Mine is good to go in 10-15 mins. 230v machine though. 110v will be longer im guessing

What a beaut. I'd love to get the walnut bits for my ss LM one day, although the acai scale and matching drip tray are higher up on my wish list. This thread has got me wondering now. If I had to pay 1.7k more for the LM over the ECM or rocket, would I? I

Fair enough. If it meant any decrease in steaming power then I wouldn't want it but from what you guys are saying that is no longer the case anyway

LMLM puts out considerably less heat than an e61 head and I haven't found that it is affected by ambient temps

Great point. TBH I didn't want to like the LM. Its super expensive and in pictures looks a little silly imo. I almost didn't even give it a try. However I was determined to try everything that I could get my hands on so I thought I'd give it a crack (except the GS3, by far the most expensive home

If something fails on an e61 machine I have a dozen shops that are a phone call away with parts on hand. The recent replies on this thread really make me stand by my original comments. I'll take a e61 hx over the bdb any day. The la scala is 8 years old now (bought second hand and still in

FYI I have recently bought a LMLM and also found that my grinder is suddenly not up to it, especially with light roasts. Im thinking of getting a v2 pharos and mini e for it

Do any of you have your LMLM plumbed in? My changes in pressure settings has had the same results as you and I am running off the internal reservoir. I wonder if mains pressure onto the brew circuit would affect the quantity/quality of preinfusion compared to tank supply? Cheers
