Profitec Pro 800 - high boiler pressure, direct water connection
Dear all, Yesterday I plumbed in my Profitec Pro 800. A direct water connection via BWT pressure regulator set to 2.8 bar, a Bestmax premium filter and the aquameter. Everything seems to work okay except one strang behavior. The boiler pressure indicator goes rapidly to 2.5 instead of 1.25 bar. When I turn on

La Marzocco Linea Mini User Experience
I think it would, yes. I'd go with the linked 70 Duro (pack of 4, perfect match to replace all 4 mounts). Their sorbothane is allegedly unmatched in absorbing vibrations, there's a really good chance this will be the perfect replacement. I've no way of getting these to Europe any time soon, but so far the silicone gel I've used

Next Level Pulsar Brewer
Been using mine for almost 2 weeks now. Doses between 12 grams up to 30 grams, using Gagne's recipe, have been amazing. Medium/fine grind (4 on an Ode Gen2) I've found I'm using smaller doses, but getting better results than my old Kalita Wave that I had dialed in rally well after 10 years of use.

Quickmill Andreja Premium. Lots of water flows back to reservoir?
If the flow and pressure over the prep are good and it's making a good espresso, it might be just fine... How much is "Lots"?
