ok got a good look at the sticker on the back of the grinder
"mazzer luigi srl mini electronic"
im sure it goes under many names and has a 100 iterations over the years.
and the ECM giotto is a goliath sitting in my tiny kitchen
heats up in about 10-15 minutes
water coming out seems clean and clear, i haven't drunk anything from the machine yet
just filled it with filtered water and then filled the drip tray 3 times by just letting water run through the group head and hot water wand? faucet? and then the steam wand
and then filled it up with more water, and ill leave it to sit over night
all the levers/switches/dials/springs are very used
either its on a hair trigger or its nothing nothing nothing full flow
and its pretty loud
and kinda annoying it reengages the pump and boiler every single time you do anything for any amount of time
like i get it but i wish the threshold was higher
came with a portafilter, small basket and a large basket(i think the large is a 22g but i have no idea what the smaller one is, probably just the default basket that came with the machine) and a force tamper, but no retention clip for the basket so it doesnt sit properly which means when i put it in the group head and turn on the flow water doesnt always go through the basket, sometimes it can go around the basket so i will need to buy some clips.
but they are vst baskets which is nice.
also i just did some test fitting/placement of my scale and loveramics 70ml Twisted Glass Coloured Green
and not alot of space really
i understand that the idea of putting a scale underneath the group head to measure the espresso coming out was not even close to a consideration to any manufacture until pretty recently so i dont blame them but yeh, not used to having things so cramped and "on the edge"
i have no idea what im going to do with the grinder
its so big and so heavy and so old and i already have a great grinder(flat vs conical thoughBeit)
idk, i'll leave it for tomorrow i guess.
