This is the conclusion to a discussion that I started a couple of months ago.................
Went something like this...
Hi folks, I've recently gotten an older model 97 La Marzocco Linea AV. I would like to put some flow restrictors in but have heard that the AV models weren't really designed to be restricted too much. I don't particularly need the volumetrics, but also don't really want to do any drastic modifications along the lines of re-routing tubes etc.
I'm wondering if anybody has installed .8mm or .6mm gigleurs and what results they obtained, a parts list I got from the local distributor shows a .8mm gigleur only for the AV, but I'm wondering if it would make that much difference from the stock setup which is only moderatly restricted by the flowmeters, equating to 1mm.
Any advice or knowledge in this area would be appreciated.
Troy
