I also have a new interest in watchmaking, which along with house renovations and working full time has absorbed all my time.
Anyway, I am still not much good at Latte art, but I thought I'd publish two photos of my Lattes. The first is from August 2010 - and terrible (although I was pretty happy at the time).
This is one year later - Aug 2011. Still not great Latte art, and while perhaps not my best (just one I snapped to post), certainly closer to the mark. Making 1 coffee per day is a slow way to learn.
I have a problem with The 'sensor' panel capillary temperature gauge. the recessed into a well at the edge of the boiler - it was glued with a white substance / silicone like a white ciment but its messy when you touch it ! what is this substance called? I cleaned it with a towel now I want put it back and need to find that white glue ? email me to " ourida.ourida@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteHi Kris
ReplyDeleteI came upon your page after doing a lengthy search about the X3 and you are definitely an authority on it.
I wonder if we can exchange some emails.
I need a "portafilter locking ring" that is the best way I can describe it. The chromed bras element poking out of the machine, where the portafilter clamps on.
It is Francis Francis part #011001202 gruppo ad elica in ottone cromata mod 05
I am also very interested in your conversion to ground.
I have the original tamper with the diffuser base but it always has been a pain.
You mentioned in your posts that there are a lot of ways to source parts for these but I have not been that lucky.

Many thanks an bests and great you wrote about these things.
