Weber Workshops Key Mk. ii Grinder & User Experience

Hello all. I'm a newcomer in HB ! I've read all the pages. My 1st impression, I am surprised, and feel so sorry for people which backed the MK1 on Indiegogo. Already many problems were identified by the first backers, then there were videos from Sprometheus and James which demonstrated certain negative points which could really leave

Problem with Bezzera Unica

I found this thread on it. If you know a mechanic, that should work. Otherwise, if you know someone with an impact wrench, that should also work. One other thing they brought up is replacing the gasket. "Bezzera Unica heating element"

Breville Oracle - hole in hose | Replace or fix/seal?

It would probably be best to replace it. {link} Might sell them. But if you can move the ferrule up, snip the last 1/2 inch off and reinsert the insert, it might last a while

Breville Oracle - hole in hose | Replace or fix/seal?

I'd say sealing that would be difficult, if not impossible. That line is at 9+ bar when extracting. You might be able to pull the insert and ferrule off, snip the line back and reinstall. I have not tried to remove a ferrule from one of these lines yet

Weber Workshop BIRD: How's the brew?

Hello. I am a newcomer in HB. But I've ordered a BIRD and received it like 1 week ago. I'm focused more on espresso to be honest, but I liked to do sometime a frenchpress coffee, but well, this BIRD is absolutely georgous.

SSP 98mm Lab Sweet User Experience

I already contacted them a few weeks ago and they only answered that I should get onto the notification-list via email. Maybe I should try it again. Yeah, the HUs are really in your face with the acidity and astringency. The best shots are 15-20secs with a flow rate of about 3g/sec and a 1:3 ratio.

Problem with Bezzera Unica

I haven't finished the repair yet, I have the piece at home, tested the temperature sensor and it works good, but I really struggle to get the heating element out of the boiler. I read in other posts that maybe the best idea is to bring the machine to a car mechanic and ask them to take it out. I

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings

Hi @HBchris This is a video I made with my barista friend. He has 1yo black EG-1 (mk3) while mine is a silver one, 1 week old. You can look at the experience yourself and decide if it's normal or not, misaligned or not. In a non-scientific fashion, I tried to equalize most of the other aspects of
