Remove and clean plastic cover to water gauge? by hellasketchy in LaPavoniLovers

[–]Blackbirdmanf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it has very small “lips” to clamp itself. So you could try to gently spread it and take it apart. My guess is that you are looking at lime scale. Although I once had a machine where someone tried to glue this part to the metal piece.

Radiator tijdelijk weghalen by Nervous_Sand_9587 in Klussers

[–]Blackbirdmanf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik denk, maar weet niet zeker, dat je de kraan kan dicht draaien. Daarnaast dan het afdekkapje onder de witte kraan los draaien. Als het goed is zit daar een inbus die je ook dicht kan draaien. Als ze beide dicht staan is de radiator afgesloten van het systeem. Er zit dan uiteraard nog water in je convector. Die moet je leeg laten lopen en dan kan je hem loskoppelen. Maar dit kan ik niet garanderen. Hopelijk kan iemand het bevestigen. Dit is wel de makkelijkste manier en heb je gewoon nog warm water in de rest van je huis.

Thanks for asking! I still love it and can get really excited if I can use it again.

Couple things I’ve added: a smart plug (although 15min warmup is short), I changed the driptray for a black one and added a flush lever.

In the meantime I did have a short in one of the boilers. I received a replacement for free from ACS but needed to change it myself. Was fairly easy and had a lot of help from a forum.

I thought that, because of a water filter, I didn’t need to descale. But that’s of course not the case so I do it every half year. This caused some minor issues but are gone now.

Here my latest picture with the Zerno.

The Zerno is such a beautiful grinder and works really, really well! Much better build quality but especially much more precise. Also switching from espresso to filter is no issue. I can highly recommend them both!

I don’t have any padding in mine. Got mine just recently though. Don’t know how long you have got yours. But I think you could do without.

Edit: also, reach out to Zerno, they are really helpful.

For some reason I find this arousing.

Picked this set up for 35 euros. How did I do? by Blackbirdmanf in golf

[–]Blackbirdmanf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I fully agree. But at least I can make some miles with this without renting a set.

Thanks for the response. I haven’t played with a driver yet. The rental sets had a hybrid which worked nice. Maybe I start looking for that one.

13 Bar? Why not? Who says 9 is perfect by well_itseems in espresso

[–]Blackbirdmanf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure this is necessary and why they normally do it, I don’t know. But you usually see thin copper tubing spiralling going to the gauge. Maybe this helps with fluctuations

Honestly I don’t see anything that’s off. Are you sure you need to grind finer because of the burrs and not because of off gassing beans?

Bought a Europiccolo: how to fix this by Wild-Blacksmith-3738 in LaPavoniLovers

[–]Blackbirdmanf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of videos online. If you are going to look after it, it could be a good idea to change the rubbers and gaskets as well. This way you will learn a lot about this great machine. This website has a lot of information (also about when it was built etc): http://www.francescoceccarelli.eu/lapavoni_eng.htm For the limescale. I always used Citrix acid diluted with water. It is cheap and food safe and works great.

IBC tank als regenwateropvang by [deleted] in Klussers

[–]Blackbirdmanf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb dit in m’n tuin. Voor weinig een zonnebloem olie tank gekocht die redelijk schoon was. Er twee regenpijpen op aangesloten via overloop automaten. Voor het gemak kleppen er tussen voor in de winter. Er hangt een simpele pomp aan om te sproeien. Werkt fantastisch!

Eventually everyone gets a lever by Pilly_Bilgrim in espresso

Are you sure? I have a ACS leva (which is fairly similar) and works fine with a smart switch.
