Subject: I'm Confused

In my upgrade process I began considering the Venus with PID, some
recommended to evaluate getting a HX, as the Anita. This because of
the consistency of temperature, the frothing advantage, among other
stuff. After reading a lot, I decided to get an Anita with a M4.
Now I have noticed that isn't as simple like that. The HX needs a
cooling flush to get the appropriate temperature and to monitor it a
mod must be installed. My doubt is: when is necessary to make the
cooling flush? Before each espresso?
Thanks for your comments and help

I personally brought such examples of quality to the attention of the
very pleasant but very english limited Gianni Casaliggi when I was at
the SCAA show in Charlotte this year.
He handed me a kilo of coffee and thanked me. I am certain he did not
understand anything I was saying.
Grazie!!

My Isomac Gran Banshee, I mean Macinino, had three different size
screws, all with different heads, holding the motor and gear assembly
to the chassis, the spacers were .040 different giving a nice tapered
look if you didn't mind the gap, one of the bolts in the gear case was
stripped, the upper burr carrier is about .030" too small, the wiring
- egads!

Ed, My Isomac Millenium had its factory installed SSR mounted with double-sticky
tape. It lasted about a year before it blew. Replaced it with a higher amp
version, bolted down and bedded in thermal grease and 3 years later it is still
running fine. Other than that, I have no issues with Isomacs. One importer said
that the factory stopped using double-sticky tape about two years ago.

I wasn't lecturing you Dave, just hoping you would firstly give a
decent reasoned answer to the OP, and secondly, use a news group
correctly.
But great, I'll carry on politely requesting that you at least try to
stay within the boundaries of usenet etiquette and give helpful
replies whilst you continue spamming your business, and your less than
helpful as well as sometimes rude posts will be archived for others to
see who they would be dealing with if they ever thought of doing
business with you.

No problem. I was surprised at your post, since I thought you
wouldn't dissaprove of my at least attempting to get Dave to follow
usenet etiquette even if he will not post anything useful or stop
shilling his business in a non-commercial group. I'm a glutton for
punishment and occasionally feel the need to trim his feathers before
he makes this group any more unenjoyable.

A knowledgeable person could probably tweak one of our kits and pull it
off, but we don't have anything designed specifically for these HX
machines (our product development staff is getting further behind all
the time).
Judging from sales and RFI's through our web site, there must still be
a few not-yet-PID'd Silvia's out there. So we'll be content with
shipping out [x] Silvia kits each month and leave the HX mod's alone
for now.
But we're always open to offering advice (worth exactly what it costs)
and having PID conversations with folks - even with Robert ;-}

Instead of one line replies with zero information, why don't you
expand on why you don't recommend a particular machine, which might
help the OP better.
By the way, although I'm sure it's a result of you not using a news
client to read newsgroups, but would you mind refraining from posting
everything twice and changing the subject line in most of your posts.
The subject line is there for a purpose - to group together posts in
a thread. You could of course use a news client such as Agent (or
even the news client built into Mozilla etc) at zero cost apart from a
nominal charge for a news service, such as individual.net.

Just in time for Christmas, the price of the Vibiemme Super Manual
Stainless has just increased from $1,299 to $1,459 (a touch more than
12%). New price seen at both Stefano's and 1st-Line. This puts the
price roughly on par with the rotary pump, convertible Alex Izzo vs.
the Vibiemme's 41 watt Ulka cited on Stefano's page

If Jim can't (won't) provide a kit he does provide great help in making the
conversion. With his advice I converted a Bunn ES-1A to PID & am working on
a Nuovo Simonelli Mac Digit. Once a good plan of attack is developed the
actual work takes but a few hours to complete.

I upgraded over the course of 8 years from a lower end Gaggia, then a
Silvia and now a Quick Mill Andreja Premium with a Rocky grinder.
I've been roasting my own green for 6 months.
For the cooling flush 22 seconds if the machine has been preheated at
least 25 minutes or more, and it's your first shot. But to check my
temps, I got a digital thermometer here,
http://sweetias.com/prod.roastkits.shtml and put the probe in a very
shallow styraphome cup. Apparently to get 191 degrees at the top of
the coffee, you subtract a few degrees for a good reading of the
cooling flush into the styro cup below the empty portafilter. It seems
like a lot to do, but 22 seconds gets me 191 degrees every time, so I
don't bother with taking readings any more. You can also try a longer
or shorter cooling flush and you should notice a taste change.
Subsequent shots are the correct temp after a few minutes like about
the time it would take to dump the puck, and froth a milk.
I bought the kit to plumb my Andreja myself which is such a relief and
time saver. The noise of the motor doesn't bother me at all. I'm
getting amazing straight shots out of this machine. Also with the
correct frothing tip and just the right amount of milk, I can get
microfoam to die for. The tip that comes with the Andreja is for
frothing a big thing of milk. I got a small tip from espressoparts.com
and it works best for about 5 oz of milk in a small frothing pitcher.

From reading all over the net, I think that it really depends on what
you want in the cup. And that is what all the temp stability is about.
So when my HX comes in, I expect to be doing plenty of experimenting to
get it the way I want in the cup, nothing else matters.
I saw a table somewhere about how long to flush based on how long the
machine sat idle. And another place said that you only needed to do it
for the first cup if you were doing many cups in a row.
So the answer is do the flush before the first cup if it has been
sitting idle to bring the temp down. How long and how long after the
flush do you make the cup? I'm not sure. That seems like it will take
some fiddling. But if it turns out like my Silvia, once I get the feel
for it, it will be automatic.
I think the reason it is so personal is the difference in our taste
buds. There are some that say they can tell the difference with just a
1 degree change in temp, I can't. So I suspect that my flushing will
not need to be as precise as those with those educated taste buds.
The Quickmill product was definitely in the running right up to the very
end. And the decision was because of features, not quality. The
quality of both, heck the quality of all the E61 HXs is superb. It is
what made it so difficult.
But in the end, I had the money and the Alex had the two features over
and above everyone else.
1. Plumb-in or pourover at the flip of a switch.
2. Rotary pump in a pourover
#1 is important because it allows me to run in plumbed in at the house.
Much more convenient than pourover. Depending on exactly where I
install it, I may also have direct drain. I'll know that when I get it
in and get it out of the box. It is big, you know.
#2, I like relative quiet and the rotary pump does that. No other
pourover has a rotary pump.
