    Great thread guys, this also helped solved the mystery of my VBM's sticky lever.
    A little bit of lube goes a long way....

      This is a topic that resurfaces pretty regularly.

      I know it had me flummoxed early on in my E61 ownership, I quickly learned that a dab of grease every now and again kept the mechanism functioning smoothly, particularly when the machine is new.?

        I suppose you’ve got to expect that sort of thing when people replace perfectly good technology like traditional lever espresso machines with completely unnecessary technological ‘improvements’ like the ‘lever’ operated e61 machines.

          Worth noting that the lever mech on a lever also needs the odd service and a bit of food grade grease

          Cheers
