<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I hope others have encountered this kind of problem with the LM Strada steam wands. If anyone can provide some insight to how this can be resolved, I would greatly appreciate the help.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The steam wand (right side) on our LM Strada has been leaking slightly for a couple of weeks. The steam assembly is relatively new; I built and installed it in Sept 2020, so I don't believe the steam assembly has failed. </p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I hope others have encountered this kind of problem with the LM Strada steam wands. If anyone can provide some insight to how this can be resolved, I would greatly appreciate the help.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The steam wand (right side) on our LM Strada has been leaking slightly for a couple of weeks. The steam assembly is relatively new; I built and installed it in Sept 2020, so I don't believe the steam assembly has failed. </p>
<p></p>
<p>When the steam lever is in the <em>off</em> position steam can be felt escaping the wand tip which eventually condenses into droplets that end up leaking into the drip tray. So it looks like that steam wand is never really fully off. There are no visible leaks along the steam assembly or any of the piping between the wand and the steam boiler.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Additionally, I figured we could turn off the ball valve at the steam boiler until we could figure out how to prevent the leak, but after cutting the steam feed I noticed steam still leaks from the wand tip - so no change in predicament really.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This would tell me the issue lies with the ball valve at the steam boiler (at least). Does this also mean this issue is beyond a minor maintenance task and requires a technician to assess?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any input would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

I have for sale a La Marzocco swift grinder with ceramic burrs (about halfway through their life cycle. A few minor scuffs on the exterior but still works like a dream. Professionally serviced after being taken out of the our cafe. It's a double hopper, double motor grinder. Each side is run independently and can be individually programmed. Not just for la Marzocco. I've seen these used for Rancilio's and Spaziales as well. Just do a bit of research if that's what your outfit uses to learn how…

<p>Since moving back to to my home state of Wisconsin, many people have been asking me about my opinions of Wisconsin coffee roasters and coffeehouse. Most of all, they wanted to know if I thought there was any 3rd-Wave coffee being offered here. Rather than just giving random thoughts on the matter, I decided to set out and explore the coffee-culture in Wisconsin so that I could give a more informed answer.</p>
<p>After visiting, sampling, and reviewing the roasters, their coffee, and the coffeehouses of 16 of the 24 roasters in the state I found 3 that I thought were legitimately 3rd-Wave, 3 others that I am calling New-Wave +, and 4 that are New-Wave. This is all based on a <a href="http://coffee-culture.tumblr.com/roasters" target="_blank">Coffee Roasters Continuum</a> and <a href="http://coffee-culture.tumblr.com/Evaluation" target="_blank">Coffee Roaster Evaluation Criteria</a> that I developed for this project, as I wanted to base my results on observable fact that could be confirmed by others. Looking mainly for a PASSION for higher quality, fruit forward, single origin coffee... roasted lighter and omni roasted beans beans that could be pulled as SO-Espressos and poured on the bre bars. Looked at equipment and saw many Probat and Diedrich roasting machines, Mahlkoenig grinders, and La Marzocco espresso machines at the roasters. In addition, I also considered green coffee storage and social responsibility. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Along the way, I also visited 30+ popular coffeehouses across the state, out of which I could only consider 15 of them either 3rd-Wave or New-Wave. La Marzocco espresso machines and Mahlkoenig Mazzer and Mazzer grinders were the most common. Watched the barista brewing techniques and interacted with them about the coffee they were serving me.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In the end, this was an educational project through which I fell like I know Wisconsin Coffee-Culture much better and can give a more informed answer when people ask me what i think of the coffee in my home state.</p>

<p>I've been recently doing a lot of research in order to get the best overall commercial espresso machine..</p>

<p>I've been recently doing a lot of research in order to get the best overall commercial espresso machine..</p>

<p></p>
<p>Whilst I found very little literature in terms of reviews, I was very convinced. Slowly I learned about the scarcity of spare parts and that the company would only sell to distributor, which my region lacked.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I moved my efforts to the Strada EP, which then I learned had its issues, such as the difficulty of use and in maintaining consistency even when the pressure profiles were stored (very important) and so forth. I got discouraged when I learned about the complications that may even have a destructive nature to the startup. La Marzocco does have a distributor.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The <span>Victoria Arduino Venus (<a href="http://www.victoriaarduino.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=22&lang=en">http://www.victoriaarduino.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=22&lang=en</a>) is a beauty that resembles the Belle Epoque, a show piece for sure. Then I learned that there isn't a regional distributor for those either.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Firstly, how important is it to have a distributor? How difficult are these machines to service. What are the most important factors in looking for a machine? Verdicts according to experience?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Thank you.</span></p>
