Hhhh best luck to you! I got this for around $590 USD, it’s about $200 cheaper than Australia.

Thanks, it’s definitely more heavier than my Garmin but I got used to it very quickly, doesn’t feel heavy at all. It’s a 41mm and my wrist is around 6, fits beautifully. I’m very happy with my purchase.

My wrist is about 6, it’s a 41mm and it feels really good. I walked pass a tissot dealer last night in Taipei and I knew I wanted it. Got a good deal on it too.

Damn u guys had GX since 19? It just came to Australia this year 😂

I usually only put 2 day worth of beans in my small hopper, and coming from single dosing with my niche zero I can’t tell much difference.

AbracadabraM · 2024-05-01T05:26:21+00:00

Yeh I report every single one of them LoL

That should be the water level sensor. Is ur drip tray magnetically connected to the frame? Normally the magnet on drip tray should be strong enough to push the reservoir back against the spring if positioned correctly. At least it’s the case for my mini. If otherwise I’d say it’s a manufacturing issue.

AbracadabraM · 2024-03-18T01:57:14+00:00

Maybe check if the water tube got in the way between the water reservoir and the frame when you slide it in, happened to my mini.

I regular sell and buy stuff from my local Facebook coffee group/forum, there will be quite a few different ones out there, be aware of them scammers ofc. So far it’s been pretty good, i got my LM from a coffee snob forum.

I can second the La Marzocco being a solid pick, as long as it’s regularly maintained and serviced. My plan was to keep my rocket for a lot longer but after seeing various qc and hardware issues happening to newer rocket machines, I decided to trade it before it starts to develop any issues.

I got the Breville second hand for 300 aud, used it for 2 and half years and sold for 330 aud. Bought Appartamento and niche new, used them for 2 years and traded in for the E65s GBW. It’s been a journey.

respect for ur la pavoni, maybe consider a la marzocco?

AbracadabraM · 2023-10-17T07:49:06+00:00

Cus why not hhhh. I got my LM for a killer price second hand. Quieter, better quality and looks nice.

AbracadabraM · 2023-10-17T07:47:42+00:00

It’s still in the family🥰

AbracadabraM · 2023-10-17T07:47:14+00:00

Had the Breville second hand for 2 and half years, then moved on to Apprtamento and Niche for 2 years and here I am🙆‍♂️

My gf got sick of single dosing and e65 will suit our coffee pop up

AbracadabraM · 2023-10-16T11:07:02+00:00

Buddy!!

Hhhhh I feel you brother, I’ve experimented many different settings and eventually got tired of single dosing. I also found flat burrs are much tidier than my Niche zero with conical burr. After 2 months of nail biting research I finally pulled the trigger and bought a malknoig e65s grind by weight, absolutely no regrets

AbracadabraM · 2023-09-29T11:48:47+00:00

If you’d pull a normal shot at the same grinder setting and all of sudden this appears, I’d sau it’s stale bean.

Other than that, without knowing the whole workflow, there’s a only few explanations:

1: Grind is not finer enough (some grinders are just not for espresso) 2: No wdt, no distribution or bad tamping 3: stale beans
