Thought this was about Reddit for a second 😆

(Yes yes, the logo, I know…)

Thanks. It didn’t appear to overflow for me - although maybe it would have if half the water hadn’t been directly dumped on the counter lol.

Based on the pics in the manual, I had to hunt around to find a container that was a) big enough to hold 2 litres, b) small enough to balance on the drip tray and c) low enough to fit under the portafilter. Answer: no such container exists - I think it’s physically impossible. Fortunately the images in the manual were ridiculous and, as you say, most of the water is squirted into the drip tray and barely anything comes out into the container sitting on top. Silly manual!

Might give the exchange a whirl - thanks.

I did find a comment elsewhere about pushing the tray base in without the metal top - apparently it “clicks” into place then. Will try that first.

I never understand why so many people who are measurably disadvantaged by their platform will vote for it. Oh right, it’s because drag queens are the real enemy.

And it’s actually quiet, unlike many of the Baratza products; if they’re too much $, though the Encore ESP is good, and while loud-ish, quick.

I can’t speak for the Baratza but one of the surprises we got switching to the Opus over our previous cheapie Cuisinart was how much quieter it is - can actually grind with other people asleep in the house!

These are the people who see libraries, universities etc as liberal machines.

If education hurts your platform…
