    Do any decent coffee shops in the big smoke use Lacto free milk? If not, why not? My other half is lactose intolerant. Although Soya milk seems to be everywhere - does anywhere use Lactofree? (Like the rest of us she enjoys a good flat white when she's out and about. Cost wise it's the same...

    Hi All, With respect to the Elvinator mod for mazzers: https://www.flickr.com/photos/elvin/sets/72157605144154794/ http://bigeyelaboratory.com/publicDOCS/mazzerModButterFly_elvin.pdf What material have people found to be the best and how do you get from the template to the material? Is it...

    Recently I've noticed that any coffees that I make that I top up with hot water from the hot water arm taste a bit like bad socks... This seems to be a result of the taste of the water coming out of the boiler. Which got me thinking - the water in the boiler - does it not just get heated over...

    Anyone tried this? My naked is with a mate the wrong end of the country & I'm wondering if I should get him to bring it down at some stage? Not sure if it will fit.....they take the same VST baskets after all - but I guess it comes down to the external dimensions and the lugs. ..... I guess by...

    A basic question. I've a 15g basket and an 17g basket. If I put 15g of same grind coffee in both, should I expect the same result in the cup (or is their a water on top of puck due to extra space problem)?

    This may sound a silly question ... But to make a single flat white how much milk do people add to their milk jug? To put this in perspective I've recently upgraded to a rocket. I've previously succeeded (to an extent) with my latte art with both a mod'd gaggia and a pavoni - but I'm really...

    For sale is my shiny shiny peacock - £220 (pref London pickup, otherwise we'll sort out postage costs via pm - note i currently dont have any packaging so could take a bit of time to get this sorted). ...I also need to note that @Dunerunner should be allowed first refusal due to discussion in...

    ... I now have a temp strip attached to the grouphead and a new pressure gauge mounted on my 49mm single switch ep-8. What sort of pressure and external group head temps should i be looking for? ive noted that my boiler pressure seems to bounce between 0.7-0.75. After the light goes out the...

    My MC2 grinder is up for grabs due to a bout of upgradeitis! Just over 18months old, been used for ~1 espresso a day (7g). Beautiful little runner. Great when paired with a gaggia classic. (Still trying to figure out whether my upgrade makes sense!). £90 c.o.d. Pickup from arsenal/Finsbury...

    £20 + postage (unless you're near London bridge or Highbury) Had been on a Mini, but I think it will also fit a Super Jolly. Exterior base diameter measures 56mm using my dodgy tape measure.

    Anyone know the thread size at the top of the water column? I have a Millenium version. Short of importing from orphan espresso in the states, has anyone figured it out this side of the pond? Also, with the ongoing battle to understand temperature, does anyone know an alternative source of...

    ...just noticed this morning that my la Pav looks a little twisted. Not sure how ive managed this. Is there a screw somewhere that can be untightened so that the portafilter aligns over the centre of the drip tray again? (currently i have to put my cup over to the left a bit).

    ... Has anyone with experience successfully paired an Iberital MC2 and got good shots? Seems like grind is quite important. Couple of other things: 1) Dose weight- 14g seems to be a struggle. Is this realistically a 11-12g dose (in the dbl basket)? 2) presumably the normal brew ratios still...

    Anyone seen a good guide or got any tips on weekly/monthly cleaning regimes? Do these things require backflushing like Gaggia classics?

    Hi all, Recently delved into the OCD world of Espresso perfectionism. I note that Caffeine plus OCD is a naturally problematic relationship... My Sicilian g/f already thinks I'm totally nuts... After many years of drinking Illy in my Classic I decided to 'man up' and do what everyone strongly...

    Hi All, Does anyone know if a 41mm tamper will fit the VST 7g single basket? The website below states the following: 40.7-40.9mm http://store.vstapps.com/products/vst-precision-filter-baskets So my reading comprehension generally says no....but has anyone actually tried a 41mm....or can...
