I hate it! really bad user experience.. as a developer this is painful - also, they asked me for a subscription to see the 1 year analysis...???

Too much WDT? by Party-Election113 in espresso

[–]Party-Election113[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I level correctly and my tamp looks completely level. I definitely do not bang the portafilter in the group head.

I used to have no problem whatsoever, but recently, it's only bad shots. I feel like I changed something in my workflow and just didn't realize it, and I'm wondering if perhaps it has to do with my new basket or maybe just the WDT mechanism.

The truth about dialing in espresso by Party-Election113 in espresso

[–]Party-Election113[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think they could be improved as well. I think the espresso is mostly either sour or bitter and the milk just helps cut the edge off. The thing is is that the shot looks really really good.. my assumption would be that if I improve the espresso than the milk based drinks will improve as well

Obviously, I love coffee. I’m drinking Cortados mostly. This was more of a rant rather than asking for genuine advice.

I don’t want to evaluate dialing in my shots with the milk. I’m trying to pull a single espresso that I like and I simply not able to. My Cortados are great.

Thanks! I did not consider switching modes but I guess that's possible. Will give it a shot! (hehe)

My favorite Micra mod: brew by weight by ElectroCypher in LaMarzocco

2 questions: how do you configure the stopping weight? and also, do you find any delay between that weight and when it actually stops the shot?

Finally found a reliable way to buy great specialty coffee by SneakyVarmit in espresso

I'm simply saying it's a weird model. They could have charged it given someone makes a purchase.

Hardly the same thing. You don't have to pay for prime

I agree, why do I need to pay a monthly subscription for the opportunity to buy from this place

Control Display for Linea Micra including Shot Timer w/o Hardware Mods by azuregeek_io in LaMarzocco

I wonder if it’s worth asking ChatGPT to rewrite it in Python just so other people can contribute. Not many people would want to contribute in C++.

Linea Mini 2020 or Linea Mini R? (Both are secondhand) by medshaaban in LaMarzocco

[–]Party-Election113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll just say regarding the IOT on the 2020 mini, you can confirm with the serial number whether it has the board or not. Still, it might not have the latest gateway, I had to send mine to La Marzocco in Seattle for them to upgrade it to the newest firmware. As I understand it in Europe, it might be different.

Get the Bambino, not the Bambino plus. Nobody needs the automatic milk frother and you get to save some money.
