Macap M7D problem/jamming

Hi all. Are your M7Ds set for timed grinding or single dosing? For timed grinding, how many seconds is the grinder taking to dispense 20 grams (should take approximately 3-3.5 seconds)? Have you been experimenting with different roast levels of coffee? We've found that any grinder can jam when being...

LUCCA M58 by Quick Mill, reviews and owners thread

Hi Josh (and anyone else that is interested), Sorry if this question was not clearly spoken to before. This is definitely not the expectation we have for the machine, and the rare occasions it has happened have been from little tweaks in shipping (which our tech department has been able to coach thr...

Espresso Machine Advice, Budget <$1500 USD

Good points. But before checking price I would research the learning curve and routine needed for these different machine types. As time goes on, the consistency and ease of use will be far more memorable than up front discounts. A key concept that came to mind from your post is flexibility. Since y...

ECM Synchronika

The most important thing is how your coffee is tasting. If you aren't experiencing burned/spicy/etc notes your machine is likely not running significantly too hot (it may be perfect for that coffee). If it is tasting a bit hot, you can also easily drop your brew temp to correct. You could also conta...

ECM Synchronika

Yep! The offset will be easy to verify for accurate shots every time, so in our mind it's a non-issue (simply changing the Celsius offset to Fahrenheit, only takes a minute). Our Scace tests simulating shots pulled one minute apart showed that despite the Pro 700's PID displaying temperatures slight...

ECM Synchronika

One functional difference between the two machines is ECM's updated e61 patent, which includes a stainless steel mushroom and one piece top cap. But the boilers (both controlled by the PID) and heating elements are all shared with the Pro 700. With the instant on/off joysticks action, the temperatur...

Questions about different Profitec Pro 300's from different vendors!

Hi guys, I apologize for any confusion from the specs posted on our site, and we'll have that corrected immediately. When I first heard that the machines were dropping so significantly in voltage, I was eager to put their claims to the test (because the 20 amp model set the bar so high). But this vi...

Profitec Pro 700 vs. Lucca M58

Many wish the Pro 700 also had a stainless steel frame as well, to minimize chance of rusting. @BP

T.E.A. Coated Boiler - is what exactly?

The Scace verifies that we pull identical shots from these two temperature controlled e61 machines. But also I have a few questions that lead back to your above sentiment. Do you know how long Quick Mill has been making espresso machines, and how they hold up over time? Also, that the two machines u...
