Is this boiler salvageable
That might be an idea. I don't currently own any taps but maybe I need to invest in a set

Fellow Aiden anyone?
Just wanted to state that there was a mistake on our page about current draw. The heating element in the machine is 1700W, but it will never pull more than a standard breaker can handle, even back to back. Average draw is around 13A. We also developed algorithms for the machine to do the best with the voltage out of

Is this boiler salvageable
Just to clarify, I wasn't able to remove the piece of the fitting that broke off inside. It's still in there. The thread you can see from the outside is actually a reverse thread that was cut by the easy out extractor that I tried (the thing sitting on the boiler in the second photo). I can purchase a

Londinium Vectis use cases
I have been using the Quickmill Achilles 0996 for over 10 years now, and am looking for a new lever machine. I was hoping that some of the current Vecis users can help me out with some use case and workflow issues. 90% of the time I pull three shots (split with my wife) and steam milk for

Caffeine break
Admittedly, I didn't try every decaf out there. Howell, Counter Culture and more eastern roasters were next on the list, but I just gave up all the arrhythmia precursors. The Fresh Roasted was the only one that ticked all the boxes for the 18g in -> ≈35g out: crema persistence, mouthfeel, taste, etc. on my equipment. As always, YMMV
