  1. Machine known faults & fixes - How To
    Nice and simple routine. How about the dispersion screw or whatever it's called, is it worth taking it out and clean behind?
  2. New Members Section
    I had both the Lusso and Pavoni. The Lusso is a spring lever and Pavoni is manual. Lusso has 45mm group while Pavoni has 49 or 51mm group. Lusso's grouphead is very temp stable thanks to thermoshipon while Pavoni overheats easily. I like the shots better from the Lusso but would still recommend...

    Shots looks very nice. How is cleanup? Do the arms stay up or do you need to hold them when inserting the basket?
  4. All Grinders & Hand-Grinders
    How much do these go for 2nd hand?
  5. Niche
    Is it better in the cup than a Mazzer Major?
  6. Coffee Accessories
    Is this the same as the Vidastech thermometer, looks very similar? Does it protrude the same, more or less?
  7. ECM / Profitec Forum
    Thank you, yes I did flush a lot at startup, following the manual. When you do the flushes after warmup, do you pay attention to the flash boiling or do you just flush a fixed amount like your espresso cup full of water each time? I do get water out from the central position(not plumbed in)...

    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...
  9. Niche
    I'm already convinced about the ease of use with Niche and more interested in the taste. I'm tempted to buy this grinder but hesitate because of absence of fork. I removed the fork from my Major and have been grinding into a cup for a while and I don't like it but if I could see some photos of...

    Has anyone compared the Niche vs a Mazzer Major? Would be interested to know how it compares taste wise. Also could we please see some photos of the fluffy grind.

    Yes, I have also always heard this one recommended but don't get it why the tube doesn't state it's food grade. The seller is Amazon I doubt they know but I will try to email molykote instead. Thanks for the links!
  12. Coffee Lounge โ˜ฎโค
    Thanks but should it not be stated on the tube that it is food grade or have a NSF stamp? I'm confused. Look at the below 2 versions. Mine is the one without NSF stamped.

    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.
  14. Mazzer Grinders
    Would the SJ back plate fit a Mazzer Major?
  15. Sold
    Ok too bad, looks nicer than the octopus thingy.
  16. Sold
    What kind of funnel is that?
  17. Barista Skills for the home enthusiast
    Why not stir whilst in the PF?
  18. Lever Forum ๐Ÿ’ช
    I did not find a link for my 1974 model but I just followed the instructions for similar model here: http://www.francescoceccarelli.eu/La_Pavoni/Faidate/gruppo_eng.htm The grouphead on my Pavoni is not bolted like the one in the link but otherwise I followed the instructions in the link. I did...

    Sorry I meant the portafilter you linked to. It's for the newer version, at least it says so in the Q&A in the bottom of the page.
  20. Coffee Accessories
    Thanks, that one looks really nice but seems its for the Millenium version with 52 mm. Yes my stock portafilter is missing the spring clip so that would be nice. Which machine did you buy this for and is it a good fit? I see the bottom of the filter basket is not flush with the frame, does it...
