Nuova Simonelli Mac Personal 1 - Programming doesn't work

Thanks WWWired, reading your older posts on these machines convinced me to take a stab at mine For closure, I found out from NS directly that the older control boards used manual potentiometer style adjustments behind the buttons. The newer style control panel will have the button method. Thanks for all your work on this board!

Decent Espresso news

{image} Now available: optional lid for DE1 water tank The DE1 water tank slides under the espresso machine, with a few millimeters cap between it and the bottom of the machine.

Mazzer Philos Comments

Sorry, I was referring to the "Timemore Sculptor 078s". And this wasn't the only grinder I had to shim right out of the box, I had the same issue even with smaller burrs and well established manufacturers (Eureka Specialita 55mm) but at least in Eureka's case, the access to the burr chamber and the entire alignment procedure was a breeze

New Mazzer grinder announcement - Mazzer Philos

Highest chance of success - roasters

Kaffelogic can be used successfully with limited roasting knowledge using one of the many available roasting profiles, and is totally repeatable. Batch size is small, but running a few roasts back to back is super-simple

Differences between Ww core 80mm and Ssp 83mm HU in espresso

Yeah I try other beans and ratios sometimes but always come back to the old Faithfull. It's true a different burr may be able to bring out something I like in lighter roasts or longer pulls but it's a huge expense 500-900 NZD if I don't like it. Also the cast LS wug bused to offer have been

Izzo Alex Duetto 3 - pressure valve, need help !

It is plumbed yes, and the temperature is set to 128 and 93 degrees. Before this happened, normally with 128 degrees its around the high end on the pressure

The Grinder Evolution Continues

Most of the fancy third-wave shops I know took their Roburs off the counter years ago. Their iconic 83mm conical burrs in the 220 V models (which is the same as in your Key) are seen by many as not modern enough anymore in the era of light roasts and many new flat burr grinders. Me, I am still
