It's not motherboard-specific. It is likely a combination of chipset and CPU-based USB controller causing the issue. So check if B550 has...

If you can't get a puck with the single shot, then recheck your dosing and grind amount for the basket you are using. I use 17g in the 58mm...

The Express doesn't have a boiler though. It uses a thermoblock. That heats up really quickly, without having to wait the 5-10 minutes like...

@AlexD Breville grinders are too coarse from the factory. You need to adjust the grind size at the conical burr itself. You'll see the red...

Sleepycat3 replied to PCHammond on Breville The Dual Boiler Espresso Machine $899 C&C /+ Delivery ($855 in-Store Negotiated) @ Good Guys
Flat burr grinders retain some grind, probably more than a conical burr grinder though. In the end, we all clean our grinders of unused...

Yeah, using filtered water is fine, and ensuring that your water hardness is about 50-70 ppm is good. Water in Sydney is no problem (50-65...

Sleepycat3 replied to C0mbat on Breville The Dual Boiler Espresso Machine $899 C&C /+ Delivery ($855 in-Store Negotiated) @ Good Guys
Not really. You just adjust the grind so that you get about 7-10 seconds of infusion before the coffee starts to flow, and then adjust the...

If your LiFEPO4 has a BMS, then look at the Noco G7200. The newer Noco Genius 10 is a bit weird with LiFEPO4.

This Kmart charger is probably good for a small low capacity battery. But will take a LONG time for a good high capacity battery.

The equivalent to the Super Flower 1000W is the HX1000. I'd pick superflower over Corsair.
