I have an opportunity to buy a used La Cimbali DT1 Junior. It was used on a yacht and form what I was told, well maintained. The owner no longer wanted it, was gifted and then store away for a couple of years. Would something like this be worth 960 dollars? I would like to own it mainly because I

Hello, I've an issue on a Sanremo Capri dual group espresso machine where the hot water tap is leaking from the valve (when I pop the front off the plastic knob water is dripping out there) - this only happens when the valve is in the open position and seems to vary based on whether there is an lateral

Ah! Yes you are completely right - the steam on the LM is amazing. I agree if you're making multiple milk drinks back to back there's a significant benefit in the Mini.

I would guess the lever is standard but then are broken or lost and end up being replaced with the knobs. For the small group spring I have always used the CMA lever springs. They are a decent fit. Otherwise I use the same spring as on a Marte/Mercurio

Tastewise, this resulted in more mouthfeel and aftertaste. The caveat is that simply I could be paying more attention to prep and distribution upon receiving a new toy

The Zodiaco spring at their site had different dimensions from the spring in my machine the last time I checked. At the moment I'm using the stock one. These are three others. {image} All slightly different.I haven' t been able to get an exact replica yet. I measured different strength in all three of them . One is way

Paul, great that you chime in, I was also wondering about the differences I did not spot initially. Do you also happen to know if all/most Urania's came with the lever for fill/hot water? Mine has a wheel knobwhich is pretty tight at times, and I was thinking to swap it for the lever if I can get my hands

Was swapping out my V1.1 burrs for new SSP MP burrs and noticed these scratches on the v1.1 burrs. I've only run about 2lbs of medium roast coffee through these so far. Is this normal wear and tear? {image} {image}
