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.

Meaningful upgrade from Lelit Bianca V3

Stain on df64 burrs
As Roy and Craig said you need to determine if the "stain" is above, below, or the same level as the burr coating. If it is above, it could be gunk adhered to the burr coating and you should be able to scrub it off, hopefully without scraping the burr coating. It could also be rust, which typically rises a

Breville Dual Boiler 920 little flow through group head
