Rocket Cellini Plus PID making sounds when brew pressure ramping up

Thanks for the advice... the machine is 1 month old. I actually dont want to open it up at all. I dont want the vendor to use it as an excuse to void my warranty. I will give them a call and see what happens. I have also researched quite a bit online and noticed other rocket espresso

Rocket Cellini Plus PID making sounds when brew pressure ramping up

Thanks, so what should I do? Contact the vendor I bought this from and tell them of the issue, or try to open the box myself to check it out?

Is this a desired espresso undertone?

Hello guys, well I roasted this 1/2 lb bag on Saturday afternoon. Rwanda Rulinodo Bushoki {link} Didn't know what to expect. I kind of botched the roast, we went all the way to 2nd crack before I pressed "cool".. whoops. I went manual mode this time and the damn beans went first crack so much faster

Microfoam and Latte art pouring question

Ok thanks, ah a big question about the actual microfoam pouring... does the milk jug have a big factor in this? I tried the Espro V2, and I didn't like the result of the foam, or the pour. The spout was so sharp, I found that anything I poured on the crema just sank right to the bottom.

Been playing with E61 for a month. I need help :)

I see a lot of videos of people tamping only once and then pulling a shot with their non-naked portafilters, and that's ok.. cause you cant see ch...

I didn't mean you need a thermometer to achieve a stable temp throughout the shot. The thermometer is an indicator to show the EXACT brew temp at the brewhead. All other methods are just pure estimates at that variable, which we all try to achieve through cold flushing. That's what our forum resourc...
