[SOLD] Orphan Espresso LIDO 2

La Marzocco GS/3 with Particles in Steam Boiler Water

That's the exact same sound mine makes, and has since new. Every other GS/3 I've ever used does the same. I can't remember the exact explanation, but I know I've read about it on the forums before. I also asked when I called La Marzocco USA once, and they confirmed it was normal. Sorry, can't remember

La Marzocco GS/3 with Particles in Steam Boiler Water

The audio on your video is tough to discern. Maybe try moving the microphone closer to the body of the machine and further away from the water splashing into the cup. I think I'm hearing the same sounds I've always heard from my GS/3, but it's really hard to tell with where you had the mic. As

La Marzocco GS/3 steam lever 'auto-releases" i.e. self-centres

Mine started doing this when it was fairly new and La Marzocco USA sent a tech out to replace the entire steam valve assembly (under warranty), as apparently they had a bad batch during manufacturing. Not sure if that's the case w/ yours since this just started happening. When was your GS/3 manufact...

Monolith Flat with SSP?

I'm really looking forward to anyone's observations and comments about the new SSP burrs for the Flat, as it pertains to both espresso and any manual brewing technique (as I use my Flat for both). I'm on the fence as to whether to purchase these burrs, or just put my name in the hat for a Flat MAX.

New Monolith Flat

When you guys get your new SSP burrs, would you mind giving a quick test run in the pour over/ immersion range as well please? Probably not as critical as with espresso settings, but I'm curious how these will fare in that range, as my Flat is a dual purpose grinder. When I picked my Flat up from

New Monolith Flat

It's a beaut Clark! May I ask what it's paired with machine-wise? I just got my Flat as well and had it all blacked out w/ walnut to match the machine

How many Monoliths are they making at a time.

It took me over a year to get both of mine ordered, but I'm glad I didn't give up. I'd offer you the same advice. So far, the Monolith Conical has exceeded my expectations, by a longshot. My assumption is that the Flat will as well when it arrives later this month. Anyhow, maybe there's an
