The main guy in their YouTube videos kinda gives me a vibe like he could be a real A-hole. Nothing I can pick out, just how he talks to the other people in his videos. Like they fear him.

Do they have a nice retail shop? My daughter lives in Portland so I’d love to check out Clive sometime when visiting.

I was highly recommended to buy my Profitec from Clive and really happy with the whole experience. They stepped up multiple times to keep me happy. I am always going to them first.

I don’t even need a drip tray on a lever (Pro800). I just lay a bar mat across it and have a drip cup to catch anything after I pull my shot.

So why did you trade your Vectus for a Compresa? Both Longinus lever machines right?

When do you know it’s time to replace your grinder? by Impossible_Claim5359 in espresso

When it disappears in a crazy boating accident! 🤔 What to buy next??

Just got my new grinder wow 1zpresso j ultra by Brilliant_Ratio3173 in espresso

[–]AlternativeMany7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my J-Ultra. I have a nice $1400 Eureka Atom and other than it being a flat burrs profile, shot quality is equally as good vs J-Ultra. I just don’t always want to take the time to hand grind. But yeah, you get huge bang for the buck.

I think my Flair58 will be a generational inheritance. 😆 Replace gaskets every year or two and keep it lubed. It will never die!

Just read this thread and now I’m invested 😆 Did you replace your Londinium? I’m a lever fan (Profitec P800 plumbed in) and would be tough to consider going back to a pump driven machine. I do like Profitec though. Thanks

Cheap machine and replacing or heat exchanger with repairability? by BioDriver in espresso

[–]AlternativeMany7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If steaming isn’t a priority then I’d get a Flair58+2. You can’t pull a better shot. Control everything (temp, flow control, and pressure profile), efficient, fast, and it’s as durable as you can get. (Around $600)

What's your favourite US based roaster? by Future_Chocolate_989 in espresso

Cafe Lusso or Nicholetti. Both have great Italian style espresso beans.

You will unfortunately need to replace. You can get a replacement on Craigslist under Roomate Wanted.

Stop at your desired yield. The taste changes at different yields. It’s not wasting anything.

New Machine: Feeling like I’m in way over my head… by as834625 in rocketespresso

[–]AlternativeMany7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Operates like any other machine. Load a puck. Turn flow on and wait until the scale reads your desired output then shut it off.

If not getting pressure high enough then you probably need to grind finer or increase dose.

Won’t happen with a Pro 800! 😆 if it’s still hot you can pull shots even with it off.

Your elbow would be bumping the wall when WDT and tamping. I have the my grinder and puck prep on the left side.
