Might be good to get this one going again for all the new members.

@"Lake_M"#p204 So glad to have you guys on board, it's like having additional memory to revive my failing one. I'll bet there are a lot of favourite threads I have forgotten to add…I suppose I was busy doing the structural stuff like setting it all up, the add ons, the forum areas, images etc..

This is my current setup. Nothing too flashy at the moment because I've just moved house. I use the Baratza Encore with my Aeropress and the Specialita is for the Europiccola. I'm not really into milk drinks so it's black coffee, Americano and espresso for me. My partner is a tea drinker. [upl-image-preview url=//i.imgur.com/732cEUK.jpeg]

[upl-image-preview url=//i.imgur.com/SsJrbWk.jpeg] My selection of gear at the moment: Bezzera BZ10 Compak K3 Touch grinder Cafelat Robot Kinu M47 manual grinder Fiorenzato F64Evo grinder The F64Evo is a speed demon that grinds 17 grams in some 4.5 to 5 seconds. I like it a lot, but it seems to produce a fair amount of fines. At the end of every shot, with the brew pressure being released, some fines seem to slip through the shower screen and eventually plug up the pulse line to the brew pressure gauge. This didn't happen with other grinders I had used (K3, Macap M2) I recently had the machine serviced and the pressure gauge "unplugged" and for now I resorted to my K3, which I hadn't sold yet. The Kinu provides the highest level of flavor clarity, but I tend to use it mostly on vacations with the Robot. Boy, are they a pair 😄 !

![](https://i.imgur.com/f6ssKLn.jpg "Pure") Not that great with taking photos but here is my current setup which I am very happy with. Espresso Machine: ECM Puristika Current Portafilter: ECM Bottomless Gran Crema Grinder: Niche Zero (for espresso) Grinder: Wilfa Svart (for Aeropress) Favourite Bean At The Moment: Artisan Whisky Thief (very boozy, delicious espresso, not that great with the Aeropress in my opinion) Things To Get: A better scale, a distribution tool and a tamping station Really getting along nicely with the Puristika. A bit of a learning curve initially as it is my first espresso machine, but lately I am enjoying the results and learning a lot with fine tuning my tamping with the bottomless portafiler. The Niche Zero is also performing very well (far more consistent grinds than my previous grinder) and dialling in has been fairly straight forward.

@"Beverast"#p717 A big favour if you can…**are you able to scan the relevant pages of the user guide… for PID usage and options.** All the other stuff about portafilters and pressures I don't need, although **it would be useful to see the warnings about use of the right hand knob.** I have not used my Puristika for well over 1 year. I had the PID settings right, but of course never had a manual and can't remember how to operate the PID. I don't accidentally want to lose what I found were ideal settings. I did do some modifications on mine and might share the PID settings if people are interested. *P.S. You could even photograph them*

@"DavecUK"#p718 Hi the user manual for the Puristika can be found here: [Puristika](https://www.ecm.de/fileadmin/manual/BA_ECM_Puristika_09-2021.pdf) It's in German and English and is exactly the same as the physical manual I received with the machine.

Thanks for the tip 🙂 Mine my be a little different as it's a prototype produced in 2019. However, I am sure my settings and probably the modification I made is still relevant.

A couple of Ceado grinders; the big E92 conical for single dosing fitted with a ‘blow up’ bellows, the E37s for churning out my ‘house’ bean. A Pulman Big Step tamper, which is being used with a 20g ridgeless VST. Made a huge improvement to my prep game. The GS3 replaced a La Spaziale mini Vivaldi which was a great little dual boiler, but did suffer a little from temperature stability issues.

Hello All,

Still a work in progress but getting there.

For the bullet I use a cloudline 6in fan to get out the window:

Still getting used to the higher steam pressure but quickly getting there

KyleT

My new setup. Lelit Elizabeth arrived yesterday. Already producing some lovely espresso. @DavecUK has cost me a pretty penny over the years with his reviews 🤣

KyleT

headstar hi, is that the William PL72 grinder? If so how are you finding it? You don’t hear much about it on the forums. It even seems hard to get hold of in the UK.

headstar

KyleT hi, yes it is PL72. I do not have any comparison to other grinders as this is my first one. I cannot complain about it, grinding is consistent in my opinion. I have added 3 small balls and springs to the control wheel so I can adjust by 0.25 (comparing to 0.5 by default). Maintenance is very easy.

tompoland

Malwani Livi (83mm conical burr hand grinder) finally arrived. From left to right: Mawani, Strietman CT2, EG-1 and Decent DE1XL.

dutchy101

Updated with spray printed 3D accessories.

Kimmo

Temporary set, waiting for new gear.

CoyoteOldMan

Kimmo Temporary perhaps, but very nicely zen and minimalistic!

Kimmo

This is what I’m waiting to get delivered next week.

CoyoteOldMan

That looks very nice. And very expensive.

Here is my setup for roasting, placed under the kitchen extractor fan:

and here for preparing espresso and brewing coffee:

Cheers,

Albert

Penance

As of this week. Will have some more space eventually, when the kitchen is finished.

Inspector

Penance hope it’s not a rdt bottle, the one poking it’s cap out behind the portafilter 😆

Penance

Inspector it is! Though unused and now in a drawer.
