Mobile or hotel room brewing?

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings

This is all most unfortunate. I would defer judgement till much later. This is a small boutique manufacture, they should be given the benefit of the doubt, the time and space to figure out the solution to their problem. It's in all our best interest that small operations such as this survive and thrive, whether we choose to buy

Pasquini Livia 90 high brew pressure and valve leaking

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings

Rancilio Silvia Help

Is it worth fixing? If the boiler is split (leaking around the boiler badly enough to rust the bolts) it's possible it was frozen and both the group and boiler will need to be replaced. The fact that it shorts to ground makes me suspect the element, another potential victim of freezing damage. Was it sold as a
