    Hi all, As per title, I have a Giotto, plumbed in to a 3M filter. Been that way for a number of years, filter's changed every couple of years but the machine has not been descaled in that time. It has been regularly cleaned with Cafiza and lubed with Molycote. I've checked the mushroom and...

    Hi All, My typical go to beans are from Rave. I tend to buy 2kg every couple of months. Previous order cost for 2kg was £31, the one before that was £30. Latest order from yesterday was nearly £37 ?! Same beans. I'm not saying that this represents bad value for money but has the price of...

    Evening all. Recently bought a Silvia and Rocky combo, so far so good. One thing I've read in my (exhaustive) research before buying was boiler and group head insulation. I tend to leave it on all day as I often work from home. I know you can buy the kit from PIDSilvia but it's pricey and was...

    I've had the 3M scalegard system since the end of Feb this year. I took the mushroom off today when I was giving the machine a clean / lube and found this. Now, call me old fashioned but I thought the 3M system was designed to stop scale ? This is on a machine that was descaled by me 1st March...

    Morning all, Have just plumbed in my Giotto evo 2, 3M scalegard pro and it's doing weird things. Normally it takes around 30 mins to get up to temp and give that "fizz" on the group head. But since plumbing in yesterday, it doesn't feel like it's getting to working temp, even after being on...

    Hi all, 3M Scaleguard P195BN-E system installed, all brand new kit from what appears to be a reputable dealer. Do these filters take a while to bed in and get going ? Not sure what TDS to expect and right now, it's looking like from my TDS meter it's sitting around 250ppm at 25deg C which...
  7. 😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍
    Recently upgraded my set up. Have had the grinder since March, bought 2nd hand on this forum and have had the Giotto since last weekend, also bought 2nd hand on here. Previously had a PID'd Silvia and Rocky which served me well for a couple of years. Rocky has gone, Silvia will be sold once I...

    ...when switching on from cold for it to heat up and just as it's reaching what you can hear is boiling point, vent off steam for a second or two through the top of the machine (looks like it's coming out by the cup warmer) ? Happens once, sometimes twice but it's only when switched on from...

  9. Eureka Grinders
    ... take the front off a 65e to get behind the blue screen ? Gave it a clean over the weekend with a good blowout with the hoover (in reverse) and frustratingly somehow some grinds found there way behind the illuminated screen which looks crap and is annoying me when I use it. Or is there a...

    Rancilio Rocky non doser for sale 2 and a bit years old, serial number plate states 1012 but I bought it from my espresso in Feb 2013. I'm a kg a month kind of guy, maybe slightly less and some beans have been through the Hario hand grinder at work so I'd guess at 20kgs since new. Treated with...

  11. Coffee Beans
    So I'm sat here, loving my cappa. The same could not be said for 5 days ago. Same cappa, lovingly made the same way but I'd run out of the last batch of beans and was on to my new bag and it tasted, well, weird. Couldn't put my finger on it but it just wasn't right. The beans smelt odd too as I...

    I like the look of these and like the plain white (I know some prefer more colourful cups but the white fits the decor and SWMBO's requirements lol!) but the price is putting me (her) off. Only want a couple of 8oz. Where is best to buy them right now ? Online sources seem limited to Amazon...

    So I treated myself to a new naked PF and so far it has been fantastic. I don't know if I am more conscious about dose and distribution, if the beans I have have hit a sweet spot in terms of age or it's a combo of these and other unknown factors or if it's because of the new PF but the shots...

    Afternoon all, Anybody seen or heard of anyone modifying the frame on their Silvia to accommodate a bigger drip tray ? Not that I want to cut up my (relatively) new Silvia but the drip tray size is a constant annoyance. Thoughts ?
