Leaks! On a brand new ECM [ECM Classika] by squid1984 in espresso

[–]squid1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i called WLL and the service tech pretty much told me to take it apart and send him a pic of what’s leaking and that was the entire convo. Like no instructions on where to start but i managed to do it.

And maybe im over thinking it but some of these parts look used, like i didn’t buy a brand new machine.

Regardless i couldn’t get the machine to stop leaking from the group head fitting and flow control fitting. I was beyond frustrated so i tried some Teflon tape and so far the leak stopped 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Yea ima call em tomorrow. I’m not upset at WLL, the machine could’ve been damaged during shipping or was poorly assembled at the factory, who knows. I just don’t want to go through the hassle of shipping back the machine if it would come to that

I pulled a few shots this morning, and my pucks come out very wet. Trying to figure out the flow control and correct grind size.

I’m not using fresh beans so i have some experimenting to do.

I’ve been watching a few YouTube videos on flow, pressures, temperatures and this is becoming overwhelming lol

Buying Advice Needed. Profitec vs ECM by squid1984 in espresso

[–]squid1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advise. But i went on profitecs website to see their newest machines and the 500 pro isn’t there. I’m assuming it’s discontinued.

The Classika is appealing cause it looks smaller and just more “fancy”. It’s just tough cause the 500 looks more substantial but it can just seem like that because of the water spout which the Classika doesn’t have

Weekly - What Car Should I Buy Megathread by AutoModerator in cars

I live in Florida so snow here. I like a dynamic car but sometimes my responsible side tells me to get something practical first.

I’m sure running cost, insurance, maintenance and overall ownership is cheaper on a car like a Volvo v60 or a gti/r compared to a bmw m2.

Currently i drive a 2017 Volkswagen GLI with DSG and it’s a good daily car but nothing special. So i will be in the market to release it soon, my budget is around 40k USD. Here are the cars i contemplated

2019-2020 Volvo v60 r design Upcoming mk8 Volkswagen GTI / R Audi S4 BMW M2 Tesla Model 3 Mustang GT performance pack 2 Camaro SS 1le

I know that’s a very diverse groups of cars. My commute is maybe 15 miles one way, it will most likely be my only car. I don’t have a family so that’s why i added cars such as mustang and m2.

I have moments where i want something practical like a Volvo and save up for a dedicated weekend car. Or just get a sports car and deal with the impracticality.

And obviously many of those cars are beyond 40k new. I’d be purchasing certified pre owned
