    I don't have much experience with E61 at home, thought it piddled out a fair bit, either that or the drip trays gonna need emptying a lot, thinking of adding in a removal tube under the tray to external like other commercials have.
    Guessing I have much more to learn! But its still fun so Ill keep at it.

    Seriously that purple stuff for polishing is the bomb, I even polished our entire kitchen sink with it!!!

    Amen to that.



    Amen is basically Hebrew for "Ain't that the truth".

    had to go for a shot, time an grind is way off, thinking head needs some love perhaps new seals almost as much water came out the base if the e61 as did the group head!
    but am happy so far!
