    Re: Another "I have a new Giotto, now help!" thread

    This morning, first shot came through ok despite being a little heavy on the dose. Now it came through a bit faster than I would have liked. some fine tuning is the order of the day!

      Ive currently got seven Italian machines of various types (only three of them coffee) and the Giotto PP is the only one which didnt cause at least some degree of buyers remorse.
      Your Ferrari been playing up again?

      Well Ive been enjoying the machine tremendously but it feels like Ive moved from a clapped out old Datsun to a Ferrari. Most espressos Ive made have been undrinkable but the last few have been getting there. Practice and practice again I guess. As for my few attempts at texturising the milk (small steps at a time), oy vey, I need a bit more time on that. At the moment the milk is tasting too milky (if that makes sense) and isnt the right consistency. But it has been great fun so far.

          I recently got a Mazzer Mini as well and got this yellow warning in it. It put a smile on my face and gave my ego a bit of a stroke! ;D

            I have also recently upgraded both machine and grinder. Until you do, you dont realise how comfortable you became with your previous kit. It is like you knew each other. When you get your hands on the new set up, you really need to go through that "getting to know each other" stage again.

                      Steve, I too have a new GPP and like the others have said, I do not do a cooling flush unless its been on for a good hour just idling and even then I do not get gushers of steam and water, just a little steam and after about 10 secs running, it settles down to a trickle of water. Something doesnt sound right if you are getting lots of steam and have to flush before each shot.

                        On my GPP, I get quite small amounts of steam (with trickling) for about 10 seconds.

                          So it's been 2 and a half years and aside from a new tamper and VST basket nothing has changed from this photo, except I am better at making coffee.
