Monday morning... freshly brewed with a dash of whole milk, helping me to become ready for new challenges ,
Oh, very sorry to hear. I hope you can get it back soon.My old Lelit has been feeling poorly of late. I'm unable to revive it this morning. Overdue for a visit to the doctor. The photos are helping my mood a little. I'm having a cup of tea.

My wild-ass guess would be the leak is causing electrical problems, relay maybe. I replaced my SS relay twice thinking it was faulty when the root cause was an intermittent leak on the heating element gasket that was shorting the relay.Initially the refill alarm would stay on (after refilling) which responded well to jiggling the tank. But no longer, I expect the alarm is doing double duty for another fault. Now there's a leak. Another one of those blue plastic pipe connectors may have failed, I should replace them all with brass. Or it could be something else ... while Mara is one of the smaller E61 machines around, they are still heavy things to go to the shops with.
Meanwhile, I dug out the French press. Better than tea.

I like the Lavazza Rossa, beans are a bit less expensive than the Super Crema yet still produces a nice crema. I'm no coffee gourmet, normally do a galão or two in the morning because it's what I used to drink when I lived in Europe.I tried Illy and wasn't overly impressed.
