- Clear published specification: dough mass, RPM, minimum hydration, and bowl to spiral ratio.
- Owners mix batches of about 600 g that a larger spiral could not grip.
- Reverse helps with stiff preferments, though the 6 kg rating does not apply at 45% hydration.
- A 45% biga does not mean the machine is rated for 6 kg of 45% dough.
- High RPM is for a short finishing stage on wet dough, not a normal setting.
- Stay around or below 125 RPM for 60–65% pizza dough. Use cold water.
