Coffee AccessoriesI've got a Ponte Vecchio Lusso Mk2, less than a year old from new. A week before xmas, it sprung a leak in the boiler. The hole was half-way down the boiler, on the rear right-hand 'corner'. Anyone got any ideas on what could have caused it? Anyone heard of anything like this happening before?
