It looks sentient. Did it suddenly start speaking and asked for Cafiza?
I bet the first shot after the cleaning was bomb though. Lol

I’m guessing they arent cafiza backflushing either?
They just stopped using a blade grinder recently.

Ohhhhh. I thought this was like when I realized that my furnace had a filter and that it needed to be changed regularly. And that I had not been upgrading it regularly.
If you have heating or cooling air vents in the rooms in your house then those sometimes have filters that need to be changed too
That reminds me, I’m overdue to “descale” my coffeemaker
I guess I should google what that means.
It’s breaking down the mineral build up from hard water. Nothing gross just something that happens
A what?
Shower screen, the thing that spreads water over the coffee bed in an espresso machine. It makes it so that the water wets the coffee roughly evenly instead of at a single spot. This helps with even extraction. The left is a diffusor the right is the shower screen. The diffusor has the same function but it does rough water distribution to six points in this case. The shower screen spreads it further.
