Hi Guys,
im very happy that I found a forum just dedicated to my maschine.. awesome
I bought a little bit older Mini Vivaldi from an forum user (other board)
https://www.kaffee-netz.de/threads/la-s ... au.131357/
This one is, as i can say, pretty good in shape and the extra tools (programable functions via WLAN) are super awesome.. Timer for each day, shot counter, electric counter, ..

I want to get the best out of my device and looking alot for new/old information..
I have the basic double and single shot portafilters (if he doesnt change them).

My next upgrade for better visible results is a bottom-less portafilter..

with this i bought the 15g precision accurato sieve

and this

do you think I'm good with this setup? I think so...
What do you learned with this maschine specific? Do you have tipps for best performance?

E.g.
- I have no preinfusion. I read that it is possible to time the solo-cup button to low low volumes to use this as a pre-infusion/pre-soaking of the puk. Does this makes sense? Is a real pre-infusion kit necessary? Is a bit expensive..
- Do you do something else specific? I ordered a leveler as well to distribute nicely before tamping... will need some shipping time.
- Is there something which realy raised your quality of espresso?

Looking forward to learn anything about the maschine and espresso in general. I have to train my sensory as well as how to get the most out of it. Pretty new to the espresso buisness :-)

If you have basic tipps for me - thank you alot in advance :-)

best regards -and Thanks to anybody who is supporting this nice community

best regards,
Fabian

Get the best grinder you can get.
