Meaningful upgrade from Lelit Bianca V3

One other point. ALL espresso MACHINES HAVE PREINFUSION. Preinfusion has somehow become some sort of mystic 'feature' when the reality is every single machine has it. Preinfusion is the time from pump on to the coffee hitting pressure (sometimes referred to as the dwell). Flow Control or Line Pressure (or manual levers or certain

Meaningful upgrade from Lelit Bianca V3

You think the Key is not an 'extremely high quality grinder?' I've owned Monolith Flat and Monolith Max. I choose to own a Key because it's the best grinder I've ever owned. Not sure I understand what you're implying?

Dull, flat flavour with V60 and 1Zpresso SP6

Thanks all for the hints and suggestions. I tried to use slightly cooler water (90 - 88 degrees Celsius) and finer grind (around 4) and the cup was definitively better, therefore I will try to stick to this pattern and seek improvements.

Brasilia Club - boiler keep pushing out gasket

Thank you Jake for your time! That diagram is not my Brasilia Club. As I know, that is diagram of Brasilia Lady. Brasilia club is more crazy simple. There is no normal thermostat on it boiler.

Breville Dual Boiler 920 little flow through group head

I've cleaned the shower screen and the gasket to make sure those are clean and they are clean and don't have any blockages. The shower head assembly link is very useful! I am getting a new screw driver which will (hopefully) fit under the group head to take it out for assessment
