I have only had one for a few weeks, glad to see I am not the only one that has tried that when a shot was running a little slow. :oops:

Reverse the lever direction, e voila! would it be possible to turn it into a springless lever?

Cool. Never thought of that.

But I like the ability to use it as a spring lever also. Only with the occasional needed help of the "device" when my grind or tamp is off and the machine is choking. Or to have a more full bodied cup.


It was a fun project, I try and cast something new for my machines each time I am casting my sculptures. Have to figure out what is next.
