hi Guys, Still cant understand the temp, i tried even with coffee but still not going up, tried up the steam boiler as I sed there is a cross that connect both boilers but nothing, has anyone got la mini and can you try and see how much is the temperature of the water during brew ? I

I get several years between lubes on the silicone seals in my Bosco using the Dow 111 which probably amounts to 1 year of full time use. No noticeable issues with seal swelling. I can clean and relube the same seals multiple times before changing them

The silicone seals in my Robot have all enlarged with use. At some point the performance degrades and eventually it's better to replace it. I have no idea if the grease is even partially responsible for this. Would a brand new seal not installed in the machine swell simply by application of a liberal amount of grease? The lower

Do you mean 3/29 roast date with a 4 week rest? Mine arrived. Patiently wait for 3 weeks...or 4

I must say, this is the very first "light" roasted coffee that did not overwhelm me with sourness. That being said... if I

Thanks! The button does have a slight scrunchy noise to it, think this should definitely fix it. I have a big tube of dow 111 but know you shouldn't use that for metal-to-metal surface points. I like doing things up to standards so I'll go ahead and pick up some Haynes Lubrifilm
