I have a new Profitec 800 Pro lever espresso machine, live at 4,600 FT elevation, and experiencing extraction issues. It appears to be related to heat, but would love your opinion here. I'm getting very elongated, foamy extractions, with hissing and bubbles.

Hi - long time 'lurker' (have relied heavily on this community without having to post my own questions for years now) so first hello, and thank you for being such a great resource.

I am in the midst of a full refurb on a Brasilia Mini Classic and have basically a 2-part...

Hi,

I inadvertently swapped the Programming key and water dispensing key during the reprogramming of a Rocket Boxer 2 group machine.

After some investigation, I deduced that the Gicar doser controller was reset to its default layout. I would like to change back the keyboard...

Having owned both an Izzo Vivi and currently a Rocket R58, I wonder why the e61 brewgroup is so extremely tight to operate.
In both machines I replaced the valves and partially bought new springs too, lubed everything as per instructed by guides online, but I am getting to the...

Hi all,

Nick from Fellow here. I'm currently VP of Hardware and R&D; responsible for all product development. I also design a fair bit of the products myself. I've been a member of this board for some years now, and was originally posting answers to questions regarding some...

Yep, exactly! :) Francesco knows what he's doing!

Do you mind sharing some info on your PID? Mine is 220V and I was going to pull the plug (ha!) on a plug adapter and a 110V heating element from Brooks.
