They're a little smaller than the baskets that came with the LM comp machines last year and I've generally found that if you try to dose as high as on the LMs you'll have problems locking in the portafilter.

Well they call them an 18 but like evrything that doesn't quite mean much in actual grams that fit in the basket!!

The machines are the Nuova Simonelli Aurelia, they are NOT the WBC machines as they are not available yet. However Nuova Simonelli Australia has modified the machines to closely match the specs set by WBC.
Boiler Pressure 1.0 bar
Group head Temp as per WBC between 90.5 an 96.5 at group
Pump Pressure 9 bar under load
Steam nozzles 1.2mm
Nuova will SCASE test on site before competition.

Does everyone understand that the Open heats are on the FRIDAY 30th JAN on the Gold Coast and there are only a limited amount of spaces available.

Hi there all,
What boiler pressure?
Group head temp?
Pump pressure?
Steam nozzles (2 available on the Aurilia)
will the machines for the barista comps be using? Are the machines SCASE tested? Or should we bring our own?
Will appreciate accurate answers on the above questions -
thanks! :)
