Brasilia club - boiler keep pushing out gasket

Thank you Jake for your time! That diagram is not my Brasilia Club. As I know, that is diagram of Brasilia Lady. Brasilia club is more crazy simple. There is no normal thermostat on it boiler.

Stain on df64 burrs

Breville Dual Boiler 920 little flow through group head

I've cleaned the shower screen and the gasket to make sure those are clean and they are clean and don't have any blockages. The shower head assembly link is very useful! I am getting a new screw driver which will (hopefully) fit under the group head to take it out for assessment

(Ab)using the Europiccola to pull coffee instead of espresso

That won't be possible, as I have deliberately chosen to get by without a freezer. In fact I have converted a chest freezer into a chest fridge, since that is running much more energy efficient than a regular fridge

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket

Coincidentally just happened to use my Moka pot today before reading this post. Have the 4-cup model and normally need 13.3g of coffee to fill up the basket. Today, only had 10g remaining of a light roast Colombian red bourbon so figured I'd brew it on the MP using Hoffman's technique with the paper filter. Poured in 160g water, and
