Unfortunately not. The pump was postage free. The safety valve was £18+£3 and the vac breaker was £21+£7 -
@Like Medium Strong Coffee It is a shortened term for Evoluzione, or Italian for Evolution -
I'm quite surprised that people don't like the dosing cup that comes with the grinder, it feels pretty nice to me, although before I was grinding into a baking soda container that fit my portafilter. With a dosing funnel, it fits the 54mm portafilter for sage/breville quite nicely for any shakes, etc though the fork is a little low so some grounds to spill out when I use the bellows. -
https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/ims-competition-breville-sage-filter-basket-15089-p.asp https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/ims-bv200im-shower-screen-15056-p.asp There is an IMS basket for any 54mm grouphead machines if anyone is interested, I haven't been able to test them since they have been out of stock for some time now but it sounds like these are either modded baskets or IMS have started to produce some compatiable ones for the 54mm group. With the IMS shower screen, is there any benefit of it compared to the stock showerscreen in the 54mm groups already?

With the Smart grinder, I found that it does relatively decent with espresso, in contrast to others that say it doesn't grind fine enough. But one problem I could see with the BE is that maybe since the grinder is attached to the machine, it could affect the grind somehow with heat? But other than that, I think it's a solid grinder but for longevity, I believe a seperate grinder and espresso machine would be better. With the bambino, I've found that running some blank shots has preheated the machine decently, but no where hot enough for light roasts, but medium/dark roasts would fair just fine. The cleaning cycles are some what annoying but I generally ignore them since I back flush daily with the cleaning disk (no cleaning soluction) and once every 2 weeks with some cafiza.

Why Evo please? What does it mean? -
With my bambino plus, it only came with dual wall baskets but the sage customer service shipped a 2cup single wall filter to me for free (no shipping costs surprisingly) when I asked them about the availability on the website for the single walls (though its out of stock from when I've replied). I also have a bottomless portafilter from amazon that came with a single wall basket but the basket felt like it was more of a 3cup basket (18-22g) and fines would go through when tapping it on a table so I'd guess it isn't that great.

which reason? i'd only buy them in the hope that they are more consistent. the earliest one is the one i use mostly. the second one is annoying in that there is almost always a 'dead spot' slightly off centre when extracting. the 3rd one appears to flow a lot more than the first (almost to the point of ruining the shot), i need to try it again as it was bad i decided not to waste a shot on it again. but i could have just messed up the puck prep that one time i tried the 3rd basket, that said, i've never messed it up that badly before. all that said i could just use the one basket all the time, it's not that big a deal, with the workflow there is plenty of time to wash and dry it between shots. btw that was a genuine question about your comment about the flow. i don't know what you mean and would like to understand it :).
