    Re: Help with New Machine!!!!

    Whats in a name eh?

    I have done some research and it is made by Gaggia in Spain, aboput 14 yrs old.

    Pulled some shots today, I have found I have to use a slightly coarser grind than I did on the Oscar. the shots dont pour anywhere near as fast either. This is my first time owning such a beast.

    It has a 6 ltr boiler.

    A secondry issue is that the Hot water tap is just throwing out steam at the moment. Was wondering what may cause this?

    But for $555 plus exteral pump and complete service not so long ago, cant complain.

    But hey, you know still getting used to this whole Antipodean thing....

    The opening post requested info on a Versacrem machine. Once the pictures came up I saw Visacrem on the machine which was the basis of my post :-? Did I miss something?

    Tip #1: Get the spelling right Versacrem isnt Visacrem, as the latter has heaps of Google hits. Still not a mainstream machine but a lot more info to start with.
    Hey Greg, yeah I thought so too, but check out the first pic, it does say "VISACREM" on the front.
    VISA/VERSA - whos what now how? :-/ :-/

    :-?

    hmm....

    Spelling the name of the machine correctly would have helped. :
    GP beat me to it.

    Looks a pretty standard HX machine so all the normal HX tips apply, pressure settings, cooling flushes and maintenance. Was there something specific you were after?

    I wouldnt hold your breath on a flood of familiar users, but for starters perhaps post a photo of the machine you mean. That will at least give us a few clues about what its all about, and it may be it has certain design aspects which some of us may be familiar (e.g. if it has a E61 group then we can tell you what to do with that irrespective of the machine its attached to)

    If I type "Versacrem" into Google I only get two hits.
    One for a piece of software and the other one is your post.

    Obviously not, thanks for the underwhelming advice :P
    Before giving up on us mate, how about waiting until the weekend is over :-?..... lots of CSers do other things as well as drink great coffee. Strange, but true.....
