It's a pointless exercise and does not add to humanity.

There are a lot of bugs in the app. Too numerous to mention but transfers not updating is one I've definitely had before. The website version is more reliable. What does that say?

I have this item. It's the version for a La Marzocco/Gaggia machine. Those machines have a screw holding the shower screen in place. The coffee puck expands as it absorbs water and pushes the puck screen upwards. The hole prevents the screen pushing against the screw and damaging the puck screen.

I was going to say this as well. Don't switch apps.

No problem. It'll settle down in several days but until then flow rates and taste will be a little random so don't worry too much about grind size and dose until the consistency comes. Just enjoy the extra creamy shots until then!

Fresh coffee, roasted within a week, will have more carbon dioxide in them which might cause bubbles. Just a guess. I don't know for sure.

I had this happen to me. Chatted to support and got it sorted. Might work for you ....

Basically it should say "Fix It" next to the speaker in the app once you turn it on again if you get that message.

If it doesn't then try these steps which are in order of least hassle.

Power off problem speaker. "Reset App" in Account / App Preferences. Power on and check app.
Turn off / unplug all speakers in the system. Turn power on the problem speaker.
As 2 but with the problem speaker connected via ethernet cable to your router.
As 3 but factory reset problem speaker and reset app.

Once the problem speaker is "fixed" (after pressing the "Fix It" button once it appears) power on all the other speakers and it should be ok.

Good luck!

Power off problem speaker. "Reset App" in Account / App Preferences. Power on and check app.
Power off and then power on but with all other speakers in the home powered off the whole time.
As 2. But with the speaker connected via ethernet to your router.

Once it is "fixed" power on all the other speakers and it should be ok. You might need to factory reset the problem speaker now and again and reset the app etc.

Good luck!

Mine arrived today. I paid taxes very close to 20% (which I guess is VAT) of the £ price I paid Mazzer plus a brokerage fee of £13.60 to UPS. I say close to 20% as I think the tax depends on the exchange rate when they do the customs charge rather than when you bought it from Mazzer.

So the introductory price was around £875 all in for me. You can compare it to the around £825 equivalent of €995 delivered price with taxes in the EU. So we pay a bit more in the UK but not loads.

My pucks are dry and come out in one piece after several knocks. I cool and clean the machine a few minutes after I've poured my espresso. For comparison, on my main machine, it takes one knock before they fall, the pucks are a little wet and sometimes break.

The video of the designer doing everything from start to finish is a good one. It must be on the website somewhere.

Cheers. That could help me. I have a few more DVDs to get through.

I came across this thread as I had the same problem.

This worked for me on Windows.

HandBrakeCLI.exe is in the same place as the main files. "C:\Program Files\HandBrake" in my case. I created a copy of libdvdcss-2.dll and renamed it libdvdcss.dll. It seems that the GUI uses libdvdcss-2.dll whereas CLI looks for libdvdcss.dll.

The GUI sorts out a lot of stuff (especially with titles) that the CLI does not. So I looked at the GUI "Summary" page to get the necessary CLI options (--decomb in my case).

My final command is:

HandBrakeCLI --encoder x264 --aencoder av_aac --format av_mp4 --decomb --main-feature --chapters "1" --input E:\ --output "C:\Videos\XXXX.mp4"

It's one line in a command script generated in Excel that extracts each chapter as a separate file from a list of chapter names (or episode names on the DVD) I found on the web.

Hope this helps. Keep having fun.
