Revel Coffee - Colombia Washed Nitro Caturra
Just had my first cup of this coffee after 10 days of rest... WOW! I have never had coffee that tastes like Cucumber Lemonade. And yes, some unripe watermelon and guava are there too. Amazing! I must say, this is the very first "light" roasted coffee that did not overwhelm me with sourness. That being said... if I

ECM Synchronika Brew Switch Getting Stuck
Thanks! The button does have a slight scrunchy noise to it, think this should definitely fix it. I have a big tube of dow 111 but know you shouldn't use that for metal-to-metal surface points. I like doing things up to standards so I'll go ahead and pick up some Haynes Lubrifilm

Is Haynes Lubri-Film Plus suitable lubricant for Flair machines?
I found predominately across the web that Dow 111 being recommended for espresso machine orings and seals. It is everywhere! And I suspect it is there for good reason because it has worked for many decades on these machines. Plus, it has higher food safety certifications than alternatives. Furthermore, it apparently is working for most who

ECM Synchronika Brew Switch Getting Stuck
I had the same thing happen with my Synk. I applied a bit of Haynes Lubrifilm and the problem went away. You don't need much, just a tiny smear. A similar problem I had was a little squeak, which I thought was coming from the group. After lubing the group, the squeak was still there. It was the end of

Is Haynes Lubri-Film Plus suitable lubricant for Flair machines?
That's very interesting Eddy. So why did my Cafelat Robot come with a little package of Molykote 111 instead of a food grade PFPE grease? Is the incompatibility simply not that important for a seal in a lever machine? Or would switching greases noticeably extend the life of the seal?

Hello everyone, I've been having an issue recently where the brew switch (activated by the brew lever cam) is getting jammed in the on position. I'm not sure exactly whats going on as I've never been able to recreate it. However, when it does happen its pretty easy to undo, usually I just need to lift the

Sage Oracle Touch leak, maybe from hot water hose?
Hi I have an Sage Oracle Touch which has started leaking at the bottom left. After reading and watching videos, I thought it was o-rings from the boiler, but after opening up everything looks fine, except for this hose on the photo. It is sticky and wet on the outside, and I can't see any steam or anything coming
