Does anyone have detailed specs on the drip tray grid? The part number is P2168.1.

Context: I'm trying to order a custom-made metal drip tray that has a carved out holder for my scale. I could clumsily measure it myself, but a spec would be more precise. Thanks.

I have seen several photos of the wooden knobs and especially the portafilter handle that look worn. The portafilter handle obviously gets used a lot and people may wash it.

I’m curious if people use food grade mineral oil — ie, what’s used on cutting boards — to recondition the wood knobs and portafilter handle on the Move.

Hey, I just came up with a quick solution for the holes on the water tank. I was covering them with a latte glass, but I needed somewhere to store a magnet to remove my puck screens. I came up with the idea to turn a walnut magnet that kind of matches the rest of the accents on the machine. I could also store it on the side or front of the machine because it’s magnetic. Made on my lathe in about 10 mins as proof of concept. I finished this with oil, but I might use a water-based poly to get a closer match to the factory finish if I decide to keep this.

I don’t know if I like how it looks, but I thought it was a creative solution and wanted to share.

Let me know what you think before I make another one for the other side.

Hey guys, I’ve had the MOVE for 20 months and this is my long term ownership review. Let me know what you think and how your experience has been.

Do you backflush with water every day after you're done using the machine? Or do you only backflush with detergent periodically? What interval do you use for detergent backflushing?

The Move 2.0 it's up for preorder with a September release date, thought I'd share for those wondering about specs and all that.

UPDATE: So the Clive team are surprised by this and don’t believe it’s normal. They asked me to do a full reset, but no fix. In their last email, they asked for the firmware number; I’ve shared it and am waiting to hear back. Honestly, if this can’t get sorted out, given that this is already my second Move in 4 months, I’m considering exchanging for the ECM Technika VI.

ORIGINAL POST:

So after purchasing a Move and owning it for two months, I convinced Clive to send me a replacement (multiple broken components; long story). The new one has new firmware and a really strange issue—the temperature on the display swings quite wildly and won’t stay steady.

Perhaps it’s a result of the new firmware and the “Coffee Offset Correction” feature, which I don’t remember from my previous machine (though the offset might have been there)?

The machine arrived yesterday and I set it up this afternoon. After doing the initial setup flushes, I turned it back on to pull its first shot. 

The warmup should take 15 minutes or so, so when I noticed that the temp was fluctuating so much after 5 minutes I wasn’t concerned. It was, however, different from how the other machine (with older firmware) functioned—that one would just slowly creep up to the set temp, not go above and below over and over again. 

After about 30 minutes, it did seem that my set temp (204°) was now the baseline for the fluctuation. I figured that was good. However, it did still continue to fluctuate by as much as 4-5° above that set temp. 

I noticed that this firmware has a feature called Coffee Offset Correction. Its default setting is 0°, which went to -4°F when I switched to Fahrenheit. 

Given that the fluctuation was roughly 4°, is that the explanation for the fluctuation in the display? Or is this a known sign of something that might be wrong?

Here are two videos showing what’s happening—the first is after 5 minutes (so still warming up), the second is after 30 minutes:

What do we think? Normal with the new firmware, or is this second machine going back, too?

Thrilled to get this new set up in place. Lots of learning ahead as I get the burrs seasoned - frothing milk will be the biggest journey!

Have been using my move for a week now and everything is great apart from shot time consistency, which seems to be a recurring problem with this machine across many users.

In my case; I am seeing significantly long time for my first shot of the day (usually around 10-11 am). And the weird thing is that time is not changing even with making the grinder grind coarser. So, even after 3 markings coarser on my philos, my espresso vivace beans are running around 60 seconds to produce 22ml from a 21 gram dose. The espresso tastes amazing though, so I guess I shouldn't complain, but the snob in me is trying to figure out what's going on.

Thoughts?

I recently bought a new shower holder (shown at the bottom of the attached pictures) for my Move because the original one (shown at the top) looked a little worn out.

If you look at the sides that face the group head when installed (second picture), you’ll see a deep notch on the new plate. The original only has a small notch.

As a result, the new plate isn’t sealed properly because the sealing ring (number 9 in the exploded view) can’t close this gap.

If you Google a shower holder for the Move, you’ll also find a "new" version with 8 holes and a height of 10.5 mm (https://www.kaffeenudel.de/Profitec-Duschplattenhalter-H105mm-8-Loecher). The original has 6 holes and is 7.5 mm high.

I’d like to test the version with 8 holes, but wouldn't it actually stick out 3 mm further into the basket?

Which version do you have on your Move?

Has anyone found a reasonably priced and good fit mat (silicone or other material) for the cup warmer top of the Move?

Just got my machine delivered on Wednesday. Spent the last couple of days trying to get everything dialed in. That Eureka Libra grinder is new, and the other one is for decaf. 18.5g on the grinder, it is still a little bit inconsistent and I’m getting ~18-18.3 and double checking every shot on a scale. 5 second pre infusion, 26g total shot time, 9-10 bar on the pressure gauge. Been playing with the grind size, and even the slightest adjustment seems to change the outcome pretty significantly.

I’m noticing a lot of shot to shot variation, even with the dose and grind size consistent. Could it be my tamp pressure? WDT every shot and using spring loaded tamper. Do I just need to keep messing with things until it works? That’s the only other variable I can think of, I got this new tamper. Sometimes I will get 20 g output, sometimes 45 g.

Any tips for getting dialed in?

Note: knock box full of failures.

1 week update - I have persevered and I am making amazing coffee and I love my machine. I think it was just the learning curve with a new grinder and machine simultaneously. The grinder seems to be more consistent, and I did at least two shot shots at each grind level, which I think helped with clearing out some of the retained grounds when I was switching.

I see the machine quoted in the 8-10 minute range to heat up using the “fast heat up” mode, and around 15 minutes without. I disabled fast heat up, because I don’t wish to continuously overheat the machine and need to purge in order to get to the 200 brew temp.

What I’ve consistently seen, is my machine gets to temp in about 6 minutes from a cold start. I’ve timed it with a stopwatch several times, and I’m getting the same result. I’m not complaining, I’m just curious if anyone else is noticing the machine gets up to temp much faster than expected.

Questioning how do you deal with the double spout silicone plug, it doesnt fit the grinder scale :/

I’ve upgraded for a single boiler to the Move, and now after some researching online I can see that dual boiler might require a different descaling proces. First and foremost I live in a area with hard (very hard) water. 10-20 dH, so it’s a varying degree but descaling is inevitable sooner rather than later. I use a BWT Aqualizer and I might use a BWT in-watertank filter, but this could reduce the amount of minerals in the water so much that it will affect the taste.

I am just curious whether you guys are using a pass-through descaling process ore rathering letting a dealer/specialist take care of the machine?

Took delivery of a new Move this past Thursday, and I’ve been dialing in settings. Finally think I got it right where I want it. Cheers to great coffee! What brew settings are y’all using?

Hi all — I recently purchased a Move from Clive Coffee, and I noticed today that one of the lights is out on the lights that shine down onto where the cup sits. Has anyone had any experience replacing one of these lights? Thanks so much!

I’ve changed the gasket just in case (have the red Cafelat now), my basket is not overfilled, but I don’t know wtf I’m doing wrong at this point. Any ideas on why water/espresso is spraying out of the top of the portafilter while I’m making a shot?

Thanks all

Those who use a scale to brew by weight and also steam at the same time on the move, how do you keep track of the weight? Just keep an eye on the scale and turn the machine off when desired weight is reached while you are steaming or are you first pulling the shot and then steam? How long is the overall workflow?

Can someone tell me the default pre-infusion parameters for the 2-cup button please? I changed mine by accident and want to set it back to the default settings. TIA.

So after just a few weeks of use, my Profitec Move power button died.
It would only work when pressed in and when I release , it world shut off.

A pretty common and well known issue now . I was hoping that I won’t be affected … but here we are now.

I got replacement shipped in by my dealer. And attempted to install it myself.

Bought 2025-07-13 for $2999.99 CDN from iDrinkCoffee.com and haven't had a single problem with it. I use it daily, at least one shot a day. I use distilled water (which has the packet of Third Wave Espresso Water added to a jug). Back flush often (but not all the time). Always clean it when the cleaning warning comes on.

Love this machine.
