  1. ECM / Profitec Forum
    I bought a second hand Ecm Barista. It's my first e61 machine and I have some wonderings about it. The machine is in new condition, the previous owner only used it 5 times and then it was in storage for a year. - When I first turned on the machine it took over 1 hour to reach 1.0 boiler...

    I bought a tube of 100g Molykote from Dow Corning. I assumed this was food grade but question if it really is since no where on the tube or the original box does it state it's food grade? Should it not have NSF written somewhere? This was not cheap so I hope i have the right stuff.

    I wonder how many gram you can get out with a single pull from the following levers? Olympia Cremina La Pavoni Europiccola Ponte Vecchio Lusso Ponte Vecchio Export Arrarex Caravel Also are there any levers with 58mm under 1000 Euro. I believe the mini gaggia has 58 mm, any others? Thanks.

    I am about to install the Auber shot timer to my Silvia V3. Removing the back cover i'm thinking the pump looks twisted but maybe it should be like this? My first reaction was to grab it and straighten it up. On the left side it almost looks like its hanging on one of the screws. Does this look...

    Anyone know where the label is located on the ECM Giotto? The label with serial no and year. I'm asking a seller questions and he says it does't have a label. Is it maybe under the drip tray?
  8. Expobar Forum
    I'm interested in this machine listed on ebay: http://www.ebay.es/itm/Cafetera-expobar-office-leva-eb-61-1-gr-/161892836418?hash=item25b190a442:g:7ssAAOSw~bFWJT4b But it bothers me that it doesn't say "Expobar" on the logo and instead it says "Stracto". Makes me believe this is a capsule or pod...

    Are you supposed to change the group gasket regularly? Or is it OK to only change if there is a leakage or problem? I have a Silvia V3 and had it already many years and never changed the gasket. I don't have any problems just wondering if I should change it more often. On ebay I can see two...
  10. Brewed Coffee โ˜•
    I gave up brewing on the Kalita Wave a while back but thought I'll give it another go now. I read that the grind size should be little finer than drip coffee, but this doesn't really help me. If anyone with a Mazzer Major could tell me how many notches from espresso grind courser it should be...

    I bought a second hand Mazzer Major and I am in the middle of cleaning it out. All the doser parts are now clean, except the one in the picture. I am hesitating how to clean this since it has some grease. If I clean this with soap and water and then drop it in Cafiza, would I need to re grease...

    Does the Synesso ridgeless 14g and 18 g baskets fit a Rancilio Silvia V3 portafilter? And do the VST 15 and 18 g ridgeless baskets fit Silvia portafilter? Anyone know where I can buy the Synesso baskets online inside Europe? Searched like crazy but cannot find anyone selling these.

    I drink my coffee from a small 2-cup Bialetti Brikka. I've been experimenting a lot with different amount of coffe, water levels and heating. Now it's time to try different grind setting. I read here and there that the grind should be somewhere between espresso and drip. Not sure exactly where...
