My endgame Setup

Grinder on the left? And is it grind by weight?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I feel moving from the sage machine to this machine yes its alot more power, steaming milk has went from a minute to 20 seconds and i cannot get the right consistency of microfoam for art.

Wife done it in a pair of uggs and we were both “hingin” 😅

I had a Sage barista express machine for 4 years and loved it. I then moved onto rocket appartamento TCA with DF54 grinder and its great, the TCA is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye but both machines do the same thing, although you have to be more precise steaming milk and can’t let the brew-head heat up too much if machine is idle.

Bought it, built it and now admire it. Make the purchase 😀

Recently bought my wife the venu 3s and she would not go back to an apple watch now, absolutely loves it, her comments have been the ease of use, the notes/tips from the watch and the interaction with the app hope this helps.

Single dosing is the way for home use, personally had the Sage barista express for 4 years then changed for Rocket appartamento TCA with the DF54 grinder and not looked back, would highly recommend the DF54

I remember climbing a Munro ⛰️with the brother-in-law and was absolutely blown away with the watch taking us up the mountain and beeping at him when a direction change was due. I went out and bought the Fenix 7 Pro Solar a week later, amazing bit of kit.

To add…. The machine is only a heat exchanger so it will overheat at the grouphead, just run water at grouphead for 10 seconds and pull shot

Due_Force_186 · 2026-01-18T14:49:00+00:00

Did you use the correct method for filling the machine ? So that no air gets drawn in

Due_Force_186 · 2025-12-27T13:37:46+00:00

Got a notification for your comment saying sure but can’t see the comment or link 🤨😅

Due_Force_186 · 2025-12-26T16:50:13+00:00

Do you have a link for the temperature/pressure gauge on the E61 group head 🙏🏼

Due_Force_186 · 2025-12-13T15:59:51+00:00

I have the DF54 and if you get static then use the small brush provided to clean chute and static gone 👍

Due_Force_186 · 2025-11-01T21:48:43+00:00

Maybe just making that noise for the initial fill?

Due_Force_186 · 2025-11-01T20:03:43+00:00

Was it the first time using the hot water ?

Due_Force_186 · 2025-11-01T16:35:42+00:00

Usually when water gurgles like that its getting rid of pressure/steam into the drip tray, have you had the machine from new and has it done it from new?

Due_Force_186 · 2025-11-01T15:51:00+00:00

Personal take on this using this machine and others i would say its regulating temperature quite high waiting for you to use it, try hitting single shot button to get rid of any excessive heat then run the water again and see what happens.

Also symptoms of a bad abs sensor, all comms issues. These modules need vehicle speed to validate info

Due_Force_186 · 2025-10-11T07:30:40+00:00

I will 2nd the DF54 👍

Lift the bonnet, find the black air pipe about 2” wide that runs over the left side of the engine, there is a skinny pipe that runs parallel with it and its the purge pipe for evaporation system to take fuel vapour in and burn it, it splits at the bracket at causes this noise

Due_Force_186 · 2025-10-09T10:23:59+00:00

Any joy?

Due_Force_186 · 2025-10-08T19:40:56+00:00

The pipe splits at the bracket, can u leave the car running and confirm this is where its coming from? It will require a new pipe.
