TIL people make coffee with car parts.
Why has nobody seen an infuzer before lmao
I run the exhaust through the coffee for that extra cancerous flavor
I clean my Magnifica way too infrequently. Even so, that thing keeps going and going, though it likes to eat the tubing o-rings. Don't think I've actually replaced any major parts on it though.
I checked it a while back and I'm well over 50,000 shots on the beast in the 15 years we've had it.
I have a MagnificaS too! Second hand. No trouble so far.
I also had one of those expensive Jura things, also second hand, then it broke, allegedly that cog mechanism is bad from the guess of a technician. The price I heard made me forget about it and just busted out the magnifica from storage.
Wonder how long it will last me
My parents had the same Magnifica for longer than I have. I have to take orings over and fix it every once in a while, as well. I'm sure it doesn't have as many shots as mine but it's up there.
Great machines, but I can't speak to whether it's enshittified these days or not. I'm tempted to pick up a stash of the major parts or a low mileage parts machine for repairs while I can find them. Pretty sure a lot of the parts aren't made anymore.
I gotta see how to do maintenance on it myself. Right now I'm clueless though I guess the orings you're talking about are those which can be found at the front top of the machine.
but I can’t speak to whether it’s enshittified these days or not
Eh we can all guess that they are...
Thankfully the second hand market exists.
Mine sounds older, but pretty much anywhere the water supply tubing runs, it has a red Viton oring around the tube and a brass backer that clips it into the fittings. That oring will start to leak as it gets old. They're a weird metric size so finding them was a hassle, but now I have a bag of them for that job.
I've also replaced the tubing itself with teflon tubing that you can get from 3D printer websites. They use it as Bowden tubes.
If it wasn't dirty, why did you clean it?
Well I spent a minute taking it out, and in my mind at that point I gotta spend another 10 minutes cleaning it

My machine has an identical part. Don't forget to lube the o-rings with food-safe grease from time to time after cleaning.
Thank you for the reminder! After seeing this post, I cleaned the infuser for my Dinamica.
