The S1 Cafe - Helping Your Espresso Dreams Become Reality

I have had a Mini for 12 + years and recently purchased the Lelit Bianca. Flow control is certainly fun but what made the biggest difference for the Mini was getting a high quality grinder.

Fabian,
Congratulations on your new acquisition. You have found an amazing resource for all your needs.

You are so far on the right track.
Get the pre-infusion.
Get the best grinder you can get.

Enjoy

Thanks for your info.
My 12.5 year old Mini died and I was devastated. Found your info and got the pump for $26. It is up and running again.
Of course it cost me more than $26 as while I was figuring out what was wrong, I ordered a Londinium R24.

Thanks again
