OK... so... WOW ;D
Spent the arvo reading through booklets and preparing the machine for first use... Had to wait for the missus to get home to use it see :P strict instructions hehehe
So when I got bored with that I came back to CS to read about first use of both the 6910 and the 0480, got pretty excited...
First use:
Needless to say I was a little shaken... from the first attempt :P
Missus gets home, we swing into action... I read a couple of posts about the 0480 grind for the 6910... didnt really believe how different each machine could be... my bad :-[ had mine set to 8, came out list dust :P settled for 16 in the end...
Went for the first espresso... I was thoroughly impressed with the result honestly... definitely could have been much worse from what Ive read on CS :P Dont worry though, Ill spend weeks perfecting it ;D
However I agree whole heartedly with the milk texturing... I got my sister a little sunbeam cafe crema (around $200) for her bday, that thing textured better than this did first go :S
In all, Id label it a great success, one worthy of this post while sipping on my first espresso
Thanks to everyone on CS, particularly those who responded to my post a coupla days ago ;D

First use:
- pump makes what I would define as stupidly loud noises and no water to be seen anywhere...
- attempt steam, success
- attempt hot water, surprised what happened... not sure Ill ever us that nozzle :P
- tried running water through the group head... again loud noises... AND WATER!!!
- Success!!
