Lagom P64 Flat (Option-O)

I replaced mine earlier this year. OO sent me a new "upgraded" one that is much sturdier with installation guide. Here is the video for the replacement process. It looks scary but it is not bad at all. The most difficult part was disconnecting the cables connecters. Just follow the process and it should not take more than 30

ACS waiting times

I expected a customs exception for paying an import duty, but what I received this morning was a request for the full name and address of the manufacturing facility. I have already sent a query to Maria at ACS, but has anyone else had this issue arise? It's a new one in my experience. Thanks, Matt

Coffee too fresh for espresso. How to tell?

Oh sorry, somehow overlooked this reply! Yes, I've heard that now from a couple of roasters in Germany, some of which also state it directly on the package. I used to have weird results with fresh beans, but waiting really helped

Help purchasing ECM Home, Profitec Go, or Pro 300...

Thank you for the answers. I'm actually having an indigestion of news and information and for this I apologize. My budget stops at 3000 euros, with some scruples of conscience I would buy the Profitec Drive, because it is beautiful, it has all the functions I want, but having a double boiler, especially the 2 liter one, makes

La Marzocco Linea Mini solenoid issue

I'm looking into replacing the inlet solenoid, I think it is L053/110.01. I can't find it anywhere and I wonder if there's a Parker solenoid that could be substituted

Lagom P64 Flat (Option-O)

I've just did a deep clean of P64 for the first time and while cleaning the lower burr chamber, the declumping screen fell off through the chute I didn't even apply the vacuum close to the chute... Really disappointed. I've emailed Option-O, but curious if anyone knows how complicated it will be to install a new screen?

What are they doing here?

IME soaking greens in cold water (to rehydrate) nets a darker liquid. {image} I have also roasted and brewed gulf-style coffee and yes, it has been beige or brown. Maybe the orange is from all the beans mixed in and the lighting in the original video? It almost looks like fermenting coffee, but my guess is that

Has my brew pressure gauge lost its mind?

Well, yes... it has... but I don't understand why... I am doing a frame off restoration of an old Astoria 2 group machine and it has the normal dual pressure gauge. I am reassembling the machine, and ran it a bit to check for leaks and test the electronics. And I noticed that the brew pressure garage is sitting
