Is this boiler salvageable
OK, mistakenly thought the fitting was removed based on the inside view of the boiler (the last photo) showing clean threads (clearly not extractor grooves), which means the fitting is stuck below the threads in that view. This also explains why in the 3rd photo the fitting hole is eccentric, which I thought was odd. Well, this eccentricity makes

Mazzer Philos Comments
Is the stepped adjustment clicky? I.E. Is there any tactile feedback when making adjustments? Can you make stepped adjustments just by touch or do you have to look at the adjustment dial if you wish to make a grind setting change? I'm blind and have been in search of an all purpose stepped electric grinder as stepless simply wouldn't

Fellow's new brewer - Aiden Q&A
I highly doubt we will do a 3rd basket. About 6 months of R&D went into single serve, and I really went through the gamut. No plans for a plumbed in version. Nick

What machine is it? - hello from PerĂº
It has a Cimbali gauge. The overall build resembles a Cimbali M15 or earlier 2 group lever machine, maybe something distrubuted to the South American market? There should be some info on the machine's factory ID plate

ACS waiting times
I do wonder if that might be why mine shipped in March but was supposed to ship near the end of January? I ordered my Vostok with the safety system near the end of Dec 2023. I wanted the safety system more for the screwed in shower screen. I don't really like the spring loaded metal wire holding in

Blueberry (or any berry) bomb coffee recommendations?
Kingdom Coffee Roasters is selling a Kenya Narok Mara thats very berry forward. I'm not getting blueberry exactly, but the burrs on my sette tend to muddle fruit forward flavors. I'd love to try these with a higher clarity burr. So far its one of the more berry forward coffee's I've had lately

Mazzer Philos Comments
Pure wattage at least is supposed to be higher in the Philos (400W) than Super Jolly (350W). I've been using SSP burrs in a 250W Mazzer Mini E for years without a single stall (both hopper fed and single dosing).
