    Let it heat up with portafilter in place for 45 minutes or so. Start at 99 deg C, then work upwards in 1 deg steps until 104 deg C with 20 minutes per step to stabilize. I've created a YouTube account and have tried to put together a video to show the results. Please be aware that a) the video...

    I seem to have the same issue as matomoto with regards to the offset being wrong, though I unfortunately don't have any measurements... When I tried to find the boiling point at my shower screen, (used a guideline I found on hb which in turn was based on instructions from Dave for the Izzo Alex...

    Changed the steam tip today (gave up and went for smaller holes) and finally produced something that I can share here without embarrassing myself.

    In the hopper or on the cup?

    Thanks! Was afraid I was falling behind the vanguard of Nichery after watching this: Do you use some sort of anti-popcorn inner lid in that video?

    Easy to clean, easy to spot mistakes, sexy!

    Are you currently using a chopstick or have you gone back to shaking, Dave?

    I've been wondering if a steeper angle for the throat would have reduced popcorning. Alternatively some item to be placed on top of the beans to improve feeding into the burrs. Anyway, can't say that I'm too bothered by this - really enjoying mine.

    Now that people are settling on routines: how often do you take the grinder apart and brush it out?
  10. Lelit Forum
    Well I can see the attraction of having hands-free, repeatable profiles from a machine like the Vesuvius or a DE1, but with the Bianca - at least for the moment - it does feel a lot like being a child playing with a new toy. Also great to change shots on the fly in case flow's different than...

    Different topic: do others get that same feeling of giddiness and joy out of fooling around with the machine and having it pan out nicely? I had an 18 g in, 110 g out shot of Kenyan at 2 bar over 2 minutes earlier today and just knowing that that kind of beverage can be made with an espresso...

    Just had to double check the spare one, but I only have two different two hole nozzles. Are there different versions of the Bianca?
  13. Lelit Forum
    Oh well, didn't get around googling "DE1 steaming" then.
  14. Lelit Forum
    Why's that?

    I kept blowing milk out of my smaller pitchers on 130 degrees, so backed it off a bit (125 at first, now 126). That helped and the microfoam is quite amazing compared to my previous machines. Which temperature for the steam boiler are you other Bianca owners using?

    Ooh, the suspense is killing me.

    Regarding level distribution out of the cup: I've had great results with a combination of vertical taps and horizontal shakes. The latter feel a bit awkward, but seem to do it for me.

    Maybe we can do it another way: what is Gail doing wrong? http://
  19. Machine known faults & fixes - How To
    Oh well... I'm glad you took the time to review both the Bianca and the Niche - doubt that I will be in the market for anything before either breaks down terminally.

    What about backflushing without cleaner? I've read now that some do it after every shot, daily, weekly or never. Do you see any point in that?
