Thanks everyone for great tips n your experience with this issue. I've been so busy haven't had time to look further into this. For now I just have to get my coffee fix somewhere else

The vacuum breaker on my linea failed and I contacted the repair shop on it. They estimated 2hrs labor plus $70 part. According to Lamarzocco this is an annual maintenance task so I'm looking at almost $300/yr just for this. Is $300 a typically cost to replace this item? Im thinking of doing it myse...

why does the bag say for use in costa express machine only?

what about your extraction time?

i had it today. i can tell it is smoother and more sweet than their regular roast even though the drink was a white mocha

got me a customized wooden levtamp {image}

im a beginner as well and i went with linea mini. i find it to be super easy to use and the steaming power is awesome. i can make 4 drinks (latte) back to back without any issues. i havent had the need to make more than 4 drinks so i dont know how well it handles. good luck

im using it and for milk drinks only. i have yet to produce the flavor they describe. im going to give them another chance (5lbs on their way). a

no experience on any of the grinders but i jist bought the 37J. I like its simplicity

i went with the ceado 37j. mini version. crossing my fingers!!!
