3-D printed WDT tool (Umikot)

Sorry for the clumsy, one handed camera work. It does show how smoothly the Umikot operates. The video of the output isn't as clear as I would have liked to see, but you can see there is no channeling and the shot pulls nicely.{video}

Does steam tip hole placement matter?

Let me know how it goes. Now you have me wondering about my teflon tube, because I feel like my steam sputters a little more than it should. Can you explain a little more about why you felt you needed to remove and re-install?

Breville Oracle Touch Probe Stems Still Leaking After o-ring Replacements

I have the Breville Oracle Touch and I replaced all the top o-rings (the blue o-rings). I found the probes were *still* leaking from the center (not from the blue o-rings).

Is Halifax water quality good enough?

Hi folks, newbie here with a new Profitec 700 that I'm going to plumb in and hope not scale up.
