I got one of these recently and it does the job well - magnetic and doesn’t interfere with coffee in pf. Took nearly 4 weeks to show up though.... https://www.baristaspace.com/collections/coffee-espresso-dosing-funnels/products/baristaspace-espresso-coffee-funnel-for-58mm-portafilter

How long should I take to steam approx 130ml of milk straight out of the fridge? It’s taking me about 60 seconds which seems a little on the long side? I’m in brew priority mode. Pressure kicks up to 1.5 bar pretty reliably after pulling a shot (takes about 60sec to jump up). Start steaming and it holds at about 1.2 bar for the duration. From what I can tell this sounds about right but I’m a little surprised at the steam power - I would have said that the power on my old Sage Barista Pro was better than this. Previously the milk would practically be jumping out of the pitcher once I

There seems to be lots of people reporting problems with various sensors etc. A scroll through the first page of the Lelit forum here throws up 6 separate threads will MaraX issues. I fully appreciate that people will generally only go to a forum if they’re having problems so that will skewer perception but I was wondering if this

Thanks for this CocoLoco - doing one full grind and some WDT really seems to have helped with the consistency! I’m finding that distribution seems to make a huge difference

Hi All Long time lurker, first time poster. I’m having trouble with my sage barista pro, it is wildly inconsistent from shot to shot. My routine is to do a quick purge of overnight beans from the grinder. Then I pull 3/4 blind shots to heat everything up. Dosing 18g of fresh high quality beans (no more than 3 weeks old from 3fe) into the dried and heated portafilter. I’m using a palm distribution tool to keep distribution consistent (I also stop mid grind to give the portafiler a quick shake to help settle the grind). Most of the time the first shot pulls fine (about 27secs
