I think I will play the lottery today.
I was bumped up to first class because the airline needed my seat in coach. then I got an email from shopgoodwill saying they have the broken piece they will send me, along with a refund of 20%.
Didn't really expect to see the cap, and not sure if it is repairable, so we'll see. Since it's Goodwill, and I didn't pay that much, I told them to forget about the refund.
As for the machine, I now have pressure and steam. Must have just really needed descaled. I've been able to pull a couple of shots of strong coffee, but no real espresso yet.
I take it that no one here has used one of these.
