    Do you use the water filter/softener that came with the machine? I found the rattling was reduced also by having this attached to the hose.
  2. Lelit Forum
    My guess is that an external water tank won't work; The machine has a low water level alarm, which is probably activated by the magnetic sensor in the tank.

    i believe the VIP line bottomless is PLA580V and the wooden one is PLA580W. https://www.lamacchinadelcaffe.com/en/portafiltri-beccucci-lelit.html

    I have the wooden portafilter PLA582W, would be nice to have a matching steam knob

    1) puck sticking seems to depend on the basket size and volume of coffee. for me with the double basket, 16g would stick frequently, 18g very rarely. 2) for me the rattling stoped when i started using the filter they provide (PLA930S I think), the extra weight probably stops the hose moving...

    I think 31cm is the width. website gives 27cm as the depth (I think it's a little less), but this is excluding the portafilter handle. I changed my power lead to a "right angled kettle lead", so save a little space. I need 4cm for the lead, 30cm depth in total (i.e. from wall to front of tray)

    The power rating on that lead looks ok, but as a warning for others, when I was browsing amazon sometimes the "kettle lead" is in quotes. As in the fitting is a kettle lead but it only has the power rating for a computer monitor or similar, not an actual kettle (or coffee machine).

    I'm using the softener cartridge also. By water filler hole I assume you mean the hole at the top of the removable water tank. I would say it's a snug fit, but no force needed. I'm using the 35l version of this https://espresso.lelit.com/accessorygroup/5

    i guess thats the issue, its not a warning, its an alarm (to quote the manual). an easier way to check the water level, or a water level "warning" would be a nice to have.

    e.g. today, powered on machine, pulled an espresso shot. low water warning came on. didnt have sufficient steam for pitcher of milk.

    No, I'm based in Ireland (I've updated my profile). Was shipped with DHL express (tracked)
  13. Lelit Forum
    Yes, was V3 as you say. Quoted original post above (is V505a to be more specific).

    Thanks MRS, refilled (removed) the water tank this morning, seems ok again.

    Did my first clean with detergent (puly caff) at the weekend, so a backflush with water only, a bf with detergent and a bf with water again. followed by some throw away coffee. This week some how the pump sounds more 'rattly' (not sure if I'm imaging it. coffee is same as before). Any thoughts?
  16. Lelit Forum
    haaa! I got the 900g puly caff as well. But the manual says to back flush once a month with 3-5g of detergent, so I calculate I have 15-25 years supply! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    congrats. The tamper has to be a PLA481R. And while you're at it might as well get PL106, PLA301S, PLA3800 and the wooden handle portafilter PLA582W as well [emoji4] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    I had a basic grangaggia years ago, it had a transparent slot on the side so a quick glance showed you how much water was in the tank https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/zmIAAOSwAltfHeow/s-l1600.jpg Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    yes, but if I was planning to make a few lattes and the warning came on after pulling the first coffee, would i have enough to pull the rest and steam the milk? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    new elizabeth owner: agree with the comment on the tamper. also would be good it it was easier to check the water tank level, or ideally if on power up it indicated tank level (full, 3/4, etc. ) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
