MattH I ordered on April 6th so delivery has been fast. Went for white, I did ring them before though and I think they said all colours were in stock.

      phil28 The masterclass freebie - do you know what that actually entails… I just added it as you mentioned you could :)

      Maybe its time for a La Marzocco thread to pool tips/tricks/upgrades etc.

          phil28 nice one! I did order another yes. Hopefully i ring tomorrow and they are bemused and think I’m an idiot and then just cancel it and partially refund the first but uncertainty got the better of me!

            MattH Crikey that’s fast! I presume the offer gave you the expedited shipping, without it that was something like £150 which I didn’t fancy paying!

              It’s in! The steam power…. 😱😱😱 it’s bonkers compared to what I had before (a Quickmill Andreja Premium), I quite literally am terrible at using it, that’s going to be a learning curve :) all seems very lovely though! Absolutely loving the rotary pump which is also something I’ve not had before, so quiet…

                MediumRoastSteam This also confused me.. the manual says it’s normal at least… “in normal operation the coffee group pressure gauge can read anywhere from 0-12 bar”. 🤷‍♂️

                  I wondered this too, there’s a detailed explanation on HB:

                  The brew hydraulic circuit is quite complex in the LMLM. The brew pressure gauge does not measure the actual pressure at the puck. It measures the pressure inside the brew boiler that is integrated into the brewgroup. The brew pressure is measured at a 4-way cross fitting, which leads into the brew boiler.

                  When the machine is idle, the brew pressure gauge should indicate 12-bar. There is a pressure relief valve just behind the drip tray that can be adjusted to maintain this pressure. It should be adjusted so that at idle, the pressure does not exceed 12-bar, but should be right at or just under that value. You can adjust it easily with a wrench (17mm as I recall) or even with your fingers if it isn’t hot. Adjust, flush water with the brew padle for a second or so, then watch the pressure after you turn off the brew paddle. It should quickly rise and settle at 12-bar. It should hold this pressure for a considerable amount of time, like 30-minutes or longer. (if it doesn’t hold the adjusted pressure for long, then a check valve or something is leaking and you should contact LM for service - they were quite helpful when I had a check valve go bad and the indicated pressure would drop in a short time idling).

                    caffeinated-carp Have you sorted out your double order / discount.

                    With the code when you added it it just set delivery to Free so there was no options then (I saw the 2 options for paid delivery and both made me wince 😂)

                      Also for those that were interested, LM did refund - I actually did end up placing a second order, they just refunded the first so I kept the second cheaper order, though apparently you are not allowed the 10% off and the barista course! So @MattH I guess they will contact you saying you can’t have the barista course?

                        2 things…the pressure gauge inside the LM is not unique at all in what it measures, most machines do it that way because it’s the easiest way.

                        It would be nice if LM donated to freeflarum, referencing our forum coffeetime (not to us of course)…Just to see a manufacturer appreciate that the free provision of forums is a good thing to have in this world and help freeflarum keep going.

                        Of course they won’t…such is life.

                          Fair point, do other manufacturers do so? ACS, Lelit etc?

                              caffeinated-carp I am sure I can survive without it :) Much rather have the discount.

                              Thanks to @phil28 for letting us know there was an offer on - certainly spurred me on :)

                              Cheers
