DavecUK Hi, thanks for your advice about the noise I was getting. I reduced the pressure (9.0) no noise and a better taste and feel to my coffee. I just don’t understand why the shop didn’t tell me about it, or, actually do it for me, the machine has been in use for only 7-8 weeks. I have been so worried about it. They just said it will get better by itself, when actually, it did nothing but increase from 10% of the time to 95% of the time. I asked them how much is my machine now worth, with all the noise it’s making. They didn’t answer. That just increased my stress. I have a son, he is low function autistic non-verbal with life-threatening Epilepsy. He has a mental age of between 2-10 and can’t be left alone. I was his 24-7 carer for over 20 years. I was on a carers pension and the government don’t pay into Super. I’m on an old age pension now, I get $1027 (Au) a fortnight and I have no other income. It took me ages to save for this machine. Anyway mate, thanks. Just one last thing, the lever is making a metal-on-metal sound. It need greasing, how do I do that, please? Is there a clip? Fully understand if you’ve had enough of me tho’
