Torre Luigino TSP HX Espresso Machine w/ Flow Control

Sorry, we do not offer payment plans

Again, sorry, Italian manuals are not gospel. There is much room for improvement on many instructional manuals for many manufacturers.The manual also states 24 month warranty by the manufacturer and distributor which is less than what we offer on our web site.

The machine will not mention the internal OPV, nor bleeder valve as these are internal parts. The boiler refill is automatic via a probe sensor. So, it will fill up when needed and the red light was never needed, anyways.

If you read closely, the reference to the red light in the current is for the Luigino, not the TSP version. The TSP is in place of the red light. And, we have Torre build models to our specifications which can outdate the models and descriptions on the instructional manual.

Right now, we do not have one. We are working on it. The red handle one has lips that are too think and will require a grouphead gasket change which the new gaskets may not allow proper seal on the OEM portafilters.

Q1. No boiler light though manual says red lamp there in diagram and start up description?
A1. Sorry, this was an error in translation as the good folks at Torre do not speak good English. Or, the simple error of not updating or change to a green light lens.

Q2. Assume have to flush steam and prime group head before every series of shots?
A2. Flushing steam know.Flushing grouphead 1-2 seconds is preferred by Torre to clean the screen right before the first extraction.

Q3. I use machine in the morning only usually. Should I turn machine off after daily use or leave it in eco mode…From what I gather eco mode is standby? What is best for the machine?
A3. Eco mode reduces power by 99% to save energy. We normally recommend powering down an espresso machine if not being used within 2 hours. So, you have a choice.

Q4. How do I know its in eco mode? Do I have to press button to put it back on per manual? When I press it goes to steam boost? But going to steam boost takes it out of eco mode?Turned off steam boost and ready to go.
A4. There is no indication other than no steam nor hot water will exit the respective wands. The grouphead will also start to get cooler. To get out of ECO mode, please lift the lever up to full position, then bring down OR press the steam boost/settings button once.

Q5. Cleaning Back flush (Use Joe Glo still have some) but do not run Clean Caf through system?
A. CleanCaf is for coffee makers now and less for espresso machines. Back flush detergent is for back-flushing the coffee oils and grit from the grouphead screen and gasket only.

Q6. What is the button below main lever for? Nothing in the manual? It's the push button in middle
A6. There is a power switch on the left. The light to the right, then to the right the steam boost/setting button. The part right behind the grouphead to the right of the steam boost button is the spout for the OPV & bleeder valve.

Yes, for the boiler refill.

Typically, if leaking from the grouphead gasket when the filter handle inserts) bottomless filter handles require a coarser grind. If there is spraying from the holes of the basket itself, this is common with bottomless and usually indicates particles of coffee partially stuck in those holes. The coffee particles need to be removed, and sometimes, running water from the grouphead with the portafilter upside down (basket enclosed within) can clean it out. otherwise, a needle may be needed.

Great machine! Thank you for choosing.

We have a low budget bottomless.We also have the Torre bottomless with dark walnut.

A 58mm tamper would be needed.We do have an assortment of steaming pitchers. 20 ounces or less would be recommended.

We are sorry to hear and read about this. Although we solved this on 1-1 privately, others can make sure to understand a few things:

a) Learn the differences between the brew pressure gauge on the grouphead and the pump pressure gauge for the rotary pump on the Luigino, and

b) Check the grouphead gasket to see if there is too much buildup of coffee, or the screen or gasket may have slightly displaced, and

c) Make sure to watch our video when there is no crema.

At this time, we do not have any package deals, but you can use the Request A Quote function on the Torre Luigino product page to build your own package deal for a quote.

Ummm.... Mobile catering is one instance, and there are customers who can not plumb when renting apartments. In addition, a no plumb option allows for a very small compact unit. Plumbing may occur as a future option, but it is not even in the plans yet.

Please try to clarify which pressure. When referring to pressures, there is pump pressure, brew pressure at the grouphead, and the steam pressure.

Thank you for your order. We reached out to the manufacturer to insure we have a proper answer:

"We must start from the assumption that it is a machine with a heat exchanger, and not a multi boiler, so the temperature of the coffee depends strictly on the temperature of the entire boiler.

 Based on the setting, from what you write I assume that the machine is in LOW it is normal for the boiler pressure to drop during periods of inactivity. This behavior is due to the TSP control algorithm, which prevents the group from overheating, so flushes of more than 2 seconds are not necessary.

 Automatically, at the first brewing, the algorithm adjusts the temperature to obtain good performance in the case of a subsequent coffee. This is why you can see the variations in boiler pressure, which are completely normal.

 And also, this is why the Steam Boost function has been included, precisely to have maximum steam power even when the machine is in LOW mode"
