Help purchasing Ecm home Profitec Go or Pro 300...
Good morning everyone! I ask for your help in choosing my next espresso machine. My coffee grinder is a Eureka Specialità which was combined with a Gaggia Evo. My choice was the Profitec Drive, but from what I have read and understood, I would have to empty it continuously due to the problem of limescale accumulation. Furthermore, it would require

Breville Dual Boiler gurgling, Brand New machines x 2
Ridiculous if you ask me as any new machine out-of-the-box shouldn't require much of anything to be up and running. Why people continue to recommend Breville 'appliances' is beyond me. I don't wanna read about them offering so much, the classic 'punching beyond their price', etc. On various forums, especially the last few months' I've seen a drastic amount of

Could the issue with the scale, in my case, be that I have the new Linea Mini R? Other software than the 'older' Linea mini? Something I want to note is that I have 2 LM scales. One I'm using for the 'Brew by Weight and the other one is used with my Pico grinder. I paired the one

Rancilio Silvia Help
Not seeing any pics attached and I personally wouldn't take a machine to any electrician. The electrical side of things is only part of how a machine functions and you should be able to easily/safely diagnose it at home

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings
To be brutally honest you seem far more patient than I would be. The cost and hype surrounding a grinder such as this should give the end user peace of mind that it's functioning 100% as it should be/expected every single use. As with most things in life if something seems off with an item you count on daily and

Differences between Ww core 80mm and Ssp 83mm HU in espresso

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings
Answer to "why I didn't just return it and get a new grinder": I did some troubleshooting with Weber first. After not getting anywhere really I did ask them to send me a shipping slip to return the grinder for a new one or just get my money back. They did not comment on this at all. When I asked
