So today my boss brought to my attention that he didnt like the tapping of the portafilter on the front of the edge of the dosing chamber, because well, grinders are expensive and it might damage them.
I being the know-it-all I am, spun a yarn of how dosing chambers are reinforced for these very things, they were made to be like that. Which was absolute rubbish, I didnt know if that was a fact or not, but has made me curious.
Are the chambers strong enough to tolerate a few taps every few moments, 2000 times a day? Can we damage them with such a method eventually? or did the grinder industry know this was common and factor it into their designs?
