Hello,

I finally got my Vesuvius recently. Absolutely love it. The first shot I pull was great. Now it is just a matter of tuning in. Questions:

Tamper: the goal is to get a tamper that fits in the basket perfectly:
The included tamper seems to have a reasonable, but not...

I was descaling my Europiccola... rinsing it with fresh water, and when I tipped i heard a funny clang. The copper pipe is detached.

My 81 Cremina that I rebuilt a few years ago is going strong. I plan to service the machine like I do every year around this time.
I had this idea of wrapping the boiler with some left over exhaust header wrap made with pulverized lava rock in the woven cloth to keep heat in. I...

I was adjusting the pressurestat on my 2019 Professional and noticed a burnt terminal cover (see photo) on a post for the heating element. The machine seems to work fine. Is this a concern? When I purchased the machine I did have to rest the thermostat on the S/S...
