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.

Show us your setup!

CafeNoir

My work away from home set-up….I get bored easily, lol

Alpesh

My setup:

Missing from the shot is a V60, Timemore scales and the Minion Specialita which I couldn’t let go of when purchasing the Niche. Aeropress on the way for my work brew.

DavecUK

Alpesh very Slick, looks good against the wall treatments…are they glass panels?

Alpesh

Yes it is a glass panel to match the highlights in the rest of the kitchen. Was a plain white wall before but this contrast shows off the machine better!

DenisS

I agree, hahah:

logjames

My Setup:

Lelit MaraX

Eureka Mignon XL

$13 Greater Goods Digital Pocket Scale

notNeutral “Intelligentsia Black Cat Project” Cappuccino cups

I don’t bother with the distribution tool

Intelligentsia Black Cat Classic is my go-to bean…they are local to me, plus it matches the cups 🙂

DavecUK

logjames Scales look excellent for the money…very thin.

logjames

DavecUK

It does fit nicely on the Lelit riser with my cup. Would it fit on a Gaggia Classic?? Maybe

I’ve thought about upgrading, but I keep spending my Acaia Lunar money on coffee beans.

Gagaryn

Here is my setup with all my new toys.

Del_UK

Had the Elizabeth for about a year and the Niche for a touch more.

DavecUK

Del_UK Elizabeth looks brand new…definitely looking after it.

Del_UK

DavecUK

It gets a regular caressing with a stainless steel cloth when I’m serenading it. Everyone does that, right??

Msmk0

Here my stuff right now.

Small detail…

Baldrick

Msmk0 that picture is both unspeakably hideous and glorious at the same time 😂

Chivalry

My new profitec 600 just unboxed tonight!!… 🥰🥰

Flat_Eric

Chivalry Just make sure those nice cups don’t scratch the mirror finish on your new machine, the unglazed edges of pots are abrasive enough to sharpen knives on. Maybe get some non slip rubber matting for the cup warming area!

Pompeyexile

Luckily for me the other half loves real coffee too, so she is willing to put up with all the clutter. Would like to replace the Gaggia for one of those nice shiny dual boiler jobbies but the postcode lottery and Euromillions reps haven’t knocked on my door… yet

Baldrick

All ready to go for the morning! Desperate to have a play now but I want the coffee to wake me up - not my 3 year old.
Plus I’ve gone through more beans than I thought I had, so need to do an emergency run to the local shop. who fortunately stock good coffee from a local roaster while I wait for my crown and canvas order to arrive (thanks for help on that btw 😉)

Evergreen88

Hello everybody, just moved from the old forum. Here is my setup:

I got the Classika a month ago from BB

LMSC

Evergreen88 Welcome to the forum! Nice set up.

DavecUK

Evergreen88 Nice and welcome to the “new” forum with all the old people. 😉
