    Thank you Dave
  2. Rocket Forum 🚀
    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...
  3. Coffee Accessories
    I just bought and installed a Coffee Sensor thermometer and it's really helped. Main improvement is that I'm now aware that I was flushing too much. Flushing less (i.e. the right amount) has improved the taste of my coffee noticeably so it's a thumbs up from me.

    What he said lol! Rave is my go to but want to try something new. Could someone share the code please - many thanks in advance
  5. Coffee Beans
    I've always maintained that I think Rave produce (IMHO) great beans at great prices (even post increase) and yes no doubt I would end up paying more elsewhere - completely misses the point of my question. I was just asking this very well informed and well connected community if something...
  6. Coffee Beans
    Like I said, I'm not saying this is not good value for money but it's a 20% increase, seemingly out of nowhere. What I'm asking is has the price of green beans changed, maybe due to supply issues, or have Rave changed commercially, like they have new owners that want to make more money or...
  7. Coffee Beans
    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...

    As a fellow 65e owner, I'm surprised that you get anywhere enough ground coffee in that time and at that setting (acknowledging that machines will vary and also depends on bean). Mine is set to about 11.5secs on 2.5 grind setting (Rave Chatwood blend) and I'm getting approx 19g into an 18g VST...

    As per RobW, VST 18g ridgeless. I went for an IMS screen and a silicon seal as well. You may need to re-calibrate grind to get your shot timings back as I found they effected things when I changed them.
  10. Eureka Grinders
    Same - some beans are better/worse than others. I find it's a case of adjusting the grind first and then adjusting the timing of the grind after. That said, if/when the grind needs to change to accommodate change of temp/humidity/bean age, the timing's off again so I usually always go short on...

    short and catchy is a rubbish name for a coffee shop...

    I have a 3M P195BN-E Scaleguard filter plumbed in with a PRV to control line pressure as our mains pressure is all over the place - seems to work well

    food grade citric acid - couple of table spoons 30-40gm in a couple of litres (full reservoir give or take) - very good VFM, safe and effective. you can buy 1kg on ebay for £5ish and that will last you years.

    microfibre cloths, one slightly damp and one dry

    Thanks Daren, I have a TDS meter already but as filter is ion exchange it doesn't tell me much. Dave, agree with all you said. The filter is non bypass (I checked) however the P195BN-E is a big filter, it's rated for 2000ish litres at 300ppm going in and it's only been a couple of months at 2-3...
  19. 🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹ
    It's not adjustable AFAIK but happy to be told otherwise and pointed in the right direction. The filter I have is the P195BN-E with the VH3 head.

    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...
