La Pavoni Professional overheating
My Zacconi Riviera (Eagle) has a similar pstat arrangement to the one in your machine. Just descaling the conventional way isn't the answer. Sooner or later, the copper pipe from the bottom of the boiler to the pstat will fill with crud. Remove it, blow/ream it out, and be sure that there's no crud left in the bottom of the

Which 1Zpresso grinder for both espresso and pourover?

La Marzocco Linea Mini EMP Mod
Congrats on the install @geomoser. The timer location looks nice. I've had my EMP mod installed for a week now and I'm still struggling with it. Slick engineering for sure - the brushless dc motor is a joy to listen to and the level of control is impressive. But I haven't had a decent shot of espresso
