Thank you. Looks like this machine has a lot going for it but the ergonomics and issues you raised talked me out of it. I'll keep looking. I appreciate you showing the machine in action!

You’re complaining about water discharge that is literally on every e61 espresso machine ever. No one ever talks about it. If you’re worried about a scale compared to a $3000 machine you might need to check your priorities.
@abubarista6 ай бұрын
Hey Kyller, your astute observations regarding the e61 group water discharge are noted. When a scale costs $250, I think it's in my best interest to limit water ingress to ensure its longevity. Luckily people mentioned getting USB dust plugs and it's been a game changer :)

This machine looks a lot like the sincronyka from ECM. Can somebody tell me the differences. Thank you!

Synk last longer
@abubarista9 ай бұрын
Quick Mill (from Italy) and ECM (from Germany) are highly respectable brands producing long-lasting machines! When you look at the technical specs for both machines, they're very similar. One noticeable difference is the steam boiler capacity, The Synkronika has a 2.0L capacity vs 1.4L on the Lucca. This leads to better steaming power. But in my personal experience with the Lucca, I've been able to easily serve 15-20 guests cappuccinos or lattes. But if you're looking for a super slick and highly crafted espresso machine, then I would go for the ECM Synk since all the touchpoints are well-crafted and refined.

For the scale, use a USB plug. A good idea for any electronic device. A good point on the timer. I video every shot, so not a big deal for me. You are using a spouted portafilter? I threw mine away. Mundane equals classic. Pitchers are a personal taste and an extra cost for you and them.

I worry about the same thing with my scale. I have just started to turn it to the side to prevent the water from getting in the back, but it definitely bothers me.

I've tried that before and definitely is way better! But, another person mentioned USB dust plugs which could be more suitable for the long run. Lemme know if you try using the USB dust plugs yourself :D

To protect the scale, search for USB Dust Plugs. They a little covers for the USB port that should help keep water out. They are under $10 for 20 pieces.

Hey I have the Lucca M58 machine too, which filter basket do you use? Also which steam wand tip do you use? 2 hole, 3, or 4? What temperature do you set up the brewing boiler and steam boiler?
@abubarista Жыл бұрын
Hey Ronnie, I ended up getting the Pullman precision basket 17-19g! I also the 4 hole steam tip since that's what I'm most comfortable with. I also have the steam boiler set to 260ºF (so I can steam way faster...but downside is you have to have good technique or else you'll quickly over froth your milk). Brew boiler is 200ºF. Hope that helps!

Just got the M58 as well & loving it. Looks like you are not direct plumbed & not pre infusing correct? What brew temp are you using I'm at 204-its then slightly cooler at the Puck ya?
@abubarista Жыл бұрын
Hey Shane, welcome to the club! Yeah, in my current circumstances, I can't directly plumb in my machine. For the coffee I use, typically medium roasted, I stick with 200ºF on the PID and the results have been really solid. I'll adjust my grind setting on the grinder if I need to make changes to flavor. Though, if you use light roasted coffee, then it makes sense to use 204ºF.
