Hi Everyone, I'm doing a rebuild of a La Pavoni Pub single group Hx machine at the moment. It has a 3l boiler and a thermosyphon-heated group.

I've found the HB forums very useful, and while I've read through some threads about compression fittings (no pun intended) I have...

I searched this forum and tried to add my question to an old topic ( ACE DotShot on my La Marzocco Linea Mini ) but it is an old thread that is no longer accepting comments. So I have to open a new one.

I am interested in the ACE DotShot/ ACE Double Dee Shot Timer on my La...

Just curious, what would you regard as the most forgiving blends you have worked with for espresso? When I say forgiving, I am thinking of the gamut: dial-in, (grind and temperature, dose) and also preparation (no WDT, just tamp and go). What is a coffee we could recommend to a...

Hello, have a major issue with my musica. I had noticed the coffee temp was lower than normal and last time I turned on the main circuit breaker tripped. I opened it up as thought maybe heating element was gone. When I looked I saw some corrosion around the boiler and element...

Hello All HB:

I powered up my brand new Breville Dual Boiler today. My Duo Temp has been assigned to the closet (for now....).

I made some water with distilled water/baking soda. Cleaned up and organized my area. Bought a bottomless portafilter on Ebay and had everything ready...

I got my Breville Dual Boiler back in late fall of 2011. I was getting ready for a promotion at work that I was going to celebrate with a saturated brew group machine, probably a GS/3 because of their value in comparison to the single group Cyncra (that I really wanted) and...

A few months ago I bought a Solis (Breville) Grind & Infuse Compact not knowing that I was actually buying a new hobby :roll: . I immediately got some fresh beans from a local coffee roaster and started making mostly cappuccinos. I didn't have a lot of experience at the...

I've got Lelit coffee machine as a wedding gift recently and hoping to get Niche zero grinder to complete the setup. Unfortunately, Lelit's portafilter is 57mm in diameter and I was wondering if the Niche dosing cup will still fit?

I aware that Niche zero currently makes only...
