Hmm...looks close enough. I'm not very knowledgeable in terms of wattage and voltage though. The standard one is 110v and 800watts...I have no idea if its safe to deviate on the voltage. I think it is for the wattage so long as it isn't too far off

What basket are you using? Nothing but repeatable shots here too

You too have Pantechnicon's mod. I'd recommend the same with this particular mod, it's a bad design. I can only recommend La Marzocco's own drip tray for this, as it provides a lot more clearance for water to run freely and has plenty of gaps allowing water to escape. {image} {image}

Couldn't agree more. The price for an exceptional grinder has truly gone down over the past few years with the large number of new overseas competitors. However, seems like machines have just not had the same trend - or maybe even become more expensive (but with increasingly more features)

If you have the old model without the auto purge at the end, there may be grounds stuck inside that are being cycled with each grind Check the lance Hedrick video

Now that is a new one to me. At least there's the choice of ownership here, but still, quite an interesting approach. However we still haven't seen much on the roasting itself. Source: {link}

Thanks, Shawn

My guess is that it's not so much splashing. I think the way the Lunar is constructed from 2 metal shells, the gap between them means the capillary effect enables water to creep up through the sides if you leave it in just a little bit of water. I would strongly recommend taking the scale out regularly or flushing into

Hi Jim, Thank you for sharing, but that's because you're using Pantechnicons mod. It doesn't allow water to run as freely around the Lunar as it does with La Marzocco's drip tray grate, the Lunar sits in it too tight, you have coffee residue (not rust) getting inside and drying/accumulating on vital parts. The coffee residue won't harm the
