Just started to set my machine up and have found the touching the screen at the service position is not responding I have managed to get it to respond a couple of times but other than that it is just not working. The accept button does not always respond either. Anybody have any suggestions please.

I thought the same initially but later realised different functions require different amount of time for the area of the screen to be pressed. For instance, you need to touch the bottom right hand side to leave main menu and get to next menu with the profiles. If you press one of these once it simply selects that profile and goes back out automatically. You have to hold down a profile for I don’t know 7 or 8 seconds to go into that profile. You kind of get used to it after a while. I normally rest my hand on top of the frame and use my thumb to press the screen. It’s also more responsive when cold

Place fingers on top of case and use thumb.

@"JahLaza"#p14364 It just seems unresponsive I have tried holding my finger for some time and just touching the facia. I could not get the time to go up or scrolling through the dates I had to use the back button the forward button just did not respond.I am sitting here trying everything that I can.

My initial impressions are the same but I hope it’s just a learning curve as it’s not as a modern touch screen these days.

@"prezes"#p14374 @"Meldrew"#p14368 yeah give it a chance, when I was at it just after setting it up I got frustrated but then when you relax a bit it works!

@"DavecUK"#p14366 It has improved it but still finding that getting into the temperature and then trying to adjust is ok going down but getting it to raise the temperature back it has done a couple of times but is just generally unresponsive still.

Definitely does not like that bottom centre section. It times out and goes back to main page. Luckily that way it has not altered what I lowered.

@"Meldrew"#p14377 might be worth removing the lif and checking the lead is pushed in…although that usually affects the display and lighting not touch sensitivity. If you have unusually dry hands, or not got the fingers on the top of the metal above is can sometimes be less responsive…do you have a video?

@"DavecUK"#p14382 It is only that part of the screen. As I can drop the temperature or scroll back on time and dates etc. It has responded a few times but at the moment that part of the screen seems dead. I would assume if my hands were to dry then all the screen would be an issue. So you think it might be worth having a look inside

> @"Meldrew"#p14385 So you think it might be worth having a look inside remove just the top cover and with a torch have a look at the display connector, use a chopstick to press it down to just check it's seated. Can often be jogged loose in Transit. If that doesn't help, trace the ribbon to the black box in the electronics bay…remove the side panel open brain box cover and check it's seated properly in there. If that doesn't work put up a video unlisted on YT and link to it here, so we can see what you're doing and so can Paolo, helps with any language barriers. **Let Paolo know by e-mail. and link to your post.** You can get the link by clicking on the text to the right of your name saying when you posted, and that will bring up the link with the exact address of your post. *P.S. I'm hoping just a loose connector, as they must have checked it in the factory.*

Vesuvius touch display not responding

Cuprajake

Gicar rule the market, why would they spend money when they dont have too.

Meldrew hows the coffee making going?

Are you making milk drinks or espresso?

Meldrew

Gagaryn I definitely am conductive as I have had my fair share of electric shocks in my lifetime.lol. I have given the screen a good clean. Cuprajake I have made a both milk and an espresso which was a bit bitter so I Have set a profile for a straight 30 second at 9 bar to get me started and to learn slowly but properly how to dial in. I have been reading all I can and learn but it’s retaining it all. I have been busy would you believe so have not had as much time to do things. Out all day yesterday at the Mother in laws who is 96 doing quite a few things ,so yesterday was virtually wiped out. It is what it is. DavecUK I dare not ask how many machines you have to play with. I am sure you did say once. I am surprised that you have not got the Vesuvius up and running, I suppose your spoilt for choice. I will definitely get one of those styluses and see. Also less finger marks.more likely buy one and leave it under the machine unused knowing me.

Cuprajake

Yeah, its hard when you just want to play.

What temp setting? Perhap youd better with the lever profile as it will extract less at the end.

Cuprajake

I did watch a vid saying its actually very hard to over extract

Meldrew

Cuprajake The temp I left at 94. All the profiles on my unit had on stage 7 a 90 second at 9 bar except profile 1 where it was 2 bar for 90 seconds. As I was unsure I stopped it at a total of 45 seconds but I think my grind was to fine as the brew head was showing 12 bar at one stage. That’s why I thought I would start afresh. Then move onto a lever profile once I was happy. I will have to have a look at a lever profile to move onto next.

Cuprajake

Im not up to speed on the Vesuvius profiles.

Ill have a nosey after.

I thought they came preset.

Meldrew

They just seemed strange so did not use. I have googled lever profiles but strangely did not find any to copy. I saw someone put that you can download the Decent ones but did not see any to actually download.

JahLaza

I’ve been using profile 1 mostly so far and am totally enjoying the results. It’s an Italian (dark) style roast to be fair so will probably tweak some when I move to medium roast in a couple of days. I will keep profile 1 as is, and tweak the other profiles for medium/light etc. I would be delighted to hear others ideas on it, I still haven’t had a chance to get properly into it yet as I’ve been working flat out but there hasn’t been a bad shot out of it

Cuprajake

Im wondering if they have been at a show they could of been played with etc

Meldrew

P1 settings on mine are.
S1 10s@2bar
S2 8s@11bar
S3 7s@9bar
S4 5s@8bar
S5 6s@6bar
S6 3s@4bar
S7 90s@2bar
All the other profiles are the same.
S1 10s@5bar
S2 5s@7bar
S3 0s@8bar
S4 0s@9bar
S5 0s@9bar
S6 0s@9 bar
S7 90s@9bar
That is a possibility as they could be playing around showing people.

Waitforme

@Meldrew , if I were you I’d just leave it on one setting and run it for a few weeks to get to know the machine.

Too much chopping and changing and you’ll disappear up your rear not knowing what was what.

I maybe could have phrased the above a bit better but you’ll know what I mean.

I’ve had the Bianca for over a year and have hardly touched the paddle.

Meldrew

Waitforme You phrased that about right. Your right I need to become confident with what I am doing before trying to move on. Once I am a little more confident I could run another profile in tandem to learn a bit more.

Cuprajake

P1 is a lever mimic

Id do this

S1 10s@2bar. 8s 2bar

S2 8s@11bar. 8s 9bar

S3 7s@9bar. 8s 9bar

S4 5s@8bar. 5s 8bar

S5 6s@6bar. 6s 6 bar. Shot will be done round here

S6 3s@4bar. 3s 4bar

S7 90s@2bar. 90s 2 bar

JahLaza

Cuprajake each of the 5 profiles has 7 phases of time vs pressure. Your post seems to list 2 sets of (time vs pressure) for each 7 phase. Can you explain? I’ve loaded up the second pair for each ‘s’ you list above as profile 2 and will investigate in the morning (sorry if I’m misinterpreting something obvious in the list)!

Meldrew

So would you delete S6 & S7

Cuprajake

No keep them, but by the time you get to s6 you should have 36g in your cup. If you dose 18g

Also have you seen this

Cuprajake

Sorry.

Thats what it was vs what id try, so the second bit is my setting

Meldrew

Cuprajake Thanks for this I did see the video some time ago and had forgot about to be truthful it was useful and quite interesting except for his voice. Sorry for being dumb. So when you get to 36g in the cup you would stop the flow and ignore the remaining two stages or would you see what happens after the 90 seconds.

JahLaza

Cuprajake just had a coffee with that profile, it’s great. I’m using a dark roast however, and stopping at 27/29gm, so my shot is 8 sec at 2 bar pi and all the rest at 9 bar as I’m getting the 27/29gm at around 27 sec. It’s perfect for this bean stopping at that time so I won’t bother messing with grind. I’m moving to medium roast in the next day or so and will then grind finer and get further into this profile. Thanks for that, great to start exploring now. Meldrew hope you’re enjoying it now and getting used to the screen?

JahLaza

Cool I look forward to that in the morning 👍

Cuprajake

Yeah stop the flow, push the lever down.
