I've got my La Pavoni EP Lusso a couple of weeks ago and I managed to get drinkable espresso after few days(and one 250g bag of coffee) and good ones only few days ago. I have a post millenium machine with a 51mm basket.
For those interested in the details of my recipe it is...
I got my robot roughly a week ago and am struggling to pull decent shots. I've tried 16-19g. With WDT. I usually start with pre-infusion, then go to 6-8bar of pressure.

The Olympia Cremina is my grail home espresso machine but I have not yet pulled the trigger. I use a Kafatek MC4 and a Cafelat Robot. I've been happy with this setup for years. I prefer manual simplicity but I also love milk drinks, which the Robot doesn't do and the Cremina...
