After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Taste differences with OPV adjustment?
So my pressure gauge was fixed without drama today at Bezzera. I have to say, the more I deal with this company, the more I like them. Easy to deal with and good gear.
It was a simple issue, for whatever reason, the gauge was hooked up to the steam instead of the boiler.
Fixed, it now registers a very solid.....
12 bar. :D
Having read Derrilex's thread I knew I had little chance of convincing them of the necessity of a change. That's ok tho, they've got their viewpoint and I respect a business that sticks to its guns.
And I'm hardly an authority!
So - I've read AM's 101 thread and we've discussed at length. I understand the purpose of an OPV and how it works.
I've read Shape Shifter's account (Wow, berries! ;D ) and know that some people are getting something better in the cup than they were.
But as we've previously discovered, my wife is super tasty, but I'm not - my palate can't yet discern all the flavours present in a brew.
So what would an adjustment of the OPV mean to me? What would I taste? How would this affect day to day operation? Would my machine now choke more easily, for example?
Curious minds wish to know!
