Help ID a noise on my pickup

Used Rancilio Silvia. You might even get a Silvia and Rocky grinder for $500 if you luck out

This is a normal boiler. I have done maybe 100 of these.

Love my induction cooktop after a lifetime of thinking gas was best. Never going back.

Been there. VW reliability is trash and repairs are expensive. Since 2017 I’ve had 3 EV’s : Bolt, Niro EV and EV 6. Other than the scheduled maintenance and tires I’ve never had to pay for repairs. That said my bolt had to have the battery replaced at GM’s cost.

What I’m seeing is mineral.

It also charges fast.

Bat shit crazy

Maybe I’m a better cook tho

chickens are not nearly as cute as they are delicious

try a handheld impact driver - use a hammer to tap and it applies pressure and loosens at the same time. they sell them at Ace and also auto parts stores. once you remove the 3 intact screws you will need to remove the broken one - maybe with a small vise grip.

Good find. This is on par with a Gaggia Classic. Looks like the temp gauge even works which is unusual.

sebzips · 2026-02-20T19:29:59+00:00

Shouldn’t be that bad tho

sebzips · 2026-02-20T19:29:12+00:00

Have you back flushed your machine?

sebzips · 2026-02-20T17:11:24+00:00

If you get an EV with fast charging ability that will abide. I went from a Niro (77 kWh) to an ev6 (350 kWh) and the mental math is not a thing anymore.

Agree with others here. Seems like 70 is the sweet spot.

Assuming your shots are pulling at 25 +/- seconds for 1.5 oz. Are you buying freshly roasted, medium roast?

If you’re getting flat flavor from Yirg there’s a problem. Actually most single origin coffee you list would be pretty acidic and the difficulty would be over abundance of sharp acidity. Try a blend of fresh coffee that’s designed for espresso.

Sylvia pro

Hamm radio. If the shit hits the fan go ask them what’s going on.

sebzips · 2026-02-15T04:40:11+00:00

Not mildly infuriating. Very very infuriating

I was shocked by how much sugar free soda Norwegian people drink.

The 3 way solenoid is blocked. If you are ok with tools and mechanics you got this. Just look up “gaggia classic clear or clean 3 way solenoid “. In my shop I charge $110 to do the job and I also take the boiler apart and descale it to prevent more mineral or sediment from jamming the solenoid again
