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 just checked. With the 1.2mm steam tip it slowly decreases from 1.5 bar at 30s down to 1.3 bar at 50s. Idle is set at 1.9 bar right now, so there is an immediate dip to 1.5 and then a slow decline from there. Though I'm not sure what this tells you in terms of what it

Greases with PTFE/Teflon (like Loxeal #4) can be a pain to get rid of. I've used it for five years on a Londinium and after changing to Viton (greaseless) seals, it keeps coming back through the thermosyphon cycle, deposits at the bottom of the bore and then grabs onto the seals.

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

Im not a pro heres my grain of salt reply. Theres a couple of places during the roast R0R has stalled

Had an Argos. Sold it after a week. Surprised to see Nurris on a %15 off sale at a Canadian retailer and decided to pull the trigger on it. Eight week wait. Looking forward to using all the features it has and will have lots to learn
