Hi, I hope someone can help me pinpoint the issue I'm having. I believe one of the solenoids has gone bad/clogged, but I don't know which one. I have the Breville Oracle v1. I know the pump(s) and both boilers work as I can do a shot, as well as activate manual stem wand. There are

If the noise is your chief complaint, I just posted earlier today about replacing the gearbox in my Sette with a new one that is quieter, and several additional mods for quieting it. It is genuinely quiet now. If you're willing to put in an afternoon of fussy work, it can be done

If you're looking for a single-dosing grinder that works well in that role, I'd avoid any that are based on hopper-based designs, no matter the marketing.
