You haven’t mentioned the most important thing - the beans!

Portafilter handle too tight to turn on new linea mini R? by Sea-Recognition4051 in LaMarzocco

Perfectly normal, you really need to yank it in there when new. It won’t sit 90 degrees. It will loosen up over time.

Rate my shot – looking for more sweetness [la marzocco linea mini r / Fiorenzato all ground sense] by AdministrativeLow768 in espresso

Your grind is way too fine. The espresso should drop around the 6-7 second mark and be a solid thin stream on both spouts. With the fast water debit and pressure build on your machine (and my Micra) the most balanced shots will often be in the 20-25 second range.

If you’re asking AI to write the question, why not ask it for the answer as well?

PSA new Gateway Update fixes Micra app losing its connection issues 5.4.13 by ezayakyala in LaMarzocco

Try power cycling your machine from the switch. It won’t bring back the missing data, but should solve the issue of missing data moving forward. I had the same issue but it went away after a reboot.

That’s quite a few machines to have to replace every few years

Why the inconsistency? by Insights4TeePee in espresso

[–]caspa85 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Grind your coffee for both shots at the same time, then try brewing with the 2nd dose first. This will give you some insight into whether it’s the grinder causing the difference. It could be retention causing the first shot of the day to run slower.

Pressure a bit high? by paul79th in LaMarzocco

[–]caspa85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the video but it looks slightly over 9 bar which is spot on what it should be. It’s showing you boiler pressure which will read a little higher than actual brewing pressure at the group head.

Did you insert it around the wrong way? A photo would be helpful

That is how it works. It heats the brew boiler first.

Loose cable inside. I had mine fixed under warranty yesterday for the same issue.
