are there any tell-tale signs that a filter's knackered? I'm too lazy to faff about trying to clean them - but I didn't want to be wasteful with the new ones I've got.
also - just drawn my first few doubles off the Spazio - it took a couple of hours for an experienced installer to sort out so I'm glad I didn't use a bog-standard plumber.
I'm working with the handicap of a plastic tamper - got various 53mm beauties winging their way to me but it's frustrating not having them now ... so am struggling to get the right pour but in terms of usability the machine's a joy
e.g. no need to worry about recovery times between shots, the trouble with the frother is too much power rather than two little, no more reservoir filling, no more drip tray emptying need I go on???
Size-wise the weirdest thing to get used to is the way the cup-warmer top surface stretches away into the distance like a football pitch
will get photos taken and do a full article on my progression from a Pavoni Pro to the BEAST - promise!!
All the best - a very happy Paul (with no kitchen space)
