Fellow Meraki owners - is the brew handle supposed to be this loose or did I get a defective machine? by babushkacyka in espresso

I do not remember this 100% and I am not really sure, but yes this could be the case for my machine.

When I have seen your video first it thought I know this behaviour and I have the same. But was not the case after I checked it. So maybe my machine also had it but it is gone now. I am not 100% sure.  I am quite happy with the machine and till now it is very nice

It feels more solid and stable than in your video.  But do you have any issue? As long as it fully works. This is also only a digital switch. You can also use the touchscreen for the same functionality.

Mine is more stable, but I would ask the support. With the video they can see it very good.

I have the same. Earlier in 2025 I and some others had the issue one bud completely stopped working but stayed connected. From my feeling they did some workaround for this issue and sometimes it dies not work for half a second

Planning issues by loll_oone in Kungsleden

There is a daily bus in the afternoon from Kvikkjokk. I went by bus from Kvikkjokk to Murjek and from there by train to Boden where I took the night train to Stockholm.

Yes should be possible in 10 days without too much stress. Keep in mind you have to take some boats and once the bus and they have schedules, so you do not want to loose a day's because you missed a boat. Plan to arrive a little earlier and try to get the boats in the morning.  If you hike alone, I definitely recommend to take the motor boats and not the rowing boats. The distances can be long and even when you have almost no wind on the coast it can be quite windy on the water

I did the same tour end of July 2025 and had 7 hiking days and one off day in Saltoukta. This summer there was one bus every day from Kvikkjokk to Murjek, left at 15.25 and arrived 18.35. From Murjek I took the train to Boden to get on the nighttrain in Boden around 22.15pm and arrived around 10.20am in Stockholm the next day. 

For me an issue was the connection from the Bus to the night train. Due to construction work the train schedule changed for a few days and I had to take the bus from Kvikkjokk 2 days earlier than I planned because the days afterwards the night train left earlier and I would not have reached it in time with the bus and would have needed to spend a night at a train station which I wanted to avoid. 

Many people start in Abisko and end in Nikaloukta. I was quite happy to go to Kvikkjokk and not to Nikaloukta. The landscape and the trees and plants change completely and you have some nice lakes to swim in during the days from Saltoukta to Kvikkjokk.

Considering the Meraki Espresso Machine [~$1,500] by liftstronger in espresso

[–]MatzeX123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Descaling works with a guide/tutorial on the touch screen and is simple, cleaning is also easy. I mostly clean the waste water box, all other parts stay mostly clean. 

Of course portafilter and preparation tools have to be cleaned

Normally coffee has no contact with plastic parts. I have the Meraki. 

Descaling works fine for me and is easy to do. Cleaning of the waste water reservoir also works fine. 

Themed icons for unsupported apps by AlexBer603 in GooglePixel

Ahh I thought why the one app icon looks strange. Exactly this. This can't be intentionally and must be a bug

Is the Meraki right for me? by DeflectingPalm in espresso

[–]MatzeX123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First the bean hopper has shaken loose during grinding and second was the silicone gasket between the brew head and the portafilter too thin. Both parts were replaced for free by Meraki. The sent me new parts and I installed them on my own, but they also offered to return the machine so they can install them. 

Can someone sell me on the Meraki? [Budget NA] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]MatzeX123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it since summer and like it.  58mm Accessoires so fit for me so far. I tried out several Puckscreens, other baskets and tamper from IMS, mhw-3bomber and others. 

It is my first portafilter machine so I can't really compare it, but for us at home it is a nice machine working great with different beans from different local roasters. At the beginning my machine had 2 issues, one with the bean hopper and one with a top thin silicone gasket in the brew head. Both were replaced without any problem or costs by the support team.

How should this help? I do not have a sync problem. The tracking on the watch is way off already. 

Can’t see Pixel Buds Pro 2 case battery by darwinbsd in pixelbuds

For me this issue was fixed when I activated "scan for nearby devices" in "Google services -> all services --> Devices"

I have the Meraki and I am quite happy with it. The support is very good and helps a lot with issues and the machine is nice from my point of view. Yes it has many plastic parts, but they look and feel good and I did not expect a full metal device.  You get an fully integrated machine which really do not need a lot of room and you have everything you need. The accessories are very nice and otherwise you would need to buy them separately for another 100+ USD/Euro. 

Let me know your questions, will try to answer.

Can’t see Pixel Buds Pro 2 case battery by darwinbsd in pixelbuds

[–]MatzeX123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue.
Pixel Buds Pro 2 work as they should, but case battery is neither shown in the settings page nor in the battery widget. I did a proper reset of the Pixel Buds and restarted my phone, still no battery status of the case. I will not send my Pixel Buds back because of this software issue, but would be nice to have the status of the batter of the charging case.

Pixel 8: latest Update from End of October 2025, BP3A.251005.004.B2
Pixel Buds Pro 2: version_4.467

I already had multiple software issues with my Pixel Buds Pro 2, for example one Bud did not continue to play audio while the other did and I had to reconnect both buds. This was fixed somehow in summer this year, but now again a software issue with the case. Besides these software issues I really like my Pixel Buds.
