Hello，

Has anyone tried to install Smart Espresso Profiler to a Vesuvius Evo Leva machine?

Would this be awkward given the body of the pressure transducer sticking out so long?
What is the an add-on for our piston pressure kits (you need the kit first to connect SEP) ?

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...

Hi,

I picked up a post mil Europiccola and have just one more repair, and I want to use it!

The sleeve in the group head is stuck, like really stuck.

I purchased a removal tool to ensure I do not tear it up trying to get it out. I am going to replace it with a brass one and I...

However, I find out that it sometimes is very difficult to attach the portafilter to a cooled machine, where...

I have been swapping steam arms between my machines basically only using the Stradivari arm since it is more adjustable. Ish. It's becoming annoying though and before I just buy a second Stradivari wand I thought why not just try bending the 3rd gen bayonet.
I have not done so...

Hi,
I have recently taken ownership of an old, mostly complete, first version (no light or thermostat) Bruni Brunella Lever machine.
The main parts missing/damaged are a double basket (only has single), the Bakelite handle (damaged) and the seals (leaking).
It seems...

Hi everyone.

My little microcasa a leva is driving me nuts in the past few weeks.

After adjusting the pressurestat a little to lower the max pressure to around .9 bar it seems like the heating now starts only at as little as .1-.2 bar.
That means it always cools down all...
