This actually sounds like a decent mode of operation for the OPs use case. I see a couple of downsides though - 22lb is a lot of beans, and you might be very bored before you can finish a box. The other issue is the type of coffees that are available as Crown Jewels: if you like fruity light roasts

The pipette/Capillary is full of water, no "air cushion" between the pump and the bourdon tube. Open both ends of the capillary (if not soldered at the gauge) and blow the liquid out. Or, if it's soldered in the gauge, open only the pump end and use a cigarette lighter to heat the copper tubing and boil the

Anyone has same issue where the needle of Bezzera Magica would reach the max bars set but needle shake/oscillates ?
