in the filter basket as others suggest. It may max out at about 13 gm because you will want some headroom between the coffee and the shower screen, where you want about a nickel's thickness. Let us know. There have been different versions of this machine, but your
