    Hey Rod,

    I sent off that basket yesterday, you should get it tomorrow.  Before you backflush just make sure you have a 3-way solenoid valve in there, I think it will by the look of it but a couple of versions were made without them at some point.  It should "sneeze" or bleed water into the drip tray when you turn off the brew switch after the shot, not be any pressure in the PF when you unhook it and therell be a water line running directly to the drip tray.  There is really good cleaning, maintenance etc. info on Greg Pullmans site under "Coffe Info".  That is one sexy looking lelit combi BTW  
       
    Thanks Azza, very much appreciated. I am sure it does have the 3 way valve as there is a tube going down into the trip tray and there is no pressure in the PF.

    The only problem is that while you can set the grinder time, it does not flow consistently. I am sure this is because the hopper has a very flat base so the beans dont slide into the burrs.

    If anybody can sell me a replacement hopper that will fit a Lelit, please let me know. I might be able to cut it down so it still fits into the cupboard

          Dont ask me why its taken so long, but finally I have this installed in our new kitchen.



          It is so nice to have a bench beside the machine to tamp the coffee on.

          Sorry about including the pic of a teapot on this forum!

            Nice, very nice 8-)

            are you making doubles or singles? use the bigger basket and make a 60ml(ish) double in 25-30 seconds, much easier than making singles.

              Hooley dooley. RRP $2099 for a Lelit Combi in a sexier box!!!

              Glad youre up and running Rod and hope you got it for a whole heap less than that. I am in shock.

                Yes, gave up on the single basket very early in the piece and if I am making coffe for 3, I discard it or someone is usually lucky enough to get a double in a mug.

                Yes it was good value. We picked it up for $900 new from Clive Peeters and the original marked price was about $2500. We didnt know anything about coffee when we bought it but thanks to this forum and a barista course by a sponser, that has changed. 

                The extra $100 or so we paid over the Lelit (which is the bench top I would buy today with my current knowledge) was good value for us. The reason we went looking at coffee makers was that regardless of what machine we purchased, we had to accommodate it in our kitchen makeover. As it turns out, fitting in a bench top unit would have been a challenge!

                The drawer works particularly well as it contains the knock box and some moulded holders to store portafilters etc.

                Now I just need some ideas on how to plumb in filtered water to the water tank in the machine!

                I was thinking of a small float valve in the tank combined with a solenoid isolator so the water was only turned on while the machine was on for safety in case the float valve failed. I can find a float valve, but not the solenoid so any ideas would be apreciated.
