Steam wand valve replacement on Crem ONE

Hello everyone, I am a happy owner of the Crem one 2b r-lfpp (profiler). I always enjoyed joystick style valves more than rotary knobs. I wondered if anyone here has any experience with replacing the valves to joysticks or to different ones in general and if anyone has tips, insights, pointers or any other info on the matter? It

And in fact, I can't order the coffee he used, it's only available in Italy. But I'm sure there's a reasonably comparable espresso roast available to me here in the coffee wasteland of the USA Brad

Inside diameter of Jura milk hose?

If you have the black connector, just find any host that fits it tightly. If the cappuccino froth isn't hot enough, put the clear restrictor in the milk-container end. You can probably find a whole kit of what you need from any Jura dealer, or online if you don't have the connectors. Example: {link}

By incredible coincidence, Luca just posted "this" gem on Diaspora (requires Diaspora access, natch). Pretty much covers most things I'm asking, aside from grinder choice, that, and I'm probably not going to order his exact bean, though it's tempting. Brad

Under pressure at idle and over pressure when pulling a shot

Looks like both the expansion valve in your waste tray, and bypass on the pump, need adjustment. The expansion valve caps the max pressure in the system (often adjusted to a max of 12 bars), and the bypass sets your max pressure delivered by the pump. When I have pressure leftover in the brew boiler, then turn on the machine

Under pressure at idle and over pressure when pulling a shot

Hello hello! Coming back with another questions that I'm hoping to find the answer to. I have the older model GB5, and a dillema. At idle the pressure is around 6-7 bars, on free flow without a portafilter the pressure shoots to around 14-15 bars, and when pulling a shot it goes off the gauge, past 15 bars.

Boilergate question

Why not ask them. You'll want to explain the situation in a lot more depth, perhaps include whether or not the machine is less than a year old from date of original sale, and why it needs a new boiler. {link}
