Thank you both. I will leave the flow at 9 bars while dialing in and shoot for 1:2 in 25-30s. Does that sound correct?

UPDATE: the control panel issue was a fuse. I replaced the fuse and the 2 melted connectors, and the control panel is now responsive. Issue #1 solved Unfortunately, we still have the issue of the pump. With everything else working correctly/not making any strange sounds, it does appear that the pump is toast. It *works*, but it makes a

Oops, sorry. I originally documented the testing process here: "Klatch Greens Sale - 12 days of..." I then tried the same test on some additional bags of roasted coffee, and got essentially the same statistics. That's still a really small sample of all the (millions of?) similar bags out there. I suspect the bag's first

The temperature in the boiler is related to the pressure in the boiler. Without getting into a lot of thermodynamics which either you understand already or probably don't care about, the eventual idle temperature will roughly track the boiler temperature. Reducing the system temperature will reduce the amount you need to flush. (A scant cup of water doesn't sound like

I wish this were funnier than it actually is because yeah, William Gibson here has a point

A good choice would be either an Izzo Alex Duetto IV or even better would be the LM GS3MP. One thing to definitely stick with is - Chris' Coffee !

So you not willing to say, my assumption was close, but I guess maybe I was or you would have pointed out I was wrong?

Thanks for the information. Great stuff especially the optimized instahot. Is super auto development where the milk module comes from? At first flush it sounds a bit nasty to have milk circulate up into tubing and adhere there. And the water saved of steam is lost to flushing it seems to me. My beloved La

That is what we use, actually it is 197 but close enough. Excellent coffee

I wasn't asking how you vac seal the bag. I was wondering how you determined that 80% of the bags you had were leaking
