Re: The LaSpaziale S1 Family Of Machines Needs A Serious Refresh!
I thought my S1 Mini V2 looked dated in a good way when I bought it, and still does. My Mazzer Mini has a little lightbulb when it’s grinding instead of an LED, fine with me. 10 years of great coffee from both so far. I don’t obsess over the details enough to know what I’m missing. I won’t replace e...

Re: Ethiopia Roasted there and packaged
Would 'roasted there' have any taste advantage over 'roasted here', or is roasting there more for fair trade reasons?

Re: automatic dosing not working
Good to know that they've improved- it's been the only small flaw in a product that's been otherwise perfect. At the time it seemed expensive but 9 years later it feels like a bargain!

Re: automatic dosing not working
I know this is an old thread but I want to say thanks for helping to diagnose the dosing issues that I had. My machine refused to dose at all from day 1- I would set up the dosing, and then when I tried it out by hitting the single/double button the water would just run and run. I followed instructi...

Re: Setting up Mini S1 after sitting idle for 1 year
I forgot to reply- thanks for the advice. I emptied and opened up both boilers, inspected for rust and didn't find any. I've had almost 7 trouble-free years of use since then, fingers crossed! In the middle of that time I moved across Canada and emptied and cleaned and inspected everything again as ...

Re: Silicone Gasket Longevity
I bought 3 from Steve in 2012, still on my first. I switched to the second a couple of years ago, but the first would probably work- it discoloured and compressed slightly, but didn't compress as much as the original black rubber. I kept the first one as it's probably still usable.

Re: Inconsistent volumetric dosing
The volumetric dosing on my mini Vivaldi II didn't work at all from day 1. Based on what I read here I stripped it down and removed the usual brass shavings from inside the little doser spinner thing, and it has worked perfectly and consistently ever since.

Setting up Mini S1 after sitting idle for 1 year
I have a La Spaziale Vivaldi II Mini S1, about 2.5 years old. It has always worked fine; I simply used it and occasionally cleaned and descaled, there were no problems. 1 year ago I stopped living at the same address as my S1 (long story...), and from that time until now it just sat there; it was ne...
