Arrived! Laranzato HC-600
Hi Rob, I used the available template at 100% to make one up and installed it on my SJ yesterday! Works like a charm, although my material may be a little on the thick side. Cheers, Troy

Does reverse osmosis water filter prevent scale buildup?
The RO units I work with need carbons for chlorine removal. Chlorine will degrade the membrane and eventually ruin it. Cheers, Troy

Bottomless portafilter for Bezzera Z02s

Building a Portafilter Pressure Gauge
Thanks, $30 ish CAD at ColeParmer.ca for the gauge. Actually, I have yet to convince myself that dialing down my OPV from 13 bar to anything else is a good idea (or at least that it will make a difference to most of my shots). I am of the mind that a good shot will naturally create a
