I feel like my biggest gripe that has made me trigger shy to buy one is the lack of boiler water level visibility. Then also the process of having to refill it and it runs hot enough to burn you on, what seems to be, a significant amount of the machine. Anyone else feeling like the boiler level

Algerian Coffee Stores if you can handle robusta. Monmouth is OK. They source their own sugar which is pretty unique. Report back if you find anything noteworthy

Consider Beanconqueror. It keeps track of your brews and beans. It also can connect to your scale. You can repeat your brew and the last setting come up and can be modified

It is a very weird design choice. I might get lucky though and find something in those old-school hardware stores. I've verified the dimensions. It's a non-tapered thin rubber foot measuring 20mm in outer diameter and 18mm in height, with one end nearly capped, leaving a 7mm opening. Despite scouring the internet, the closest match I found was

I have tried Len's roasted Liberica only a few times so I don't know how consistent they are from batch to batch.
