A touch of tiger striping perhaps?

Does the 95.8 correspond to a cooler temp at basket do you think? I'm not familiar with the machine or whether you flush/ preheat.

I want to drink it.

La Peppina has La Marzocco like intra shot temp stability.
Check this video here:

The Peppina from the video is PIDed (mine isn't) but still, is this a lever group or saturated?!

I'm waiting on a new portafilter probe to measure more precisely the correlation between my probe thermometer and the extraction temperature.

I sometimes flush, sometimes don't. The machine was on for a while so everything was toasty when I pulled the shot. And yes, it was delicious!

Thanks Chris!

I kind a butchered it a bit but it works

I apply dow111 to the exposed material regularly for the drip or two that touches the raw Zamac (or aluminum).

I was introduced to levers when researching my first machine. Ended up buying a BDB, but after a year of enjoying all the bleeding edge profiling ability I realized I was pulling... well lever profile-esque shots most of the time.

I purchased a second hand MCAL from a home-barista forum member , ended up selling the BDB and have another shiny new lever on order because no one can eat...err own just one.

What shiny new lever did you purchase?

Hi, there is nothing better than a lever, ever

For the past 3 years i have been using my 2018' europiccola and 2 month ago a cafelat robot and a restored Elektra Mcal have also joined the family. Also in the pic you can see my 3 manual grinders- lido e, jx pro and je plus.
Glad to be here

Nice lever family! I see that you have an unusual sightglass setup on your Elektra. Can you show us a close-up?

Oh that is just a black electrical tape as a temporary fix while i wait for the delivery of the retaining clip tool i have just bought.
P.s - i also have a classic flair that was out of that pic

Just joined the ranks! Got a black PV Export, going through the learning curve and loving it so far.
