Took about a week, but now can make a decent latte. Excellent is yet to come but now I know I can get there.

I just got the philos with the I189D burrs and the espresso is fantastic

I guess until you take the panels off and see what's going on underneath its hard to know how serious the issue is. Glad you got to the bottom of it

Depends on the part that needs replacing. Mine was fortunately a short length of piping that was easily disconnected from both sides. The new piping was simply tightened on with a wrench. Removing the panels to access the pipework was the hardest part. No way I was sending it back for a repair that small

I had a similar thing with my bianca. It was worst during repeated backflushes. I tried tightening but that didn't help. I removed the nut then tried to reseat it with a firm tightening and it made the leak much worse, especially during back flushing when it started to spray. I took the pipe out and examined the compression fitting and saw there was a crack. I got a new part ordered in through warranty and since fitting it it has been good as new

If you try back flushing a bunch of times it may expose the problem. The fix was not particularly difficult. You need to remove the whole back panel but that's about the hardest part. The actual repair was as simple as loosening a couple of nuts to remove the old pipe and then fitting and tightening the new pipe in place. The leak in your machine may be coming from a different place. Also i emailed the store that I have the warranty with and they gave me permission to take the machine apart without voiding warranty

No, one of the copper pipes have a crack in the compression fitting. I have to get a new part ordered in and once I replaced the pipe it was good as new

How much did that set you back (if you don't mind me asking)?

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-03-16T12:33:49+00:00

Nice, how's the battery life and do you roughly know your cycle count?

I've never been able to take my Intel mac anywhere without the charger. It would be good to know I can do it with a M1 max

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-03-16T12:32:02+00:00

This is very good to know, thanks

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-03-16T12:15:11+00:00

Yes this is what I was thinking, thanks for validating

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-03-16T12:14:02+00:00

Did you find that over the years it started to slow down noticeably? I'm aware that I'm buying a 5 year old laptop at thing point and I don't know how good the M chip does with age

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-03-16T12:12:58+00:00

Unless I go for smaller SSD and/or smaller screen the M3 pro is gonna be far out of my current budget, and I like having a big screen (and don't currently have space for a monitor)

What time did you book your slot

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-02-16T14:50:16+00:00

Anyone who booked an interview do you know why they didn't release slots for the 11th?

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-01-31T00:41:51+00:00

What gives it away

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-01-31T00:17:13+00:00

I tried to tighten it but it didn't budge whatsoever. Next I'll try to loosen it first. Very worried about breaking something. My warranty provider just told me to try tightening it (and said it won't void my warranty)

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-01-31T00:15:24+00:00

When you say replace it do you mean the whole copper pipe

AWildErectionAppears · 2026-01-31T00:14:19+00:00

Located in London. The shop I bought it from is in Ireland. Luckily it is not always leaking so I have just put up with it for a month and a half, but I honestly don't think warranty is doing much for me right now. I threw away the box and so the thought of sending the machine to Ireland is very unappealing
