I've just poured beans into the water reservoir.

could be worse, at least I didn't pour water into the grinder.

That's brilliant [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I've been waiting two weeks for this decent niche portafilfer holder. For my gaggia classic portafilfer with offset locking arms. So it doesn't fit. Which in hindsight was entirely obvious....

Struggled to empty and refill the tank on my Osmio zero earlier as one arm is suffering from Covid jab.

All going well and got tank back on, meant to turn knob to wake it up and spot refill. Pressed button instead, so pissed water onto the floor tried to catch with hands rather than press again to stop. Wife unimpressed.

Forgetting to put a filter on my aeropress cap. Coffee free flowed into my cup before I could press(inverted method)! Luckily it didn't make too much of a mess..!

I had a slight mixup and came very close to grinding kibble this morning.

It made me wonder if anyone had gone one step further and tasted a nutritious kibbly shot 🤪

@Joe shorrock - not managed that one yet, only time. I'm hoping religiously putting the cup back every time and using the single dose containers will prevent it happening.

@Joe shorrock Can I ask where you got those bean cellars or whatever you would like to call them?

I've had mine well over a year and I've done this twice...

Haha tbf I was taking a video including the custom wood kit then turning it on and then I was like oh yeah the cup haha

just pulled a shot on the LR - hmm, this sounds suspiciously quiet. why is the pump not running?

turns out the wifi plug has turned the machine off precisely 2mins before i pulled the lever. i got some drips from bpiler pressure pre-infusion, so switched the machine back on and pulled again - i'm from Yorkshire, it's not going to waste in my house.

taste - i'm getting earwax notes. still, better than Costa

This happens to me when working from home. The WiFi plug turns everything off at 8am. 7.59 pull a shot and start steaming milk - oh no, the boiler's packed in, let's check the temp. PID turned off... WiFi!

I am pretty new to this but already making some muppet mistakes. I dont like to keep the PF in when not in use as the handle sticks out and the machine is on the corner of our kitchen worktop. Several times now I turn machine on - come back when its warmed up to get PF out to grind into and damn I forgot to put it in when machine warming up. This morning I thought I cracked it only to take PF out and realise when washing up last night I had put the single basket back in rather than double. Grrrrrr. Single basket has been hidden in a box now lol.

Forgot to tamp 🤦‍♀️
Realised before I started pulling the shot and took out the PF but a big bit of the puck was stuck to the shower screen. So cleaned it off, spooned some more coffee into the basket on top of the half remaining and thought I would see what happens. And it was fine, made no difference having a rubbish puck 😂

 

[BunniesAreEvil]

Ground some beans in my handgrinder, then wondered why the grounds were all over the floor.

I've forgotten to put water in the moka pot a few times.

 

[MattP1]

New coffee this morning and choked the machine. Binned it and weighed out another 18g to try 2 steps higher but forgot to actually change the grind setting!

 

[Griffo]

Second time I've done this now 😩 happened this afternoon.

 

[DavecUK]

@Griffo Did the same only a week ago.

@Griffo Did the same only a week ago.

I normally weigh my beans out into a little cup and spray a little water on them to help with static (leaving the niche container under the grinder), but this time I thought I'd not bother with that and then this happened.

 

[7493]

@Griffo Did the same a couple of days ago. First time for at least a year.
