Do you have a scale? If not pickup the AWS scale on amazon for $16. Espresso is all about controlling the variables. With your scale weigh out 20g of beans and grind them up.

Not sure what baskets clive provides with the Lucca. But out of curiosity if they are the QM baskets, does anyone else have a hell of a time getting them out of the non-bottomless PFs? Because I sure am with my vetrano

Not certain, but i would guess you would strip the screw before you did any damage to the portafilter holder. These things are built like little brick sh*t houses

Just tried. I can pull upward on the holder enough to start lifting the edge of the grinder off the counter and it still doesn't budge

Is that with the side screws fastened? Mine does not have any play once it is tighted up

I didn't compress the button when I adjusted the fork. Kept the PF as far out so that the back lip of the basket was still catching the edge on the upper fork. Give that a try and see if you have better luck

That is a beautiful setup

Do you think the challenge is because you are switching between portafilters? I have no issues with mine but I am not switching between spouted and bottomless When i first got my k30 i put the PF in the fork with the screws loose and lifting till it was snug, but not tight and then fastened the screws

That is a bummer, but props to you for emailing them in both English and German
