Congrats! I guess you know that an E61 machine needs preheat time, my is usually good to go after 15min.

The timemore takes a lot of seasoning to really get it dialed – I’ve had issues with channeling when I bought mine new and drove me crazy for a bit until the machine was fully seasoned. It took about 4 pounds of coffee to get it acting right. Also, small minor adjustments go a long way with the grinder settings.
Check out Lance Hendricks review on it, really helpful.

Good choice 🫡
Looking back from stock I’d prioritize getting a grouphead pressure gauge for the mara and introvertmakes hopper for the 078s
Wood fittings (and feet) for the mara is also nice for aesthetics. Don’t forget to check the OPV setting too
