I missed how you the water dump out the bottom near the tray, or if you are just running it how come nothing comes out the portafilter

How much retention do you get in this grinder? Still satisfied with it?

Have you ever converted a Rocky w a doser to a doserless?

Good to see you’re still replying to this 3yo vid. I’ve been looking all over for some advice on my Rocky. I’ve had it ~12 yrs and have changed the burrs maybe 4, 5 times. Each time the grind settings alter vis a vis the glued-on scale which I’ve come to ignore since it’s all relative. But this last burr swap has presented a vexing problem. I scrupulously clean the innards and the threads of the brass collar in particular. I visually inspect the threads for ANY left over grounds that might compromise the screw. Well now I cannot for the life of me screw down the collar to the point of burr contact. I’ve tried really forcing the screw down (yes, I know, my father taught me to never force anything!) but even then I cannot get down to ground zero (no pun). It’s keeping me from getting the finest grind I need for my Silvia. There aren’t that many things going on in there to go wrong so what could possibly be keeping the collar from being screwed-down all the way? Thx.

I found a good deal on a used E6P that has the single dose burr upgrades. However, this machine looks like a nuisance to use in a single dose workflow, very hesitant

Many thanks for the instruction and dry humour - trying to get my Rocky fine grinding again for my new Profitec Go

Hola mira que lo limpie pero al prenderlo lo arranca no prende que puede ser

Hey man! Great video. I cleaned my machine as you just did, but now the machine has stopped turning on. Any idea as to why that would happen?

What grinder do you use please?

Have you ever aligned your e5p? I feel My e5p is not grinding ok and shots looks horrible, even i have a limited espresso range when grinding.

Hey man amazing video. I am thinking of getting one they are great machines man. If i were to get one i would like the pro x.

Pete I noticed you turned it to brew on while the light was still blinking, (I'm new to this) I thought you needed to brew once the light turns off? thanks! also why did you stop it at 27 secs? is there a science for that?

Pete ive watched HUNDREDS of videos and i finally stumbled upon yours where you explain everything i wanted to know ( im very new to this) thank you!! subscribed!

Great video! Hi Pete. I have a question. After each brew, there is a mark left in the middle of the coffee puck by the screw head. You know the screw head for the shower screen is quite tall. When I lock the handle in place, this causes some difficulty. I used 16g of beans. I wonder if this is normal.

I just installed an Auber PID about 90 min ago and was wondering about the temp fluctuations (which, yes, freaked me out). Thanks for confirming that's how it goes!

Hi is it necessary to have a pid? I’m not a tinkerer and there are no repair centers in my area. Can I just temperature surf and still get great espresso?

after 4 years of ownership and two espresso shots at 22g everyday for that entire duration, i finally did a tune up on the silvia today due to a noticeable decline in the brewing force. I also felt like crap on how much i neglected care on this machine(not recommended). I found so much coffee build up on the shower screen and the entire group head area(under and around the seal) YET I WAS STILL GETTING FLAVORFUL SHOTS. Omg how much my love for this machine grew. This machine is a TANK and probably the best $700 i’ve ever spent with the $700 niche zero a close second. So i spent 2 hours cleaning it today, it was not fun, i was sweating at times because the build up was bad then did the tune up with new seal and shower head. I also dezcaled it for the second time ever. Man oh man did i get some rich flavorful shots and way better than yesterday’s(to be fair they were also flavorful) and i got my consistency back. I stumbled across your video while looking for tuneup and cleaning videos and just wanted to share my love for the silvia with another silvia owner because even when i travel to morocco or europe, i rarely find a coffee shop the brews a better shot than i do and when i do i literally make the trip to that café and i ignore every other café in between. Now these cafés all have $5k-20k espresso machines and my $700 tank kicks their butt in flavor, crema(forget about it) and everything else. I just love my silvia. Now it’s time to service my niche zero as it made my life and consistency million times better. Love my Gdealer scale as well still on my first one and kicking. I don’t have any upgrade for the silvia except for a bottomless portafilter, a pressure stamp a coffee spreader and those needles to break any small crumbs. No PID, just a 30 to 40 second wait after the orange led goes off(sometimes i play around with the wait time depending on how light of roast the coffee is) but i would say my shot quality accuracy is between 75% to 80% on the good. That means knowing the coffee, the grind size for it and doing the same process. 2 out of every 10 shots are either too fast or too slow so i have to dump.

12 bar with no release. With shot flowing through basket the system should be at 9 bar. Your system if at8 bar (closed loop) the shot bar with open loop is probably around 6 bar

The link to the kit no longer works.

Thanks Pete! just picked up a seconds hand silvia and much to learn... but this helps

Nice Grinder, wondering what is the brand?

What's the measurement of the screw that you use for the shower screen?

Hey mate, how did you get the metal covers on the screw stems for the brew cover? I have a new brew cover and they don't seem to fit on. You skipped this part in the video :(

Any the plastic container to flush?

What do you think of the proftec Go

Freedom USA USA USA

I think I know the right word. Impedance. . . . BTW, What do people think of puck screens?

Now you need a new portafilter to go with the new basket. Once again Amazon wins.

Do you have a video on adding the dimmer?

Hi. I have an Auber PID kit that I am about to put on my 2003 Silvia. I have added a new boiler a while back and new OPV recently. The old Silvia still works great. I am wondering how you wire the dimmer in with the PID? Is there a video detailing that mod? Where did you get the small dimmer and box? Just an Amazon/ Home Depot/ Ace small plastic junction box and incandescent light dimmer? I think I have seen you with different opinions of that mod. I think I would like perhaps to do it with a 3-way switch ( On - On W/Dimmer - Off). Thanks.

First common sense video on the Rancillio I’ve seen. Have had mine for over 10 yrs without the pid. It’s been hit or miss and frustrating. I think it’s time to get the pid to help. Very thorough video. Thanks!

Thanks so much mate. Great video. Helped me every step of the way.

Dude get your hands out of the video

Great video, My shower screen is blocked I wasn't sure until I came across your video 😊❤

Pete! We just picked one up used a few months ago, and have been loving the learning process - love your approach to these videos!

Thanks. I've been dialing in my shot prep. and this was very useful.

I know this is an old video, but you did not say whether the new burrs made any difference (noting you could not see any wear on the older burrs nor see a difference in measurement).

Some advice, If you have sensitive skin I advise using gloves when using Cafiza.

I have the same from Amazon in a set. The bad thing is it grips the 7 g basket and back flush basket but now I just use the rubber insert with. Deeper basket for back flush.

What temper do you use?

How do you fix the burrs alignment and do you know how to remove the brass which is attached to the motor.

guitar strings in a wine cork, .22mm snip to fit. bye bye fork!

This was super helpful made the adjustment 👍

Thanks. My rocky grinding holder stuck and won't get out - what to do ???

Can you give me a recommendation on a good single origin light roast to try….live in So Cal.

Hello, I would like some clarification if someone can. I am speaking in Celcius. My problem: When I set my Auber PID with stock settings to 104 I hear air in the boiler and PID reads temps from 102 up to 106. While brewing I get some steam comming out of grouphead Does this mean the water is over 100? When I set it on 103 it is perfectly stable, no sound of air in the boiler and I never get steam out of brew head.

Great job showing and explaining and your right. Just like in fb there are always gonna be ppl who think you have to it their way and most the time they are not even sure about it.

What are your exact PID settings? For some reason after a pull, my PID will over shoot by about 5c - 6c (temp set at 105c) when heating up again and then take about 5min or so to stabilize. Is this normal?

I use a fork too.
