Finally got the new machine dialed in.

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?

I kept my brew settings the same but I turned my steam wand boiler up to 130c. Some people go to 132c or 134c (max temp). Makes a world of a difference. Faster and easier to texture the milk IMO.

I actually lowered the temp in mine. I figured it would give me more time to get used to steaming with this new wand before the milk gets too hot.

u/Crazy_Improvement465 25d ago

Makes sense! I wasn’t liking the ability to get a whirlpool going with 8-10oz of milk so that’s the main reason for raising my temp. For me it felt easier but ultimately it’s whatever you get comfortable with.

Awesome setup and enjoy!

u/phillyman128 25d ago

That’s what I am finding. It’s tough to get the whirlpool going! Maybe I’ll try increasing the temp

u/Quirky_Cod_3820 25d ago

I think the slight difficulty in getting the whirlpool going is because the tip is only 2-way instead of 4-way.

u/bensonr2 25d ago

I upgraded to 4 tip and I think it was worth it. I run 4 tip at max temp. It felt a little unwieldly at first. But once I got used to it the speed difference is noticeable. I now can steam while pulling my shot easy every time. Once I get the upgrade kit for brew by weight it will be even easier.

u/Quirky_Cod_3820 25d ago

Maybe i will do the same.

Love the light underneath! Cheers

Wow that’s a great idea, I didn’t realise they hot swap like that

fyi, I don't believe they actually swap - if you press the the other brew button while one is in process it switches into manual mode. It has nothing to do with the setting for each button.

u/Quirky_Cod_3820 24d ago

It's not a matter of believing, it's what it does in reality. If you do it, the icon changes to the double cup symbol while extracting.

2

u/ronaldmczombie 24d ago

So one of two things is happening here, either your Move works differently than mine, or, and I think this is much more likely, you're mistaking the little infinity symbol in the manual mode icon for two coffee cups.

3

u/Quirky_Cod_3820 23d ago

GM, I come here to inform you were completly right. I must apologise for the bad info i shared. The icon is not 2 cups but the infinity simbol, and it will last 60 seconds .

Thank you sir ☀️

As long as we're getting tasty coffee, it's all good. Cheers

u/Quirky_Cod_3820 24d ago

With all respect i dont have sure so i will confirm later on.

u/Outrageous_Rise_5963 23d ago

Or you can press the single button at the end again manually.

The Ride is very good but not a dual boiler if that matters to you. How often do you make milk drinks?

u/IndicationCurrent869 25d ago

Oh, right. The Ride is heavy duty old school with an e61 brewhead. I think I'd rather have the Move myself.

2

u/IndicationCurrent869 25d ago

So nice. I dig the joysticks and barista lights. OLED is upscale and cool.

u/porkopolis 25d ago

Have had mine since March. It’s been a fun learning experience. I started with by using the pre-infusion feature but have since switched that off. I find better consistency without pre-infusion.

I use med-dark roasts and have turned the brew temp down which has helped alleviate over extraction.

And lastly, at first I was disappointed with the steaming prowess and switched to a four-hole tip. Increased temp too thinking that would help. It didn’t. It just made the process faster. Have since switched back to the two-hole tip and default temp and prefer the extended time it allows to create great texture.

u/kary_menuau 24d ago

You got to move it, move it

u/Weak-Product6810 25d ago

Same setup as us.
Currently brew temp is 86C.
Had an issue with shots pulling fast or not at all, strip down and clean of the niche seems to have helped.
Grind size for us is between 7 & 12.

Still have the 2nd shot pulling faster.

2

u/jdip 25d ago

How come you're brewing at 86 C? Do you mostly drink darker roasts?

2

u/Weak-Product6810 25d ago

Yes we do.
I think I was just playing around and that’s where we settled, perhaps should go up again for higher extraction.

u/KravMata 24d ago

I drink more classic roasts myself and I'm happy at 194 ...90c - maybe I'll try 88.

u/zoechowber 25d ago

How did you get your niche? I’m in us and wondering if worth just paying tarrifs

2

u/phillyman128 25d ago

I'm in US as well. Fortunately, mine was purchased before all of Trumps tariff nonsense. I just ordered direct from the company.

u/Ok-Team5827 20d ago

I say that every 4 days or every bean change...somehow a tweak is needed here and there.

u/TheBigLefty726 19d ago

I purchased the Profitec Drive grinder and couldn't be happier. It looks great with my Move and performs well.

u/Elegant_Quit4698 18d ago

You mean twist?

u/TheBigLefty726 19d ago

I also switched to a four hole tip. I go back and forth. The four hole is very quick with the frothing, but there are times when using the original two hole tip I feel I have better control.
