Cuprajake Amazing how folks taste things differently! On medium/plus beans I found for my taste, 93 for the group and 98 for the brew boiler. I presumed that lighter roasts would need higher than that, but the good thing is if you disagree with either of us, you can use your own tastebuds and set them to whatever you want. Can you imagine being stuck with a machine that did not offer you such flexibility….LOL

dfk41 Agree. Every one is different.

For me:

90/96 >= medium dark
91/97 = medium
92/98 <= medium light

Evening. A few weeks ago the safety limit switch on the steam boiler needed to be reset after a lack of heating. This worked for a couple of weeks. Well alas now it seems to have failed as resetting by pushing the central plastic pin no longer helps. ACS have sent a replacement. I’d don’t remember reading about anyone changing this switch but if there is any experience please share, especially if anything special is required to obtain a seal after fitting. I’d consider myself reasonably competent in such matters but still would be interested in any guidance.

Camby if you are talking about the temperature breaker, then those don’t usually require a seal since they don’t go inside the boiler. They are just mounted on the surface.

Camby Unusual for them to fail, but super easy to replace?

After replacement, keep a close eye on the steam boiler temperature.

Camby

Thanks to you both. I hadn’t realised they were surface mount. Once the part arrives and is fitted I will report back.

Hi All

Water for the EVO : what do you recommend?

Thanks

DavecUK

Grahamsphillips Push the boat out and get an Osmio Zero….you know it makes sense!

Cuprajake

Distilled or rodi with Dr pavlis recipe

Grahamsphillips

Thanks @DavecUK you’d go for that over a fully plumbed installation?

DavecUK

Grahamsphillips Absolutely

Cuprajake

I don’t like plumbed in as you can’t treat it, not for no scale anyway

Grahamsphillips

Ok. Thanks everyone I’ll put it on my shopping list

The Osmio pretty much looks after itself, making it simple to use. Some folks like to add minerals back in but for my simple taste buds I like it just the way it is!

Grahamsphillips

dfk41 Cue for a Song? LoLs! Hope life is good, Dave..

Grahamsphillips

Now to find a deal on an OSMIO!

Grahamsphillips Now to find a deal on an OSMIO!

Good luck, but I think you may have to pay RRP unless you ask if they have any graded units!

So, yesterday it finally arrived; my EVO leva! I’m really happy with it. Coming from an Expobar Brewtus, I expected some improvement, but I couldn’t have imagined this much! It’s incredible.

I do have one question: the preinfusion seems to be set at 1 bar. I would like to increase that to around 2 bar. Could someone help me with adjusting it please? Highly appreciated:)

DavecUK

Nuttybarista Just make sure you adjust the correct screw on the pressurestat. The smaller offset one is the deadband,, don’t adjust this one. The one to adjust is the Central one, there is a plus minus marking and I believe you have to turn it clockwise to increase the pressure.

Cuprajake

beautiful machine,

to adjust you are going to have to take the top panel off to expose the pressure stat,

there is an adjustment screw in there,
