I don't know for a fact that the increase in diameter is the cause of the symptoms. I could slather a thick coat of Molykote 111 on a brand new seal just

Canadian Roaster Recommendations
To be fair, I did like the Bad Boy Espresso blend I had from Brulerie. The other offerings were just ... not good to me.
