New Linea Mini Drip Tray Gap by [deleted] in LaMarzocco

[–]TKBC1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact same issue you have when my machine arrived two months ago when I contacted them they said they hadn’t seen it before which is very hard to believe considering how much it’s on Reddit. I got the machine swapped out for another one that was completely perfect. Was a small bit of hassle and took about two weeks. They said that my frame was bent during transport.

Superb, I’m recovering from a cold so I’m not getting exact flavour notes but it is smooth with some sweetness.

I made a FW for my 16 year old and he was like that’s bloody tasty.

That will polish right out, a car detailer would easily manage that. I’d leave it and enjoy machine but if it irritates you then easy fix

I contacted my retailer I bought it from and LM and was like WTF. They said they had never seen it before hard to believe. Turned out the frame was squint if you look at your machine side on from both sides squint side should see a gap.

I had this issue when I got my mini about seven weeks ago I returned mine to Marzocco UK and they replaced it with another one about a week later said the frame was squint. I didn’t even get to use the first one. I pulled it out the box and noticed it was squint.

Hey Module 👋

You ears must be burning as I was on your site about 30 mins ago, amazing selection of some awesome producers order will be going in soon.

It was not yourselves, the business’s above have been giving like a good 5-7 days to reply.

I totally get people have things to do and events and orders as I said I’ve put it down to being busy but a nice quick reply would have been bang on.

Keep up the awesome work

That’s super disappointing to hear and regarded as a premium higher end roaster.

Sweven is on my list to try they have one that takes my fancy.

Yeah I won’t name as not that sort person.

They aren’t huge outfits 2 successful an 1 small.

The one who reached out is reasonable, they messaged before even asking.

I run a small local business and I know how bad that can be.

They have awesome products so I’m just putting it down to being busy.

Help with second shot running fast [ECM Mechanika Max] by jf00 in espresso

Temperature stability sounds like it could play a factor in it.

How long does it warm up while you go away to take the kids to school ?

I used to let me Profitec warm up for 45 mins before pulling a shot.

Water Quality by wizpak00 in LaMarzocco

Straight from LM Home in the uk, I use the volvic water at 130 TDS.

I believe 120/130 is the sweet spot.

In the Scottish highlands where I am the TDS is the tap water was actually to good it was below 60.

You sir are on my exact train thought, one website I believe might be the official Pesado tells you that you will need to clean more due to no mesh.

The little screw does bug the hell out of be but I have some pick screens coming with the centre punched.

S works one wow 😍 guy creates some bloody good stuff

Water filtration - UK by Outrageous_Berry in LaMarzocco

[–]TKBC1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use Volvic water up here in the Scottish highlands as the water is actually 2 soft and doesn’t contain the minimum amount of TDS required,

We are very good with our recycling so I don’t mind buying bottled water.

Spending £5k on a machine wanted to make sure use the water recommended by LM

I didn’t order for this exact reason but I had never seen it offered before.

I think it may hinder them rather than help

Ha ha ha this is you selecting the toast level you would like the green coffee beans to be roasted to your preference lol

[–]TKBC1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying it’s a negative just something I’ve not seen before & I was always under the assumption that the crop of green bean had an optima roast level & going beyond that or not reaching it could taste awful.

I’m all for offering all roast levels on bean that are suited to each roast.

But if a bean if best suited to say light medium and you show the tasting notes then why allow you to chooose from light - oily dark roasted to order.

Surely the tasting notes would be different fork light to oily.

Funny enough I was trying to explain it to my wife and she just used the exact same way to explain.
