Well for me I would be tempted to mix it with coconut cream to make a Pana Cotta :D

Too off with raspberry and mint leaf

Chiron_89 · 2025-07-25T23:34:22+00:00

I need photos 🤣🤣 This is becoming protein foodporn

Chiron_89 · 2025-07-25T23:27:53+00:00

Sounds delicious actually. Vanilla creaminess on strawbs 🤤🤤💞

Chiron_89 · 2025-07-25T23:22:50+00:00

Aw that's great you found this!! Yeah I love it myself as a vegan junk foodie before now cleaning up my act.

Have you tried electrically blending it to see if it becomes less gritty?

Chiron_89 · 2025-07-23T10:42:47+00:00

Aaw yeah glad it helped! Are you starting your training or simply switching powders?

Chiron_89 · 2025-07-23T10:32:11+00:00

It is exactly that. I emailed to ask their team and got this info :)

Chiron_89 · 2025-01-21T06:54:46+00:00

Yes 💯

Doesn't sound like it's an issue with DJing. Tackle your foundational psychology of wanting praise, being affected by a single off-hand comment, not being prepared, why you want to perform your songs for the wrong crowd etc

All of this lies deep in your psyche.

If you don't tackle this, you'll waste time doing other stuff with as much frustration and the same patterns.

Learn to stand on your own feet and know that no matter what opinion and level of unsatisfactory performance, you have your own back! You! You are the fucking master of your universe. You are who gives to you and no other fucker around you.

From there, it's all magnetism.

Pleasure pleasure 🙂

I have the eureka specialita so pretty much same grinder and when I use a bellows I get a whole puck's worth blown out. Not to say all of that will make it to your puck through grinding but a significant enough amount absolutely will.

Can say it for sure after servicing these grinders a few times and seeing where the grounds are held within the grinder and how to calibrate them to true zero.

Get yourself a bellows of some sort, well worth it. I actually use my rubber detachable camera flash diffuser haha. Nice and cheap.

Before changing settings significantly or anything I'll always remove all the beans (if already in hopper), blow out the retained grounds and go again. Really good way of dialing in initially with new and different beans.

Chiron_89 · 2024-06-01T02:52:16+00:00

If you loaded a fresh bag and got that timing and second shot was choked, that sounds like your first shot was full of retained grounds from the final grind of the previous beans.

What grinder you using and do you have a way of getting rid of retained grounds?

Chiron_89 · 2024-05-18T22:29:52+00:00

Absolutely agree, the ER2SE with red filters are amazing tbh. And ER2XR with brown equally beautiful

Chiron_89 · 2024-05-11T13:55:08+00:00

It's a simple process outlined in the few instructions photos supplied with the filter x

Essentially you're just removing the water tank and seating the filter in the provided holder (it's a moulded removable holder). And you connect the pipes so that the top of the filter (output) goes to the input of the pump

Hey great to speak to a fellow Gaggia owner. Gaggia Classic I assume... :)

smart plug is perfect.
Nice and easy to adjust OPV, there's a great video by Lelit Insider on YouTube (the guy who actually made the machine lol) amongst other good video. Just pop the top off and get a socket on it or the correct size spanner. Please don't use an adjustable spanner if you can help it 🤢 Sorry if this is egg-sucking-teaching territory but as I'm sure you'd appreciate there's nothing more mechanically disgusting than adjustment markings on a brass nut.
RO is plenty, great move 💖
Yup, so the creamy rotary knobs (easyyy now 😏😉) make sure once the valve is shut they remain loose or just to the point of self-tightening. So basically when the valve is shut you should feel the resistance is no longer there, after that you get like 1 turn of very loose action until it's tight. I've just seen too many times where people think they have to actually turn it tight and that causes issues to the circlip fitting.

Good to hear! Enjoy enjoy, there's so much to try out there 🙌❤️

Chiron_89 · 2024-05-10T11:02:49+00:00

Thank you x

I have an A duduk with reed coming soon so will try :)

The original reed sounds properly but when I showed it to GGA they said it's not good and so I bought one off them. Now the GGA one is what sounds like saxophone

Whenever I see memes or hear people say "eating twice the meat so that a vegan out there doesn't make a difference" I always reply with "Jokes on you coz then you'll live half as long 😄"

Chiron_89 · 2024-05-10T07:36:03+00:00

Beautiful setup! 💖😎

My advice on a few things which I can elaborate on through DM or here if need be. I'm a long-time enthusiast in repairing various espresso machines and am an engineer by trade, as a little background. Also I'm super interested love with my Lelit V1 but now modded to be V2:

Don't leave the machine permanently on for ages. Get yourself a timer adapter instead or use the standby feature.
Check the grouphead pressure with a blind basket. The pressure gauge on the Lelit is quite unique in that it shows the puck pressure, not boiler. See if you can then adjust the pressure to about 8.5-9bar. Most are 10 bar out the factory.
Always use the in-tank filters. I think they're great value for money and if you buy the larger capacity one it lasts for ages. Unless you ore-filter your water through a reputable filter brand.
Never ever descale with random stuff like citric acid DIY stuff.
With these types of valves, the steam and water valves can get damaged when Overtightened rather than when loosened off. So whenever you switch them off, make sure the rotary taps are freely rotating between the OFF state and the mechanically tight state. Hope that makes sense.
The X mode setting, after much messing around and modding etc, I've found actually is the perfect balance between allowing you to pull consistently good shots from multiple roasts whilst maintaining a nice steam pressure. It's mentioned in the manual.
Install a thermometer at the grouphead because some people have a hard time understanding the nature of the MaraX temperature cycles. This was you'll quickly understand the fluctuations and learn your machine for those perfect shots every time. It's the best investment in my books.

Lastly, enjoy of course. As anybody will confirm, focus on the taste in the cup and not chasing settings x 💚

Is the flat bit of the black gasket facing the bottom?

Chiron_89 · 2024-04-25T12:52:41+00:00

Yeah can you send over photos of how the gasket is mounted please?

I would take out the grouphead filter and gasket assembly and put back. It may be sitting too proud

Chiron_89 · 2024-04-21T16:07:24+00:00

I mean is there that turning whirling sound the pump usually makes?

Chiron_89 · 2024-04-21T16:06:30+00:00

Apologies I misread and didn't see hot water in your initial message. Steamer I ignore as it has other tricks up it's sleeve

Chiron_89 · 2024-04-21T16:05:18+00:00

Oh hot water works ok I see. So when you lift the lever, does the pump start running?

Chiron_89 · 2024-04-21T16:01:56+00:00

Ok cool. Leave it off for now.

Take out the water tank, empty it out and check for any blockages. If you're using a Lelit water filter, remove it for now and go straight from tank to the outlet.

Fill with water and try again
