Those blank basket proven to be more durable then the rubber ones given by the manufacturer. Those gasket are cheap it is about 1 set of mc d meal price....Just make sure you have those industrial food grease on stand by during installation. Just change mine. Though i could easily remove those gasket without breaking it so i can reused back just incase but too bad... Yup.... i changed mine as well, becomes very tight; keeping the old one until the new 1 arrives [attachmentid=8938105][attachmentid=8938108]

Thought possible previous owner modified it, block the holes. It can be unscrewed n removable happened only 2 days back, previously all 4 holes steaming no issues; will try unscrew the tip, seems kinda tight, scared to scratch the shiny wand

A friend of mine brought back a few liters (don't ask me how) from Australia last week, expiring 25th Nov. Apparently this brand won Gold in some Australian Food Awards. I have a carton of milk (1 Liter) with me, if anyone interested to try for their café, let me know. I think my friend wanted to test the waters here in MY for these milk. She did her calculations, and could see it being old here around the RM 7 range per carton. Anyways, interested let me know, I can share my Liter with you p/s: just got it this morning, haven't tried it myself yet, if got time will brew a cuppa later. bring back, not refridgerated, still can use?

I think it's the motor, it'll start for a second or two and stop. Definitely not clogged, I've cleaned it out and it's the same. Thankfully I still have my Hario and a fresh bag if yirgacheffe from ymeng85. The hario is not good enough for my latte but I'll survive for the next few days while I decide what next. Suggestions on where to send for repair? I'm wondering how much it'll cost if I have to replace the motor... thats not good; i'm also using a mignon how much do you grind monthly? i finish about 1kg monthly
