Quickmill Vetrano 2B EVO poor steam pressure

I guess I could install the knob assembly again. Initially I requested the joysticks, but it came with knobs. They shipped them to me when they were back in stock. As for the probe, I just had the whole machine descaled, including the probe (I assume, since I haven't actually inspected their work al...

Quickmill Vetrano 2B EVO poor steam pressure

I have a Vetrano 2b, and have been using the 4 hole stock tip that came with the machine since 2017. I've noticed a drop in steam pressure which makes prepping the milk take longer than making 2 espressos. Pressure doesn't drop out of the green zone. I've read another thread which recommended the IZ...

How important is HX E61 group temperature, in reality?

I am glad I got a DB more than ever after reading this post. I went with the Quickmill Vetrano 2B Evo, and I believe the newest versions have profiling availability

Better and worse workflow in single-dosing grinders - what does it mean?

I'm using a Compak E5 and have been for the last 6 years. Just had my first set of burrs replaced. Only espresso and lattes, no other coffee types and very simple workflow. Pour beans>weigh beans>grind beans>extract. The only issues I've had came from the dulling of the burrs which made wildly diffe...

Black and White Classic help

Tried letting the ground coffee sit for a little bit before extracting. Made it worse. Now 18gms runs thru in 13 seconds. I think one of 2 things has happened here, either this is just a bad batch, which I've had happen with other roasters, or this coffee just isn't going to work with my setup. I'll...

Black and White Classic help

Roasting date 11-17-22, no bottomless portafilter, pucks are currently very wet compared to the Doma coffees I was previously using, no obvious channeling noted upon exam after extraction. As for freezing, all my coffees stay in the freezer and that's been my MO for the last 5 years, so I'm accustom...

Black and White Classic help

Thanks everyone, they're fresh, and frozen, so they'll probably take time to age. I'm used to a coffee subscription so I was always using the bag before, and waiting on the newest delivery, but switched when Doma increased their per bag charges. So BW was just delivered. The coffee per their help em...

Black and White Classic help

Problem, fast extraction, watery and thin taste. I'm using 2-CUP 58 mm 14-18 g 70x24.5 mm basket, stock for the Quickmill Vetrano and Compak E5 grinder with Orphan Espresso single dosing collar, and when previously using Doma Carmelas, had been doing 18gms, 200f brew temp, first coffee into cup 7-8 ...
