Yes, the switch stays on. It is not a momentary switch.

Ja das geht, die seitenwand ist baugleich mit der bz10

Yes it can be bought separately, it does not fit to VBM and some machines with high front chassis

​@@TheEspressoTV Hello Marcus, no problem to install this on a rocket appartamento? knowing that I am not gifted in "do-it-yourself", it will be ok? Won't it damage it?

That chance of damage is very low. You shall exchange in an easy way. The lower part of the rocket mushroom is ceramic

Only the Bezzera Aria Classic is comparable to the Pro400. Pro400has in addition a possible 3 different temperature levels due to the NTC Sensor at the machine bottom.

You can do it by putting a rotation on the joystick, saw it in another video.

One is a heat exchanger, the other one (pro600) is a dual boiler. I personally prefer always rotary pumps, so if i were you i would choose acc to design and personal intuition. Difficult decision. This is why i choose by intuition. Both make excellent coffee. Also important: use water with low calcium, do not decalcify yourself

@@TheEspressoTV thanks for your thoughts. If rotary pump is one of the checklist, then bezzera aria is the choice to made then. I totally agree with you that it is so hard to choose between this 2 machine, as they both look very similar in terms of performance and design wise, unless of the pump for sure.

I believe a rotary pump is significant. In domestic setting, the difference between heat exchanger and double boiler is not much (I assume you ONLY pull few shots at a time), both machines provide excellent consistency. However the price difference between HX machine and DB machine, would allow you to invest a good grinder. For me, grinder is more essential for good espresso. That’s why if I were you, I will definitely go for Bezzera Aria.

@@mtpastor4546 the rotary pump is just so hard to be missed right. I am currently using a specialita which I think has really sufficient for my current usage. Thank you for the thought MT.

@@gavinchrisaputra352 I tried Eureka Specialita before, it is a quiet, consistent, fluffy grinder. I feel it is the best within its price range. The only downside is it cannot interchange the burrs like SSP. However, do we really nice SSP? For me not necessary.

I don’t know. I only know the delivery situation for the German market

No equal distribution of the coffees powder before tamping and maybe not enough coffee

@@TheEspressoTV Thanks for the feedback. Im using between 11grams and 14grams of ground coffee, even distribution and well tamped. Ive had mixed results from very watery extract with 11 grams in the single dose basket rated at 10grams. Im beginning to think if its the gasket on the head needs bedding in as its a new machine. Other than that the only thing I can think of is possibly the portafilter not letting the basket snap in far enough down as there is a small gap around the basket and top of portafilter. Going to try and get more pressure on the portafilter when inserting to try and get a better seal. How would you suggest using the flow control to get more crema?

we can get in the states easily

@@gosman949yeah May be now but in 2022 they were not being shipped. At least that’s what I was told

I cannot tell you, I need to see it, can you please send me a video link ? Then it is easier for me to give a comment.

@@TheEspressoTV thank you for your reply. I will, as soon as I have it fixed under warranty. (3 days in and the steam boiler stopped filling in automatically😭).

@@TheEspressoTV came back from service. Water sensor in the boiler had the teflon cover broken they say and now is fixed. But ovp was set wrongly and the tray was filling with water extremely fast. Pump is at 10 bar, I will lower it. And finally when home the flow control got stuck and so I found out why it was turning so little: The screw with the whole for the flow needle was not properly screwed in, actually it came out! Now with it fully screwed in I can turn the flow control 1 and 3/4 turns, maybe a bit more. By the way the screw tap in the drain is impossible to unscrew! ( the dealer had another without the screw in, as delivered from Bezzera) So if anyone is planning to plumb it in… make sure you check that. I wonder how reliable will this machine be. I can only hope that was the end of the problems with it, but between Bezzera who claims they check every machine, and the dealer who says it does the same with all the machines I still ended up with a problematic unit. Did the quality control guy retired and is enjoying the pension years or what?! Since there is a new rotary “on the streets” I guess we should see a pro500 with one.

What a story. Up to now i never saw a manufacturer without producing machines without mistakes. But stil the dealer can improve his maintenance dpt. setting the rotary pump at 10 bar is a no go. The flow control i mainly use in a small range between 3 bar any 9 bar. Ciaoo Markus

@@TheEspressoTV thank you Markus for the reply (s). You’re right, only the ones not doing anything don’t make mistakes. There’s also the possibility it was finished just before “pranzo” :) (Luca owes you a beer at least)

Ricardo, please elaborate on your Thyristor mod. I would like to do this

too complicated. You must be an engineer! hahahaha

Traktor würde ich nicht sagen, aber für 300 Euro top. Mein Spitzname ist Currywurst Schneider

Sehe ich auch so. Mehrere Umdrehungen sind unübersichtlich und es ist immer ein bisschen „Blindflug“. Die halbe oder dreiviertel Umdrehung bei Lelit gefällt mir da auch viel besser. So kann man sich viel besser merken, bei welcher Stellung ungefähr welcher flow bzw. Druck anliegt.
