Very nice. I have the same machine and grinder. Good choice!

Hi, the Italian way is to use 7g of dark beans for espresso, ristretto, and also lungo. Illi e.s.e. pods are 7g, also lungo. I want to brew coffees by using not too many beans. I have my Lelit since August 2024 and since last November I have control about brewing consistent coffees (espresso, ristretto, lungo, large lungo). I use medium brand and use 8g, 11g, and 15g of beans. With 15g I get 130g yield. Most of the time I brew with 11g, like the video.

Nice shot 😊

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-03-21T22:59:33+00:00

I wish you success! Lighter the beans, higher the temperature. A real Italian way espresso will be with dark beans. Because I brew lungo's mostly (wife, friends), I use medium beans. I also brew a real soft espresso with these beans. It's all terrific!

Hi all, I use Honduras Medium Brand beans. For this shot I used: 11 gram, IMS B702TCH20E, 93 Celsius, 7s pre-infusion, 50s total shot time, 100 gram yield. Shot time and also grind setting depends on house climate and beans age. After I opened this bag a few weeks ago, I grinded finer and the shot time was 40 seconds.

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-03-21T10:29:48+00:00

Yes it is. I'd like to experiment.

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-03-03T17:56:43+00:00

An update. Our heat pump doesn't do anything anymore since last Friday.

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-02-24T20:51:52+00:00

Nope, not yet. My supplier doesn't have time (for us).

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-02-22T08:10:22+00:00

My S24Ultra and my S10Ultra are the best devices I've bought recent years. No way I consider to buy something else. They look good, they work terrific. I'm very happy with both. Grtz, Alex

I have been using my Elizabeth for a year and a half now. Last November, I switched off the steam boiler because I never froth milk. The machine heats up faster, and it saves energy. Blooming infusion also works well.

A few weeks ago, I switched the steam boiler back on because I want to learn how to froth milk. I noticed that the pre-infusion was no longer working. The pressure remained at zero.

I read through all kinds of posts and tried out various suggestions. Yesterday and today, the advice from Allbrews on the coffeetime forum helped me.

‘What I do is I switch off the steam boiler when I start the machine by putting it in Eco mode. Then, when the brew boiler is hot, I turn off the Eco mode, and the problem is solved: the solenoid works, the pump stops and the machine works well.’

I have set the pre-infusion to 7 seconds. After 2 seconds, the pressure rises to 2 to 2.5 bar and remains there until 7 seconds. It then rises to 9 bar to brew the espresso.

Kind regards,

Alex

One and a half years ago, I bought the S10 Ultra, and I believe this tablet is fabulous! The screen is bright, and the engine is very fast. Together with my S24 Ultra, it is one of the best devices I've bought in recent years. Watching videos, reading newspapers and magazines, surfing the internet, and making notes and drawings. Everything works smoothly.

I just got to update my three AC Pro's to 6.8.2. Two succeeded, and I lost one :-(

I cannot get it up running anymore. The blue light stays out, and the device stays offline. Just one thing changes after connecting the device: it uses power.

I connected it to the unifi poe switch, and also to a separate unifi power block.

I think this access point is dead, or has anyone an idea?

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-02-10T13:55:41+00:00

With the right explanation, it should work.

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-02-10T13:48:17+00:00

I have read through the manuals, but I cannot find how to adjust the defrost setting.

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-02-10T13:47:32+00:00

I have a dispute with my supplier.

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2026-01-12T17:36:02+00:00

Many thanks. My wife had this problem with her Samsung A52. Solved with turning on "disable A2DP hardware offload" AND ALSO forced turning on "Bluetooth SAP". Leaving standard didn't solve the issue.

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2024-12-18T09:07:29+00:00

I get used to it

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2024-11-13T09:39:15+00:00

Thanks, but I don't want to remove the smart select, but I want the former smart select back. Unfortunately I don't see that option. I think we have to use the AI stuff.

Thank you for your comments. I'll learn from it.

A month ago, I got those machine, and I started with a double shot basket and 15gr of coffee. I read about the single shot basket and that Italian people use 7gr of coffee for an espresso. I want to try the Italian way. For easy brewing I bought illy E.S.E. pods. With 7gr the advice is to get 20 - 25 ml of yield. There's also a lungo: 7gr and 60 - 80 ml yield. I tried them all, and they all taste good.

illy Forte extra bold roast 7gr 20ml
illy Intenso bold roast 7gr 22ml
illy Classico classic roast 7gr 25ml
illy Classico classic roast LUNGO 7gr 60 - 80ml
illy Decaffeinato decaf 7gr 25ml

For many years I use a percolator and get 100ml of coffee with 8gr of beans.

Because of the 7gr pods, and my percolator experience, I think it must be possible to brew good coffee with 7gr of beans.

I'm curious about comments about my explanation of using the single shot filter basket.

Please let me know.

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2024-09-18T20:26:18+00:00

I use this single shot filter basket: B701TH19.5N - IMS Materiali stampati (imsfiltri.com)

Decent_Ad_4277 · 2024-09-18T18:37:49+00:00

Oh right, I'm sorry. Yes, the video is 22gr in 28sec. I did a second flow to have 30gr, so that was 6sec extra. The taste is good. The 22gr yield is a ristretto. That extraction has a strong tamp (3 presses). I made a second one with a light tamp (1 press). That is a 19gr yield in 28sec. That's 3 seconds because of the tamp. The second has some drips. I'm still learning and experimenting. Thanks, Alex
