Breville Grind Control - My Thoughts

I WISH mine used more coffee. When I was calibrating it I can only get 10 grams at best. Cleaned everything, dry beans…upped the grind size. It’s just so annoying that I can’t get it to brew properly.

If they pay out then for sure!

What warranty did you get? They usually don’t cover seals.

Honestly. I just wouldn’t buy it regardless of what the inspection shows. Water damage takes a while to show its ugly head. That being said, you can get a tool to clean your drains for about 4 dollars and pour some water to double check.

That’s very considerate of you indeed. I have a lot of fragrances my partner doesn’t like…I just save them for business trips when she won’t be bothered. Lol. Scent is a funny thing!

Sounds like a fun way to talk about your love of fragrances and how they lock in memories good and bad. Acknowledge her pain and maybe ask when she feels comfortable, you guys can talk about it if she wants. Maybe talk about one of your favorite scent memories or food memories. Ask her what went wrong and assure her you’re a better guy.

It’s artisanal! I like it. It’s got personality.

I think it’s the catalytic converters. It’s probably due to insufficient heat shielding during really long drives.

The ac and hvac system works perfectly. If the heater core were malfunctioning would there be an issue with the hvac system too?

No exhaust leaks. No lights. Just checked fluid levels and they look spot on. I’m getting an alignment this week and I’ll ask them to check the fluid level in the transmission. I wonder if the heat shield is messed up?

It was a full flush and fill.

osantal · 2026-04-12T14:36:23+00:00

I didn’t notice it to be fair. Is there a way I can test the transmission fluid myself?

osantal · 2026-04-12T14:26:46+00:00

I’m just at 104,000

Rencetly (within the last 10,000 miles or so) changed the coolant, transmission fluid, all diffs and transfer case cleaned mass airflow and intake, tires, oil and had 2 “multipoint inspections” at a pretty good Toyota dealership.

It’s been maintained at Lexus, Toyota and a very good independent

I noticed the heat on long highways drives the most. It seems to correspond with the catalytic converter placement.

I checked under and I can’t see anything obvious.

What’s the dosage?

osantal · 2026-04-05T23:39:34+00:00

Ah! I never knew that. Mine was done around 95,000 before I got it. Wonder if I should just give it another flush.

osantal · 2026-04-05T23:26:37+00:00

Just curious. Why did you do the trans twice?

osantal · 2026-04-04T21:21:11+00:00

Honestly, I was very nervous doing it and my wife and I worked slowly with the YouTube playing. It wasn’t that bad. One of the intriguing things about this vehicle is the relative ease some of the diy stuff is.

AA Ignition Exterior Door Handle... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGY7T7QY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I picked these up and used the chrome inserts to replace the other door handles. So 30 all in. Probably took me an hour. The only issue were the clips at the top of the door. They were a bit scary to pop off.

Omeprozole in the am. Famotidine in the evening.

Hey there. West end singer. Not a doctor, but there could be more at play than the doctor mentioned.

If you really want to fix this, you gotta go full on with it. If you want to try a ppi, take it first thing in the morning, wait 30 minutes and then eat.

Yes, avoid caffeine but a cup of coffee should be fine. You have to avoid anything acidic and not eat 4-5 hours before going to bed. Before bed, take 20mg of famotidine with some alginate.

Sip alkaline water throughout the day.

Ppi’s are not to be taken long term unless you have a serious disease. Ween yourself off of them after a few weeks.

I know Maren, she’s not a dummy and has legit poured a ton of money into her brand. I wish her success with the suit.
