the dinamica plus is the worst in regards to having issues with the grind error. Its geared differently and tends to complain much more than the magnifica series. Anyone else see this with their models?

If you only brew for a couple individuals a few cups a day once a month is sufficient. If you brew for a large group or drink a lot of coffee yourself, a monthly brew unit clean may catch up to you.

Safety key doesn’t do anything besides allow the motor controller to accept a start command. The console will wake up when you turn the main switch on.

I see your point about time but I usually cook 4-5 lbs at a time and save them in the freezer. Its the same amount of time to cook 1 lb of chicken as 10 lbs. Economies of scale my dude

This is the real answer right here. When aroma makes it 1:2 that is with their measuring cup for rice and water. If you use a standard cup for rice and double it with the same cup you’ll get 1:1.5. People who follow the recipe as written will get the bestest results.

rice cooker. $30. Done.

For me the brew unit was extremely caked with grounds from previous owner who apparently did not clean it out regularly. Once cleaned out and lubricated the machine, the triangle warning light went away. These machines need to be maintained more often than the manual states.

For about 6 years I've had an XT485. The steps is all good but I leave the main switch on 24/7 and only use the wall outlet switch when I'm going away for more than a week. The console has held up well.

to be fair peloton is worse

The dial stays where it is but the grind seems to shift a little after reassembling the grinder. A single shot of espresso have to be pulled and the grind adjusted before using the machine again. Otherwise the grind generally isnt an issue as it shifts so slightly.

sous vide cooks shredded chicken perfectly. 5% loss at 150f for a few hours will shred to perfection. Yall are doing it wrongly.

two seconds to run the grinder with no beans will not do anything to your burrs. Burrs are fine.

thermal fuses on these are usually 184 or 192 degrees, write down the number before you replace it, dont just grab a random one

no presets on the standard dual zone afaik. The newer ones with the smart cook system have probe based stuff but no user defined presets. You just gotta remember your numbers

the manual shows the difference between solid vs flashing triangles. Its in the troubleshooting section in the back of the manual. People just dont read it.

Use a shop vac with the smallest attachment. Hold it at the opening of the funnel and run the grinder with empty beans. This will blow the fines down into the funnel where you can remove them with the vac. Learned this from an old barista.

mostly due to the youtube videos out there showing the My Recipe button as the reset button for the machine instead of the descaling button. Only two exist, one in italian. I've been down this rabbit hole trying to get mine set back to factory settings when I purchased it second hand...

lol no. Dont put french or italian roast oil bombs in a superauto, period.

I don’t preheat the crockpot. The recipe states the time needed for cooking if the crockpot start from cold. Since it’s a slow cooker preheating might save 15-20 minutes. However, why worry about 15 minutes when it’s a slow cooker that you just have to set and forget?

Brown rice mode on aroma actually does a longer soak with slightly lower temp. White rice just heat to boiling point and maintains that temp. Delay is, obviously.
