    Good luck! I heard that there was a problem with early models of Grace/Victoria but the only way to update the behaviour was to buy a new LCC module. Maybe someone figures out how to hack them :D

    I see@hotCUPPA. It would be nice to have an unlimited budget! If I was starting again (on budget) I'd focus on grinder first. Getting Niche completely changed the game.

    @hotCUPPA my main complain about the machine is not seeing the live temperature. It gives live reading when it heats up but then it just flashes as it stabilises at the set temperature. I don't care it surfs a bit, I just want to know the real temp - especially if I'm making 2 shots after each...

    yes its 3 seconds - probably artificially limiting so they can make the Victoria/Mara/Bianca stand out more. I use the steam knob to extend the time to anything I like and apply the pressure gradually.

    @antinwales I followed a random video I found for Victoria. I would want to have a longer screwdriver for it but what I had was ok. video

    I have done this recently with my Grace and its not too difficult. The worst thing is that they apply a bit of a glue at the valve so you need some heat (I used a lighter but a blowtorch is better) to turn the OPV. The taste is a lot better (added body and sweetness) and there is definitely less...

    I've heard there is about 1 bar difference between the valve and the basket. My machine sits on 10.5 bars when extracting so I expect 9.5 in the basket. I'm quite happy with it (especially after upgrading my grinder to Niche). I also use IMS shower screen together with stock screen.

    The pre-infusion is done by 3 second soaking without applying pressure (Grace bought summer 2020). I sometimes extend this manually by opening the steam knob to lower the pressure and closing slowly to apply the pressure gradually. It's basically pressure profiling allowed by single boiler...

    I found that there is always something that fits but its definitely more restricted. Ascaso filter baskets do; Baristator tamper fits with them (with 0.08mm gap!). I guess the price for saving a bit of money is that you have to look around a lot more.
