Weber key issue
I can barely even see what you're talking about in either video, definitely not cause for concern. If you take a magnifying glass to ANYTHING, you will find "flaws". I just tested mine, didn't add beans so couldn't see if the ring raises at all when grinding, but when adjusting the grind size back and forth the feeder ring

Upgrading my Grinder Game
I might be preaching to the choir but kafatek max2 has been a pleasure to use for espressos. First time being able to taste all the flavor notes, only bad thing about the grinder is that you won't be able to use it 24/7. Build quality is second to none. Denis gives fast response with email and forums. Truly an

Arthritis and the Argos boiler cap
I was thinking that a strap wrench would let you determine how long a lever would be needed. I had a similar issue with the knob on my Elektra Micro Casa a Leva, and I was able to use a wrench. Eventually I replaced the sealing washer with a soft o-ring/washer that needs very little effort to seal. However

Weber key issue
That's an odd response by Weber. I *think* they think you're referring to the anodized ring that's part of the shaft assembly. I just checked my Mk2 that wasn't cleaned this morning and it does move ever so slightly. But I think that the hopper funnel and bean feeder are a single, connected, assembly so the hole will always move

Rebuild Pressure gauge?
I have a hard to find gauge and wanted to know if it can be rebuilt. I know it might be expensive and time consuming but I just want to know if it can even be done. My pump pressure gauge is stuck at 7 bar. Is there a method for cleaning one? I know I can

Cam/lever frozen in place post-servicing
There's a high probability that you've interchanged the valves. Two of them look the same (but aren't), and there's a shorter one that's obviously different. The short one is the drain valve (bottom most). If you have the short valve where it belongs, then swap the other two and all should be right

Weber key issue
Thanks for the reply. Yes exactly the feeder ring. It moves ever so slightly when adjust the grind size back and forth but I haven't noticed it impacting the cup. I was just eager to hear if anyone else has experienced this issue. According to Weber it's due to coffee grounds being stuck there so I'm gonna clear the inner

Domobar Jr Hx Temps
Ah, I should have been more clear, but this is my source of confusion. The machine has 5 settings: brew temp in C, brew temp in F, Steam temp in C, Steam temp in F, and steam pressure in Bars. Since steam and brew can be controlled (choose one, obviously) I assume that either they aren't measured at the

Arthritis and the Argos boiler cap
That's what I thought . A request to Dave may be in the future. I can just mail him the extra boiler cap
