Sanremo You - Single Group Espresso Machine

This is a new "feature" in 1.39 that will be changed in version 1.40. The intent of the flush is to fill the boilers post service / post draining and if the boiler just needs a simple top off when you power it up it does this new purge. I understand the intent but it is annoying and

La pavoni professional overheating

Hi, My pavoni professional will overheat from time to time. When I turn it on and let it heat up, between 10 and 20 minutes, sometimes it won't stop between the desired pressure 0.5 to a little over 1.0. It will sometimes shoot up between 1.5 and 2. It's also happened a couple of times where it went

April geeks out on brewing - Part 1 [VIDEO]

50-ish minutes of Patrik Rolf of April explaining brewer design and manual brewing in Singapore. I'd say that the video is worth watching, especially if you are into manual brewing light roasts. {video}

Profitec Pro 500 - large SSR replacement

Good afternoon, This is the second time my stock relay has crapped out on me in less than three years (although used a fair bit). I've recently paid for the large SSR from Profitec.

Speed-Function-Effort: Hand Grinder Espresso

The K4/K6 handle is a tiny bit longer than that of the K0/K2, but in practice it doesn't make a noticeable difference. Unlike the 1Zpresso K-Plus and ZP6 (which I also own) where the handle is quite a bit longer and does make some difference (they fit the Kingrinder grinders). Handle length is not enough to make any

Issue with Rancilio Silvia V6 Steam Wand - Need Assistance!

Hello! I descale with Urnex (10 to 1 using the liquid version). No, actually not. However I descaled yesterday, didn't seem to help. But now I do hear a whistling/hissing sound which is quite loud - and as far as I remember that sound wasn't noteable yesterday.. Should I try to descale again? Maybe regarding the sound, something
