Adrianmsmith streamable lets you upload quickly video, I didn’t realise someone had issue here, I know Jake mentioned that the videos look small but I thought that he missed full size button on video?

Look this is a screenshot, played from video straight from comment I posted above it’s full size and good quality , you guys view these videos in smaller format?

    Have to screen zoom and quality is 5 h 1 t but possibly me being daft!!

      its easier on pc, on mobile you have to hit the dots to enlarge, pressure reduces as the puck degrades so normal,

        That advice you gave earlier about taping porta filter, a blank basket is going to work just as fine?

        I should be able to borrow accurate device with wires from my work on Monday to measure temperature.

          No

          I didnt tape all the holes 🤓

          Will be no flow at all

          It Will tell you the temperature of that blind basket full!!

            And can you confirm the knob is fitted correctly. I.e. confirm you have no flow when fully closed.

              Yeah, I even did a test with scale how much water runs through,according to some German video on YouTube it should deliver around 210ml in 20s with full and quarter turn,mine does that. It also slows flow every quarter turn,confirmed with scale.

              Looks like im not the only one,too bad OP quickly abandoned topic.

              Adrianmsmith I tried to get into PID settings but the power off and two buttons is not working ,nothing is working. Left button only does not do anything, and the right one only factory settings.

              Ah sorry, so they changed rhe programming

              From memory it takes a few seconds holding the buttons after power on to enter settings mode, but on the older models.

                About Me

                I don’t have the machine, but doing some googling… there seems to be advanced settings option and the PID values can be set there.

                Interesting read here…. Similar issues to the OP:

                The Drive and Synchronika II are sister machines (same as the Pro-700 and Synchronika). One Profitec, the other ECM. Both the same company, just different brands.

                  MediumRoastSteam

                  It’s bit different I think from old 700 , you can enable advanced settings straight from menu, but that still gives you limited access, you can change temperature unit , off set, simple things that are oddly hidden behind disabled “advanced menu”

                  But wait , after holding both buttons and turning on, machine been taking me to basic menu with brew temperature, I was expecting advanced menu straight out, but after scrolling down I got it.

                  It’s

                  There are also more advanced settings allowing changing temperatures for fast heating which currently is 130c and some first installation menu, I wasn’t touching anything there.
