The factory-supplied gauge bracket faces my gut when pulling a shot, so it is relatively useless.

I am aware of gauge brackets by these individuals/companies that all aim to mount the gauge near the top of the machine:

The bracket I am offering:

Do you fully dry the basket between shots?
I am just wondering if a wet basket could affect puck preparation

I am coming from the perspective of a Robot owner, but I guess this is a generic question

Thanks

Hoping to learn more about this machine as used in the US. Clearly it's gorgeous, and can make amazing espresso. Wondering how it achieves temp stability in the group. The website says just walk up and pull a shot no temp management needed. How does that work - surely it is an...

I'm just entering the world of spring lever machines, and haven't found any clear definition of the three types: Dipper, Thermosiphon and saturated (are there others?)

I've searched the forums but search doesn't return anything related to defining these types.

I have a new Profitec 800 Pro lever espresso machine, live at 4,600 FT elevation, and experiencing extraction issues. It appears to be related to heat, but would love your opinion here. I'm getting very elongated, foamy extractions, with hissing and bubbles.

Been a long time in the pipeline but the ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva has finally become a reality. Took delivery of two today. The other is for my son.

Very impressed with the production quality. Design is clean and appealing. Dual boiler, PID control on both brew and service...

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting here after doing a lot of lurking. I got into espresso just over a year ago with a Delonghi Dedica EC685 and my fall into the rabbit hole began. I quickly upgraded to a Rancilio Silvia V6 and a Eureka Mignon grinder and the tinkering...

Hello everyone, at home I have some some coffee machines: Faema Faemina, LP Europiccola, LP Professional, Elektra Microcasa, Cafelat Robot and Faemina Baby (incomplete). But I want another machine, I want an open boiler one. I know there is the Caravel but it has the volume...

Met up with Ross last week here in CO and got a chance to pull a couple shots with one of his units. He mentioned after CNY concludes he should be able to get enough parts shipped over to build up a few machines for sending out to reviewers. Having had an opportunity to meet...

This evening Paul Pratt announced on Kickstarter that 50 Robots have shipped and that 15 more are being shipped every day. It's time to open a User Experience thread so we can learn from each other. This is also the thread for initial comments on the Cafelat Robot Review that we...
