Ernie1 sorry, hadn’t realised the brand name was there. Cheers, will look and try to resist other goodies

    Ernie1 Damn had not realised there was a UK stockist……

    I also fancy the sworks funnel - but not the shipping 😂

    Not sure I have a favourite yet - still collecting 😂

      Had one,

      Waste of time really

      Esp on a lever haha

      Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -

      We probably all have a few accessories we use and don’t think about much so here’s one I always use, the simple cellulose sponge. I cut them into 3” x 2” sort of size and wrap the others in cling film and change every few days, they last for ages and so no unpleasant cloth hanging around and I don’t need bigger.

      You know the sort of sponges, packet of 4 for £1 or so from most supermarkets like this example https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-cellulose-sponge-wipes-4-pack/p/0269792

      I have a knock off one.
      One of the few knock offs I own.
      I works well enough to use occasionally on the Bianca but not well enough to buy the real one.
      I have a Pallo as well and it gets used for deep cleans.

      I did make a back flusher out of an old PF and a double action pneumatic cylinder (sort of like this https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwiop53bkcf-AhVUVisKHacpBbEYABBLGgJzZg&sig=AOD64_1h1raZnY98n-3ucPJs3H8Zn3MkCw&adurl&ctype=5&ved=2ahUKEwjy95Lbkcf-AhX7odgFHTEnAb4Quxd6BQgBELcE )
      It is really satisfying flushing 100mls back through an E61 after cleaning.

          Amberale hah that’s awesome, and yeh does look like the weber one. i must admit i do like the look/function of the weber, very cool

              I have a Chinese knock off and the original one. Strangely rhe knock off seems to work better.

                Small blower is my pick. Blows all the coffee grinds off the bench and mine is special because it makes them all disappear. Wife has a theory they end up behind the coffee bench on the floor but she’s always wrong.

                Amberale Not as pretty perhaps but about $30aud on Ali

                Not sure how this works. Would you have a link to the manufacturers demonstration video? And a link to Ali.

                Do you find it beneficial, relative to a blind portafilter backflush?

                @MediumRoastSteam I would think that the backflush on the Lelit E is good enough? Do you see any benefit to this for a Lelit E?

                    It is not designed by the manufacturer for this purpose but MacGyvered by me .
                    It works exactly the same as a blind filter backflush but with an extra 100mls of liquid.
                    It is basically a piston in a closed cylinder.
                    When you attach it to your group and activate your pump the piston is pushed by the water and the air on the other end is compressed.
                    When you release your E61 lever it opens the group and the compressed air pushes the water all the way through the group to flush.
                    (Think about putting your finger over the end of a bike pump and then letting go of the handle.)

                    The Weber device works the same but with a spring to power the flush rather than pneumatics.

                    I am not familiar with the Lelit E and its recommended flushing routine with the solenoid group so, while I can’t see a problem, I would not advise it without checking with Lelit or another expert.
