Issue 1: Brass showing on inside of Portafilter
Ive just noticed that the inside of the portafilter on my Sunbeam 6910 is losing its chrome - the brass is showing. I have been cleaning it with Citric acid - but have only done this about 4 times. Does it matter if the chrome comes off? Will it affect the taste? (NB - I removed the plastic thingy when I first got it - I believe someone here christened it the "Graeme".)
Issue 2: Dripping water nozzle
The hot water nozzle has begun to drip when the machine is doing a pour. Anybody else had this problem? Does it get worse? I am asking because I want to know if it is worth worrying about, as it is not causing a problem otherwise.
The unit was purchased in January.
