    yep, careful sanding, rust treatment, and painted before wrapping. The wrapping is just slow and fiddly in that area, not really any trick to it, just do it really slowly and carefully. Under the drop tray is not neat though ๐Ÿ˜Š

    That's a v2 probably 13-15 years old. It looks in pretty good state, but look out for signs of rust and hopefully it hasn't got any limescale the only meaningful difference between this and a new one is the steam wand that is easily replaceable. And that this one has a element attached to the...

    @ChilledMatt There is an alternative, i was recently introduced to.. be prepared... it's not cheaper or easier, or even easy to get hold of... But it appears to be a mod on a completely different level The ITO mod is not just a PID, its a pid + pressure profiling and gravimetric shot...

    he has a policy that he wont review anything that he receives in a way that a consumer cant, so he wasn't able to try and get anything through a backchannel or anything. I believe some manufacturers have sent him items in the hope of getting publicity to be then told that disqualifies them...

    I would like to row back on some of my comments from earlier... after swapping my rocky out for a niche... I have noticed 18.6g of coffee in an 18g basket no longer touch the screw head. Honestly I am pretty shocked that the grinds compress so much more, but I can now lock in the basket and...

    my chrome one looks perfect after 14 years... the black will probably last even longer

    ok, i am loving my new one, but I'll undercut this to 1800 if anyone really wants a white one!! (this is a joke btw... I do wonder if they will get some pretty high offers though, I haven't seen any go for more than 500 yet right?)

    at least with the pro theres more space in that chassis to fit more crazy mod's I wonder if i can fit a rtx3090 in there and just turn it into a gaming computer/espresso machine. In order to steam milk you would need to play microsoft flight simulator 2020 for a few minutes to get it up to full...

    well saying that I could buy 2 silvia's and the most expensive pid for the same price it's a pretty odd choice for anyone.

    I dismantled my silvia to try and find a mystery leak, it was weeks later I realised this was happening. The shallow access under the grouphead might be fixed as the pictures show its a fair bit taller but i wouldn't be surprised if lots of these issues are present, you can see from the...

    they just posted on instagram ๐Ÿ˜ƒ So I think they are running quite pessimistic delivery dates to manage expectations, (still hitting refresh constantly looking for that shipping notification)
