Interesting about the slightly wet pucks. My 17 year old Gaggia Baby Class D produced almost bone dry pucks but my new Lelit Elizabeth annoyingly always seems to have slightly wet pucks.
But it’s making incredible coffee so I don’t really want to fuck about it with any more.I wouldn't mess with it if the coffee is tasting good. Dry vs wet pucks are always a factor of headspace between the puck and shower screen in my experience, and has no impact or is any indicator of the coffee itself.

Yeah I’m not going mess about it with it. They aren’t exactly soaking, just not bone dry like my old machine.
There’s some guy called Dave who seems to be prominent on all the UK coffee forums, he seems to be a a fountain of knowledge with Lelit machines. Mine has an advanced settings menu that can have all sorts of parameters changed that I simply don’t understand. This Dave chap has published how he thinks they should be set, from what I’ve read, it seems it could rectified slightly wet pucks but I don’t even understand exactly what I’d be changing and what the effects/trade offs would be.As sad as it is, my flat white ritual in the morning is the best part of my day. I can’t risk change.

Jesus Neil, I hadn’t noticed that you’d got the LM. You big mad bastard! Congratulations :)
I’ve been using my Niche Zero for a few months now and it’s been absolutely flawless.
Does this mean that you’ll have both the conical and flat burr machines to compare side by side once the Zero has completed it it’s sea journey? Be interesting to hear what differences yous find, if any!
