Cam/lever frozen in place post-servicing
Hey, thank you! I have the shorter one on the bottom, the thicker stemmed (and slightly shorter of the two longer) valve in the middle and the thinner one on top. Fairly certain they are where they need to be, but worth a shot! The update is that after having put the original pieces back in (again), the

Fellow Aiden anyone?
The beauty of the moccamaster is its simplicity. It will do the same thing for 20-30 years and parts will be available after that. It's for folks that want a decent cup of coffee with a flick of the switch practically their entire working life. There are plenty of options for more control out there and I'm eager

Sculptor 078 & Ode SSP - keep both?
I have both. I've had the ode with ssp mp for around 2 years. I got the 078 a few months ago. The 078 is finally seasoned and producing some really great cups. As for taste comparison, it's a bit tough between them. They both edge toward the same type of profile. I end up enjoying the 078 more because

Help with spritzers- puck prep
How new is the grinder? 078s hasnt been out too long so if it is newer then it may still need some seasoning. Typically the signs of a youthful burr are inconsistent shots and some spurts

For your second profile, the charge temp seems right but you seem to be doing a long soak instead of powering up right away. Also if the damper's partly open you're still slowing things down.

Rancilio Silvia - Green bits in the steam wand
Hello all; My Rancilio Silvia V1 wasn't steaming very well, so I took off the steam nozzle to clean it and found two small (head of a pin sized or a bit bigger) pieces of light green material inside. Under magnification It looks smooth and uniform so I'm guessing it's man-made and not some exotic form of scale

True, but the alternatives that can roast a full pound have so much better control over the roast with telemetry that it ends up being a worthwhile upgrade for most

The video in the last entry shows how the grind adjustment works. There is a lock at the zero marking (as well as the 145 marking), so it is impossible to make more than one turn on the adjustment wheel. I removed the collar to check for the chirp, and it was approximately at -3. After I changed
