Hi folks. My old ECM Rocket packed it in and has led me to a new Bezzera Mitica Top. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and have followed my standard cooling flush routine. The thing is that I get none of the steamy splutter I used to get with the Rocket, the absence of which would define the end of my cooling flush. Is it possible I don't need a cooling flush with the BMT? I assumed that all HX machines by design required a cooling flush. Is it possible the machine is not calibrated correctly and running too cool? My steam is great. Pressure of shots is about 9 bar. My pucks are definitely wetter than those with my Rocket but maybe I just haven't dialled in my grind and/or grind quantity. The double basket is definitely deeper than that of the Rocket and I'm compensating with extra grinds.
It'd be great to hear from other similar Bezzera machine owners or indeed any other CSers in the know on the topic. I'm also going to reach out to the store where I bought it but there's no substitute to first hand owner experience, in my view.
