the mechanika slim VI has a different water tank inlet so the bwt adapter won’t work. Is this an additional accessory to make it compatible?

Is there any issue with the vibratory pump being damaged over a period when adding the flow controller 🤔

Am I right assuming This Initial setup' can be used on the Profitec Pro 400 alos ? :-)

I have a whole house water filter/softener that filters out chlorine and other impurities plus a reverse osmosis filter under the sink for our drinking water. Would I still need an extra water filter for this machine?

FWIW, an E61 group has a mechanical, rather than a solenoid operated valve.

Hi guys, I have this machine and I recently I’ve installed the Flow control, but I think something wrong is happening with it, the flow is uneven in each use, for example sometimes at 1 1/4 turn the flow rate can be at ~7g/s but sometimes it can be 4g/s, this is hard to dialing with new beans, and even, if I don’t use the device and leave open, every shot/flow can be very different. Please help me with this. Thanks

This may seem like a quite a superficial question, but is it possible to switch the VAPORE and AQUA labels to another colour? I’m not sure why but the fact that they red ruin the clean look for me.

Is this an ad for water filtration or a review on an espresso machine... wow...

No PID at this price point is a big mistake.
