just going back to starbucks for espresso

i dont know if i believe that it is going to explode in 3 years and if
so wouldnt they have to replace it?
like i said they are cool but quality sucks, i know some ppl who got them, the seals are shitty quality, thats what happened prolly with yours too. The calcium gets it and if you dont lube them, they start leaking, normally outside the brewery part, so the water comes out.

Theres no such thing as wrong beans btw, what CAN happen is when you move the grinding scale from fine to finer, a bean gets stuck and damages the grinder, but as long as you buy arabica (the greasy feeling beans) you should be ok, dont go for regular beans, they wont get the crema (the yellow thick creme on top of the coffee).

Take it to the shop, if its within warrenty theyll replace the seals, if not its like $150-200
