Hi all,
I bought a presso machine absolutely love it. Love the ritual, love the feeling of wringing the coffee out with my own two hands BUT... Ive had the same thing go wrong with two machines. What happens is that the allen screws that hold the bracket that holds the portafilter in shear off. The bracket then pops loose (usually with spray of boiling water and coffee grind) and then the machine is unusable. Fixing it would be difficult because the thread is sheared off in the machines body so would require retapping the screw holes or a new body.
First time it happened about a week after I bought it and I got a replacement from the supplier. Second time occurred after about two months of use so I dont think the supplier will be as generous. My question is, is it just me or has anyone else experienced this fault? I do use my machine quite frequently - every weekday and thrice on weekends - but I am careful about placing too much pressure on it cause of Ive heard the breaking arms stories.
Much appreciate any help cause Im really missing my double shot morning machiatto.
