Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings
I was able to work out my alignment issues via video call with Weber. Also, my grinder had a defective rocker switch (apparently, some EG-1s are affected) that would sporadically not turn the grinder on when actuated. They offered to have the grinder shipped to Colorado to put in the new switch. I opted to do the repair myself as

Perhaps Sofronio's device will allow Decent to market a new BT scale in a reasonable time frame

Shot inconsistencies with SSP Cast LS
Wipe only tests at chirp. If, for example, the collar threads are not coaxial then rotating the collar will change if the burrs are parallel or not. This is not hypothetical.

Thank you. I am no stranger to DHL shipments of this size and know the drill well. But that is good advice worth sharing for anyone looking forward to receiving an EVO or Vostok.

BES870XL Pressure problem when machine is HOT
Thank You. I do regular cleaning with the machine with the tablets and I run a full descale whereby I add the descale powder into the water reservoir pass this water through the machine, when the water fully passes through I often do this a 2nd time. I'm confident scaling isn't an issue.
