La Marzocco GS3 MP paddle adjustment/preinfusion

Can anyone confirm what the paddle/valve system was prior to the conical valve which was introduced around 2016? The machines with no pressure gauges on top of the groupheads.... would they have had any feedback?

Caffeine break

Sounds pretty serious and I hope you do well. Did the cardiologists have any idea what might have caused it? Cardiomyopathy has been associated with both COVID-19 as well as the mRNA COVID shots. Even the Influenza virus has caused cardiomyopathy in some people

Besides the price it also helps avoid container waste. P.S. Given
