Looking for a Niche Zero rubber foot
Anyone has any idea where I can find a rubber feet replacement for Niche Zero? I noticed a couple of days ago that my grinder is wobbly and upon further inspection I realized that one of the rubber feets (inside the wooden feet) is missing and I cannot find it. I searched in google and ebay but I couldn't find

Fellow Aiden anyone?
Excellent point, for the same cost to save a shelter animal or feed a starving child somewhere in the developing world, you could have a machine that does pourovers for you! Yes, we are all warped in our values when it comes to our hobbies

Lelit Bianca User Experience
So there are two clear plastic tubes that come off the top of the steam boiler and while the one on the right that comes from the vacuum breaker does leak a bit if steam/water mostly during start up, the slow steady sputtering that I think is the primary problem stops when I squeeze the other tube(I think it's opv)

Olympia Cremina lever questions after group gasket replacement
That looks like more than stale beans. It would help to see the grinder output at its finest setting. Along with your puck prep/tamp

Water, no scale? no corrosion? For reservoir espresso machines
Based on several posts, and especially this one: "Commercial water and testing recommendations" I am trying out the Crystal Geyser Weed source water. I started with distilled with the Potassium Bicarbonate capsules, and then checked out the Crystal Geyser at my local grocer. I'm in Northern CA, and as I suspected, it is from the Weed, CA

Any alternative to Behmor?
Hats off to you folks for roasting on the Behmor for so many years! I only used mine for seven years. Glad I upped my game but I felt like it took me a solid year or more to learn and begin to get comfortable with a more advanced roaster. Just something to consider if you ever decide to

Bambino Plus - shot size adjustment
My new Bambino Plus is fine, but I had to program the shot size bigger than default. Am I right in understanding that when I get different beans, I'll probably have to recalibrate that a bit, and maybe again for the second half of the bag of beans? If so, that's a great feature.

Bambino Plus - loading coffee
Hi folks, Enjoying my new Bambino Plus, and getting good results, but ... I came from a Rancilio Silvia with 58mm bottomless portafilter. The BP's 54mm large single-wall basket (the 2-shot one) seems comfortably full at about 14g of ground coffee. 16g can be fitted in, but some of it will get there via the counter. 18g doesn't seem

Fellow Aiden anyone?
Yeah, that's one consideration, but I'd say the minor one. The major one is whether a v1 (even with quirks and downsides) is worth owning and using until a revision comes along.. even if you just end up throwing it away to buy a v2 (wasteful, yes) maybe $365 is worth it if it is, say, two years until the
