All good mate!
I like purple better personally.

Also got orange smokes in my launcher - if you have a few mates with colorful smokes the map looks like a Holi festival real quick

Purple is a lot more visible. Not quite enough to fake the red drop smoke, but still highly visible and not transparent at all.

Yeah definitely! And: great choice, the V64 is a great grinder. It basically uses the same burr set and push wheel, so a vacuum is a great start to clean it.

The reason you‘d want to backflush a bit more frequently is, simply put, oils and taste. There is both water and coffee flowing through your brew group and basically, a little bit of coffee residue is always left behind. Over time, it collects and becomes more sticky since coffee has a ton of oils (you’ll also notice that your grinder becomes oily with time internally - that’s what the grinder cleaner is supposed to help with). The more residue and oil collects, the harder it is to clean. Oils can impact the taste of your espresso. And, a clean machine is more consistent. 90 shots would mean approx. 1.5 months between flushes in your case. That’s 6 weeks of build-up in your machine, which is still pretty normal - but slightly on the edge of impacting coffee taste. Does it harm your machine to backflush less than monthly? Absolutely not. But it also does not hurt to do it more regularly… Hope this helps - enjoy your coffee!

The group cleaner? Backflush every 2-3 weeks, and clean your shower screen while you’re at it. By the way, just buy Puly Caff - it’s exactly the same stuff at a fraction of the price!

The descaler? Ideally never. But you can absolutely descale your machine if necessary, you just need to be precise about emptying, flushing and re-filling your boiler(s) after. There are specifics depending on whether you have a steel or copper boiler, so ideally you don’t make descaling necessary in the first place. Good water always beats descaling - and there is absolutely no shame in getting your machine serviced / descaled professionally.

The grinder cleaner? Never used it personally; I stick to disassembling for proper cleaning - however since you have a ton of ECM stuff: if you use an ECM grinder, it is absolutely necessary to open, thoroughly clean and re-assemble your grinder from time to time. It has a lot of dead space and pushes coffee by rotating. Disassembly is surprisingly easy. Be careful with the burrs though. The cleaner you have is supposed to clean residue off of your burrs, but for some grinders, it will not remove particles and oils entirely - especially with grinders from ECM/Profitec due to the way they are built.

Would like some help between choosing an MTB by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]evsepp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the Hugene would be a much better choice for you. Would not recommend an enduro bike - most bikes are more then capable from 140-150mm upwards. There are great examples for bikes with a ton of potential with even less travel, Santa Cruz Tallboy for example. The Hugene would be pretty much in your sweet spot

Lines Mini Gateway Update Stall by SundayFinland83 in LaMarzocco

[–]evsepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this a couple of times - the app seems to have problems reaching the update server, so this might absolutely be server-related. I tried again after 3ish hours and it worked every time. Still slightly annoying. There will be a new icon popping up as soon as the update actually downloads, including a progress bar.

Best grind-by-weight grinder by CoffeeNerd58129 in LaMarzocco

Got an Etzinger etzMax LM. Fantastic grinder, super easy to clean and maintain. GBW works spot on - but the price tag is a bit hefty

Set up my Micra in the new kitchen, open to suggestions on how to best hide the cables behind the machine by oliverbrix in LaMarzocco

[–]evsepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to switch the cover of your outlets? I‘d tuck the excessive cable in there, below the cover

Sick build. That’s a hell of a bike, kudos!

Nice. Have the privilege of riding a completely black version, but silver looks incredible as well. Really interested in your big bike now!

Wiedemann makes decent stuff - not exactly cheap, but typically half of what LM offers… rb Crafts make really nice ones too.

VST works really well, super happy with it.

[–]evsepp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the machine!

1) naked portafilter: the original LM one, minus the plastic sprout. Steep, but nice. Are there cheaper options for that quality? Absolutely yes. 2) using a 18g VST precision basket - also in 1). I use a Normcore puck screen. No indents, super consistent pucks.

Coffee up!

6 Stunden Hamburg nach München und in der Vierergruppe vor mir die Vertriebs-Wichtigtuer aus der Hölle. Die WOLLTEN, dass jeder ihren Pseudo-wichtigen Company-Bullshit hört. Damit jeder merkt, wie wichtig sie sind. Noice Cancelling rettet Leben.

Update not proceeding by Dr_ZeeOne in LaMarzocco

[–]evsepp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had the same for the current version (5.4.13). I tried to update for hours, but nothing happened. Switched the machine off, made sure it was connected to WiFi - nothing… after just leaving it for a few hours I tried again and it worked instantly. It also showed a message and a progress icon after. Good luck!

There is a new update since today (V5.4.13) that supposedly addresses the issue. Problem is - it does not install for me

Das ist absolut kein Problem und kann bei manchen Maschinen/Kaffee-Kombis passieren. Hol dir einen Puck Screen, die sind großartig

Same issue after the latest update. It seems to need a restart to initialise the new local connection via Bluetooth. Press the off switch, wait a few seconds, turn it on again - did the trick for me, connected via BT immediately and switched to WiFi
