I'll agree with that - as time goes on, the stockists who rely on the name 'Monmouth' - rather than their coffee skills - as a source of revenue will increasingly neglect the product and trade off the name alone.
On a slightly different note, after months of trying to track one down, I've finally got hold of a new head gasket seal for my Cubika. The problem is, after thoroughly dismantling the machine and cleaning it throroughly, before installing the new one, it turns out that when I put the portafilter on, there's not enough of a seal there to create the pressure needed. Essentially the basket turns all the way to the right with no resistance, whereas even with the old one it would 'stop'.
There's a slight possibility I've put the filter holder on the wrong way round, or maybe the rubber seal just expands when it gets hot properly, but if anyone has any experience of installing this sort of thing, please let me know.
Cheers...!
