  Any sort of moisture is an issue, even towel dried hands after washing up can cause it to be a bit temperamental

  I've the rocket, grind is generally decent but the touch screen only works when totally dry, which isn't always ideal when making something with hot water...

  Yeah, good point, thanks. I've got an Inreach I use for satellite Comms. Global rescue seem to offer the most comprehensive cover and rescue as standard.

  I've done plenty of multi-day through-hikes in Europe, but off to Morocco over Christmas. What insurance do people use? I've been pretty lax in the past...

  Global rescue and World Nomads are well reviewed if a bit expensive. I'll be pretty remote for a few days so emergency rescue feels like something I should probably have as a backup.

  Lovely stuff, thanks - will report back...

  I got the pump changed relatively "quickly" but it turned out not to be the problem... tried to remove the solenoid value... the allen heads sheared... screw removers failed...now need a new group body at the very least...

  It is a 2001 model and the first time I've attempted to service!

  So, what started as a quick pump change on my ancient Gaggia classic, escalated...

  Before I attempt any percussive maintenance, any ideas how I can remove the steam arm assembly from the boiler? I've removed the bolts but it's still stuck. Was thinking about a citric acid bath but not sure how the copper/bronze would react

  I'm in the same postcode and (7!) months ago ordered a new door. Almost at the point of wanting to take that off your hands in case I have to wait any longer... Looks lovely, and essentially what we've ordered.
