Don't decide to clean your boiler at 1am after having some flow issues in the solenoid valve due to scale, mostly because of the OG owner. Or do in fact clean it, it was caked in scale, used the dremel and wire brush. No more slow flow and my café crèmes (1:18 pull in 30s, i have an 18g basket so around 180ml in 30s, was getting 100ml in 30s by midnight and am getting 200ml in 20s now) will thank me. also apathy saved me again when i reassembled everything and it leaked thru the grouphead. decided fuck it will order a new gasket in the morning, but then something beautiful happened. the metals started to expand into each other, creating an ever so tightly seam, soon resistant to leaks, it was beautiful.
Also first time working on the machine so i'm pretty happy i got to familiarize with it and that everything went well.
Turns out the cadmium schizo was not a schizo after all.
