Vancouver Cafes
Thank you, all, for your suggestions. I ended up visiting several cafes, and here are some of my thoughts. The best shot I had was at Little Cafe on Robson. They just opened in the past month or so. I had two shots here, pulled by two different baristas, with two different results. My

Izzo Alex Leva - Dosing, baskets, accessories and springs
There is a thread somewhere of my LSM rebuild, but here is the relevant part for you. This is what I use to remove the brass part at the end. A piece of hard plastic that was lying around the shop. Use a piece of paper to outline the four indentations on the brass and then use

San Diego coffee shops
Just to add my affirmation and appreciation for these suggestions - James Coffee was excellent. I had their espresso (twice) and a complimentary cold brew coffee that was the best I have had. During my less than 24 hour stay I didn't have a chance to visit the other recommendations. Thank you, Phillip

3rd broken heating element in less than 3 years

3rd broken heating element in less than 3 years
Thank you, Ira, for helping. The 1000 watt element is on the bottom, so it's not a water level problem. Maybe I have a bad run of elements, but that seems unlikely. I don't know if the rotary switch could be the culprit? I have a new one to replace it, but, I'm not sure which connections
