Just saw this on the bay. What a beautiful piece. How's this price? Shipping looks pretty steep to the US. Maybe better in EU.

I did a trade with a friend and ended up with this lovely 1 group Conti. I think our friend Pascal passed on this machine before.

New LM GS3 MP (less than a week).

At first, steam was too powerful if anything. I even reduced boiler from 262.4 F to 261 to get the bars down to about 1.5 vs 1.65.

Sake cups for espresso
by CwD » Oct 17, 2017, 5:24 pm » in Knockbox

I was looking for more short, but still wide, cups for using with my CT-1. I'd been using the cups, but they're still a tad tall and hard to see a shot developing with the 18g basket. But they're the shortest cups on the market.

I've been using my Breville 920XL for nearly a year and seem to have tamping, grinding, and shots down.

What would an upgrade from a Mahlgut look like. . . I know some obvious answers are Monolith, EG1, HG-1 (?) but what are some less obvious ones?

Thanks,
