    A standard 58mm will work, or you can go a precision 58.5mm for a snug fit. On I side note I highly recommend upgrading to a precision basket, and tamper. In my opinion it is one of the cheapest upgrades with noticeable improvement.

    I use a wemo on my Profitech pro 500 HX machine and it is great! It he remote access and IFTTT is an added benefit which I use consistently.

    I strongly believe in the hype, a VST made a huge difference to my shot quality. There was a noticeable difference in the consistency and taste with the added benefit of exposing poor prep when combined with a naked PF. I think a precision basket provides a cheap upgrade when compared with...

    Thanks for making those videos! The results reflect exactly what I found when testing grounds distributed using scrapers or just tamping the mound. It seems like this tool is a viable alternative for people using scrapers for distribution.

    I'm glad the adjustment worked out for the better, and it means I'm not going mad about not needing a massive cooling flush before use! I have also been quiet as I have just discovered ristretto shots and am loving them at the moment lol

    I have been playing a bit more with shot timing leaving all other variables consistent, and I am definitely leaning towards the shorter timings. I can see why people drink ristretto it does give a lovely sweet shot.

    My boiler pressure sits around the bottom of the green mark when using steam. If I am using a large jug it can fall below the green, but it has to be on for a fair amount of time. The froth seems fine. I am no milk texturing expert and latte art is not my strong point. On the VST I am running...

    Also I checked my boiler pressure. The element switches off at 1.2 bar and switches back on at 1 bar. So I am running a bit lower boiler pressure than your machine it seems

    This is the VST 22g in action. Still a little fast I am thinking.

    This is my kind of thread!!! Finally my latte art will be worthy of a photo [emoji85]

    That's great data! I don't have a temperature gauge so it is possible I am fluctuating a few degrees also as all my judgement is visual through the water leaving the group during flushes. I will work to get my hands on a gauge so we can compare results. From memory my pressure stat is set to a...

    Here is one of the explanations I was referring to. From what I have been told the PRO500 will run hot straight out of Italy however the Australian importers adjust the machine to run a lower temperature in the group more suited to our location, I assume by changing the restriction? I have seen...

    I look foreword to seeing the results as I am seeing lots of chatter about the setup in different geographical locations and varying results based on location. I will try and source a temp tester and see if I can run the same test in Australia.

    I will try and dig up an article I was reading which tried to explain why it doesn't super heat. I would try and explain it but I am confident I wouldn't get it right [emoji16] The 700 is a different beast, no matter how stable a HX is it's not close to PID stability.

    With the way I use my machine it is warmed for 30-40 min then I pour my shots, so I don't really leave it idle for hours. By habit I always drain some water before my first pour to flush the system but i have never seen it steaming and carrying on like other HX machines even on the rare...

    I have actually dropped my dose to 19 grams since the last post and am getting better results, so I may drop it a little more. As for the temperature stability I was speaking to the Australian imported and they adjust the machines to suit our conditions here, so I am not sure if that is why the...

    Hi otterolly My HX machine I use a timer to come on 30 min before I get up and it stays on for a few hours for the morning rush. If I need it in the day I turn it back on using a wemo switch so it always has at least 30min warm up.

    Awesome thanks, at the moment I am over 10 seconds so I need to make some adjustment to my prep [emoji106]

    Sorry I should have been clearer with my terminology, when I said dwell time I meant the time from the pump coming on to the fist drop falling into the cup.
  20. ECM / Profitec Forum
    That's good to hear about the VST I just ordered a couple [emoji5] I got a 18 and a 20g VST to couple with my naked to try some different combinations. How long is your dwell time on your pro 700?
