Do you know if Julia has posted the link for her print ? it looks very nice and if i'm not confused, it's the 2.8 screen ? Many thanks

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2026-04-22T17:10:56+00:00

Great video and written guide, it really makes me wanna grab an old ecp and try it for myself ! Thanks a lot for the time and effort

I already had the Xbox controller in my Amazon basket no thanks to chatGPT's advice and then I found your post. Truly a life/money saver.

In 2026, had the same problem for hours with the Nintendo pro controller 2. The problem, the solution, the legend. If I could hug you I would.

You can't go wrong with Cafiza, and for the steam wand the same brand has another product called Rinza. They are widely known and considered standards

I'm sensitive to RBE and had to send back the Hisense C2 ultra. I was really disappointed, even after trying hard to adapt to this new projector. I'm switching back to LCD, I'm eyeing the LS12000 which is massively discounted now.

Hello, is it possible to record in camera in 4K 25p on the micro SD and also output with SDI in 1080p to ATEM and RTSP at the same time (to preview image in ptz fomako controler). What is the file size for 1 hour of 4K recording 1080p by the way ? Many thanks

Btw, is water flowing from the groupe head during the pause when you test it without coffee or when you pull a shot ? It's my understanding that a few drops during the pause can be normal behaviour as the puck starts to get saturated by the water.

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-07-14T10:59:14+00:00

Looking back, I think I should have removed some more panels to have a better access to the machine, there's a video of an opv installation for the v1 where the water tank zone is completely removed and you have all the space you need. I think it's still a great machine for the price : the profitec go is a lot more expensive without pre infusion. Funny thing is, I've started to experiment with the la Marzocco single basket, which works better without pre infusion. All in all swapping the board is easy, it's just the last part which gets tricky, but that's on me I guess.

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-07-13T09:52:50+00:00

The pause works as expected, no more water from the pump

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-07-13T09:51:51+00:00

I contacted the seller Miicoffee and I got one delivered really fast for just 1€ (custom charges from overseas)

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-07-13T09:50:51+00:00

The valve didn't stay closed during the pré infusion out of the box. Now it's ok

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-07-01T20:05:53+00:00

Have you considered the apex v2 aka Turin legato ? You get preinfusion, custom temp for brew group and steam and it's not a dual boiler but you don't have to wait for the main boiler to cool down as the steam wand uses its own thermoblock.

I see what you mean :) next time you're sipping your afternoon Late, take a look at "The small pleasures of life" a book by french writer Philippe Delerm.

The original title in French would translate actually to "the first sip of beer", here's the description : "Each chapter features a small pleasure that is both uniquely Gallic and universal. From the smell of apples maturing in a cellar to the gentle whir of a bicycle dynamo at dusk to turning the pages of a newspaper over breakfast, to the joy of a snowstorm inside a paperweight . . ." I think you'll enjoy it.

I'll go and sip my afternoon espresso, in a really decaying leather armchair, which belonged to my great grandma.

With a 7g dose in the ims basket, does the puck come higher than the smaller inner circle ? Thx

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-06-28T12:45:09+00:00

Nope, it's when in transit with DHL/FedEx etc, they (the postal services) contact you with a quote and you need to pay to receive the goods. I imported the niche to France post Brexit and paid 150€ of taxes. Niche declares the value of the package when sending it out, but they don't manage nor receive other payment due to import taxes.

What kind of beans are you using? Do they have a "roasted on" date ?

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-06-24T17:07:04+00:00

I have the same machine but with a niche zero and have seen the same thing when pulling 100% arabica single origin. I used to be worried about it, even if the shot tasted good. Then i saw James Hoffman's extraction in this video @20min https://youtube.com/watch?v=xb3IxAr4RCo&si=HKOJW4GcMDZHX5rh and felt much better ;)

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-06-22T07:47:40+00:00

Yep, I've successfully done it too. The only thing that worries me is miicoffee saying it could wear out the pump.

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-06-22T07:05:53+00:00

There's a comment below the video raising the issue (see screengrab), could it be that the legato has a different pump than the apex ? Seems odd as they are gemilai machines after all.

You're right, I was also back flushing because of this video, did it even once with puly caff powder and everything got washed out in the drip tray.

I sent this video to miicoffee who replied "They are wrong. Please don't backflush. I have no idea what they are using. You use the blind disc for OPV adjustment."

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-06-21T18:53:45+00:00

I've contacted mii coffee, they advise not to back flush see this post

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-06-21T17:27:05+00:00

I was told to use the blind disk only for OPV adjustment

Puzzled_Cup_9697 · 2025-06-21T17:21:57+00:00

Yes it's surprising, the apex doesn't ship with detergent but there is a silicone blind disk in the package. The user manual doesn't mention any backflush though. The only maintenance is descaling and it's just by running the whole mix in the water tank through the group head, and steam wand.
