    Barry- super glue generally works better than butter..........

      It never ceases to amaze me that people will spend tens of hours making a decision, thousands purchasing their gear and then go tightwad on coffee, maintenance and service.

      Five years between services? Sure thing. Clean the machine? Why?? How come you can put your thumb through the chassis? It's only been leaking a little bit- for 5 years...

      We really do see it all and it saddens me on a weekly basis. Nevertheless, repair and cleaning invoices help allow me to do what I enjoy.

      Some owners choose (due to neglect or misinformation) to pay the penalty. I write the penalty invoice.

        What if you used some sushi rice, cooked to perfection, threw in some beans and created yummy coffee flavoured California rolls? :P

              With all due respect you've not heard of plain rice being run through as a good idea - as like the OP you've followed the mistake people have made of mixing up instant/minute rice with uncooked regular rice - MASSIVELY different hardnesses. :-)

              That said, as as you've implied yourself and can CLEARLY be seen from the overwhelming feedback in this thread (which as I stated originally I knew would be the case) this is a well known practice thats not well thought of and on multiple levels is probably a very bad idea. Pretty much open and shut - very confusing that the OP claims to be a 'coffee machine tech' and the silence to my requests to clarify if he used uncooked rice on the rather expensive grinder he was in the process of selling on here did tell its own story. :-)
