And just when you thought it was safe .... Today my GS3-AV updated from Gateway Version v3.3-RC5 to v3.3-RC7. All seems fine, as before. No issues with the update process (as always). I think this update (the Gateway) is the same applied to the Mini and the Micro

La Marzocco Linea Mini Gateway Update V3.3-RC5

I applied this update without any issues on Saturday, Jan 13th on my GS3-AV. I have no idea what the update did, as I can see no difference in functionality. I agree with Peter41 that it would be nice (and good customer relations) if La Marzocco would post a description of what an update does for

La Marzocco Micra/Mini/GS3 App firmware and gateway updates

In addition to the above post (which is the good way to proceed): I notice the charge on the battery of your smart phone is about dead.

La Marzocco Micra/Mini/GS3 App firmware and gateway updates

WiFi is required to occasionally update firmware on the machine (direct connection to the internet to Marzocco Italy). The La Marzocco IoT Team in Italy fix...

Gasket stuck in grouphead, without shower screen in place

Marzocco makes a gasket pick that works well. It's called a gasket pick, and looks a bit like a dental pick - it has a hook on the end that can be maneuvered to get under the gasket, then pull it out. It's $20 US. Looks like a generic tool, not limited to Marzocco products. La
