Squeaky/gritty E61 lever after lubricating
What did you use to lubricate, was everything completely dry when you lubricated, what did you lubricate exactly?

The Meticulous Home Espresso Machine (Kickstarter)
I believe in March 23 ish they said deliveries of machine starting in Dec 2023? I believe this gave people the view that it was pretty much production ready for a December Delivery with only some small tweaks and getting the production process sorted out.

CO2 escape from a vacuum sealed roast
From observation and experiments with vacuuming as much air as possible out, vs just getting almost all out and not bricking the coffee. Then vs valve bags, where a lot more CO2 is produced and the bag continually puffs up creating almost twice the volume or more than a totally sealed bag. If I re-h...

ACS Vostok 1 group wear
Or a small leather piece that fits in the semi circular groove, as long as you make sure the lever can properly "roll over the cam" and it's not unsafe. Or even one of those small clear sticky silicone dots in the semi circular area....I actually have some (I think), might try one so you don't have ...
