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

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

Prufrock has an association with coffee guru James Hoffmann if that is in any way relevant to you - another vote for Rosslyn

But

i've done a complete renovation of the mushroom/E61 grouphead on a Izzo Alex Duetto 3. Its really done magic. Only thing is that when i turn the machine on, the brewing pressure seem to go up to around 12 bar.. not that anything happens. But i have to open the lever up and down again before it goes down to
