Levering up - machine suggestions
Ok so this is my current setup: {link} (how do I add images?) I really don't want my next machine to be any smaller, fit less cups, look like a prototype or gadget, having the steam wand on the LH side would be a bonus but I'm willing to compromise. I may have

Replace my Rancilio Silvia?
I need some help with a "problem" I've got... I wonder if anyone have a recommendation when it comes to choosing an espresso machine to replace my Rancilio Silvia. I mostly drink V60 coffee, I have to admit, but occasionally I like an espresso-based coffee, so after some research I bought a Rancilio Silvia. It's mostly just me who drinks

Having to adjust grind more coarse
I don't say this is wrong; but as this advice is the exact opposite of what I've read for years, I wonder what it is based on. I haven't noticed any common factor regarding how beans change over time: it seems to differ with different beans. I make adjustments by trial-and-error

Most reliable brand of espresso machines?
I agree with the above, especially the italicized statement. I really appreciate the internal layout of both the ECM Synch and the Profitec 700, so much easier to work on than most other machines

Ditting burrs 804 v. 1203, Cast v. Fully Machined
Just to button this up. SSP will regrind for $350 which I might do in the future. I got some NOS ditting machined burrs from 2014 which I broke in with 10lbs of regular rice (not preboiled/rapid, etc.) The grinder didn't even blink although the rice heated up some. The motor on it is the strongest motor you can get

Sette 270 suddenly drifting
After about a year my Sette needed another shim to bring it back in range for a correct grind. 1 shim - grind @ 2-3; added 2nd shim brought it back to 9-10 if I recall correctly

La Pavoni Europiccola stainless piston sleeve.
I can't recommend this modification enough. It's a major upgrade to any post-millenium La Pavoni imo. I've just finished a 2001 LPP rebuild and have opted for Coffee-sensor's stainless sleeve. Not only is the craftsmanship outstanding but the results in the cup have improved by a margin compared to my pre-millenium LP. Most noticeably when pulling straight espresso, light
