Yeah over time, I agree. But not days into ownership on a very expensive machine. The other two haven’t left the box and are fine - this was fine out the box also. But it has barely been used due to my other issue.
The one thing I noticed out the box was how light it is compared to my previous portafilter. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
My head is close to being completely gone here - the lever is making a knocking sound on its way down - similar to an issue someone else had on this thread (possibly @LMSC, I was reading through thread at lunchtime looking for tips on temps etc).
About to take a video and send to ACS.
There is also a massive seed of doubt that I haven’t fitted the piston back properly - when I pull the lever down with no portafilter the water is favouring the outer ring of the screen if that makes sense? I have no idea if that is normal or not and is exactly why I asked for them not to ship me the safety feature.
