I have an Acaia Lunar and a Brewista, but I would like a cheap extra scale that can get knocked around. Has anyone tried the cheap Acaia copies on AliExpress, like this one

I would like to hear from others, your experiences, with the Key.

I consider my renewed interest in espresso truly began in July of 2021 when I purchased a Londinium L1 spring lever on the buy/sell forum. It's a 2014 legacy model that uses boiler pressure for pre-infusion...

I got a new vacuum breaker for my GS3 from a very reputable and knowledgeable espresso dealer. Now, the new breaker (on the top) is actually bigger than the old one (at the bottom).

The installed new breaker sits too high for me to put the metal case back.

I am interested in trying out some flow and pressure profiling aND As I have owned for many years a double boiler e61 machine with a PID, I was thinking if buying an after market e61 flow control device to have my machine installed with it.

Hi,
