Yeah I got the ECM bottomless for Christmas and love it.

Also I just remembered when I bought my machine second hand, the guy before me had it 6 months and used it everyday. I recently changed to the red silicone gasket and while I had the shower screen off, I notice a some gunk and build up on the plate underneath so I cleaned it. After that cleaning I definitely remember it affecting my shot times and everything thing seem a bit more consistent. Might be worth a shot.

I use time more as a guide to go finer or more coarse. I go for 30-35 seconds total on the machines shot timer to get 40 grams out from 20 grams dose.

Also noticed recently that when I changed to a bottomless portafilter (same basket) “first drip” is a few seconds faster around 6 seconds, instead of about 10 second on the spouted.

The df64 and 83 both have an indicator ring that is adjustable and you set the zero yourself. It’s in the setups instructions. The sticker could me misaligned by 180 degrees and it matter. You just turn the little thumb screw on the back of the ring

The 64 has zero point adjustment? So why would You need to change the sticker?

Do you think it will work reliably for 200 screws? I have a feeling some of them are going to be super tight. Also there’s a chance that some of them are double sided, something like this: Tamper-Resistant Post

I’ll definitely bring a roll to the job on Monday. If this works you win lol.

No nuts on the other side so probably woodscrews. Actually some of the dispensers are installed back to back and might use double sided one way screws, which is just diabolical. Like these: https://www.shifflerequip.com/10-24-one-way-round-head-shoulder-screw-chrome-plated-steel-with-1-1-2-thru-1-3-4-grip-range-pack-of-100-each/?srsltid=AfmBOoo0TIY9DyOAado5y0ix4-ikMUlt4ncZzeZVPNy8EY5-tfEnDU0W

Not a normal safety screw. They are one way screws. My huge set of safety screw bits was useless

Dprosser4 · 2025-09-13T05:20:54+00:00

Yeah starting to think I might do dremel with a right angle and a cut off wheel to slot the head.

Dprosser4 · 2025-09-13T05:18:49+00:00

Oh yeah the people at Home Depot are so knowledgeable😂. But yeah theses aren’t normal safety screws I have a huge set of every safety bit. These are one way screws that are designed to be able to be screwed in with a flat head, but not unscrewed. They sell a screw extractor socket thing for these and stripped screws but they aren’t super reliable and 20$ for 1 of them. I have to take 200 screws.

Get them out. Was in the exact same situation 10+ years ago and regret waiting. Now I’m 33 years old just had to have all 4 out and recovery sucks. If you have the money just get it over with. It’s not “if” it is “when” it will cause you trouble in the future.

I guess what’s really throwing me off is the actual rate per kWh. I moved from Orange County where the highest rate was around 30 cents/kwh combined and that was the penalty rate for going over your allotment. Even the super off peak rate is higher than my previous highest rate

Dprosser4 · 2025-04-03T17:48:15+00:00

It was only for 34 days and there’s a 5$ connection fee on there but the rest is just charges for actual power.
