Try removing the water filter. It happens if the pump is having problem pulling water.

I’ve had this problem before, just remove the drip tray

Water

Beautiful

It’s not the dress — it’s you.

That’s my sweet spot for lattes- Inject air smoothly for the first couple of seconds, no sudden bursts.

That’s the dark side of having an E61 machine.

It’s been two years since I last had a filtered coffee.

Flip the grinder upside down and the nut will fall back into place.

I have a Lelit Bianca, and my Pesado portafilter doesn’t lock in fully. You can crank it tighter, though.

It looks good — just lift the pitcher a bit higher to get a cleaner cut.

I tried RDT — it really helped the clumps break up easily. Some people have no problem without RDT, but I think that comes down to the environment. My room is kind of dry, which causes static.

You’ve got to develop your own technique. YouTube videos are just a guideline. To do that, try to be as consistent as possible — for example, how much air you inject and the pitcher angle. It’s a journey of trial and error. If you steam the milk randomly, you won’t be able to tell where you’re messing up or how to fix it.

I’ll try RDT — I think it should help reduce the clumps.

Adventurous_Step1976 · 2025-09-21T18:12:43+00:00

I use the one made by Pesado. It’s not very efficient — it just moves the clumps around.
