My Breville Ikon at the shop is starting to get some nasty aromas from the PF, despite being washed after each use. These are transferring to the espresso shot. I suspect that it is to do with the black insert at the bottom of the PF that also has the eject button.
Is there a trick to removing this or is it just a case of a bit of brute force (hammer and screwdriver to knock it out)?
I realise that this will leave a gaping hole in the PF, but I only ever pour 1 shot at a time into 1 vessel, so this isnt an issue (would prefer clean coffee over a pretty looking PF).
