I LOVE the Argos lever, but I have trouble with the boiler cap (thank you, a lifetime of working with my hands) due to creeping arthritis.

Thanks for the link and the advice on steaming. My steam wand in a slight angle I time it to keep the heating element on the boil. However I found with the dial opened half way is a lot more forgiving that even if I do not time it, it still produces more than enough pressure
