    Thanks for the welcome!

    Id love to hear more about the DCM opgrades. The new Pro looks very impressive.

    I use Torr and Pullman tampers as you can see in the pics below..
    Any time... Not many of us out there..

    Is that the new Pro DCM ?   Tell me more  

    1: Looks like a double switch (boiler / steam)

    2: Different temp scale (Thank gawd for no lcd display)

    and

    3: Plumbed in ?  (option)

    How do you find the Tamps in the baskets..  The standard DCM baskets that I have = appear to have an interesting taper.  Thus always concerned as to obtaining another tamper...

    Your over there and have a Pullman.. Thats great.

    Double and a naked is great.. Verry little channelling... With the triple basket.. Never any channeling... EVen when I try to get  

    Do you have the parts and or technical breakdown / schematics of your unit ?


    PS. Would love to see a dual display gauge.. Boiler and Group pressure..

    PPS...

    A: Great Jugs  (enough you lot)
    B: Interesting grinder/s  (madly chasing a Vairo  
    C: Clean bench  ;D

    Little bit like this CSér..

      No no - its a standard DCM, that i modified myself.
      There is some info on the PRO at www.dallacorte-pro.com.

      The switch turns the steamboiler on/off.
      No new temp scale - I just changed the knob to a more pretty one.
      Yes, it is plumbed in, but its a mod and not an official option.

      I use both tampers, and they are both able, but I dont have a preference towards one..
      A tripple basket? Cool - I didnt know that existed!

      I have some technical documents, but I dont know if they are confidentiel. I will have to check with my DC-rep, before i share them.

      That Speedster looks like fun! Luckily I have a very small kitchen, so no room for a fancy mashine like that, hehe..

        Care to share ?  Did you take out the main power run to the boiler or to the low current ac signal to the pressure stat relay ?

        Have ordered about 3 different sets of switches and the switch backing plate as per teh Super... Needs to look official 8-)

        Well in the Parts listing..

        OH - I have full breakdown of parts and schematics for both systems.. Super and the standard...

        I noticed that in addition to the Tea Group etc that there were also some extra baskets..

            Not sure if this is correct but, I have been led to believe that the Dela Corta is compared to the LM GS3

              That sounds about right KK.

              It often gets compared to the GS3 and the La Spaz.

              I think the reason people bypass the DC and go for these is the look and the name. The overall build quality is around the same but some people just dont like the look of the DC.

              I love the look

                ;D ;D Aww guys...please...cmon, stop it! My stomach hurts...

                You should rightly compare it to a LM strada or a Slayer.

                Next, the Daewoo which compares to a Merc.... :-?

                    Worked well and most who saw it actually liked the look as it does fit into many different kitchen spaces and has that almost modern look. 

                    Besides it wins hands down over the most often installed superautos on both looks and performance 8-)

                    As to where does it sit... Well it would appear that one or two in Australia have a different view, to many other globally respected reviewers and the stats from around the world. It is interesting that some stock the product, others do not.

                    As to where does it sit alongside a LM GS3 - I can not say; but I can afford a DCM not a LM GS3 and 99.68534% would not know from the cup. 

                    But Bella Barista did do up an interesting chart on page 17 of their review on the DCM.  Then again it is not done by any one of any standing or understanding of equipment or the bean 

                    CD As to the upgrade... Sorry to be disappointing, but due to employment etc I have taken a step back and was lucky an obtained a cheep Minor III which I am attempting to master and beat into submission  8-)

                    Flower pots be aware  ;D
