Does the machine run through all the water you put in it into the espresso? or does it run a set amount of water through? is it automatic or can you adjust how much water go into your espresso? and if yes, how?

Hi, thanks for the vid!! May I ask you how did you take your foot length measurement? Was it while standing with your hockey socks on? I am shopping for X4, FIT2 and had also a chance to try on S4. Surprisingly X4 is a ted longer than S4 (same size). I'd definitely go with S4 9.5 but I kinda feel in between 9 - 9.5 with X4 (my foot length is 11.14). Thanks!
@paulc1562Ай бұрын
I stood and put my heel against a wall, no socks, then measured. Remember my left foot is 11.75 inches which by my chart at 2:09 of the video is a size 13.5, and I fit perfect in size 11.0 Vapor X4 fit2. If your foot length is 11.14 inches, that is size 11.5, and you might fit into a size 9.0 in Vapor X4, I can't tell you about the CCM Jetspeed S4, if that is what you mean by S4. But if you stuff your toes against the toe cap, a good fit would be your heal just touching the back heel. Like I show in my video at 10:44 where I try on Vapor X4 11.0 fit 2, with hockey socks and sitting on a tall stool.
@ondrejhoudek7660Ай бұрын
I meant M4 ( = Supreme), my apologies. That skate is a tad smaller than X4. Based on trying M4, I'd go with 9.5. Ok, I'll take X4 (size 9) into consideration anyway. Thanks a lot!

I found one of these yesterday in my mom's garage as I was sorting through things to sell, and brought it home. I think my stepdad must have used it in his office years ago. It's horribly caked with mineral deposits in the water tank, so I'm letting some vinegar sit in the tank, then I'll rinse it out and try running water through it. Thank you for the instructive--and fun!--video, Paul! Wish me well, that this little coffee maker works!

Update (I know, no one cares!): it works great! I used a lot of water and vinegar to get it cleaned out , especially the steam arm for the frother. I followed your instructions for brewing, right down to the proper tap on the top after screwing on the tank lid 😉. I’m missing the important part of the Kroger garlic tin but the little machine works well and is fun to use. Yummy coffee!

Thanks for your video. It allowed me to fix a metal shower handle that came off. The handle adapter screw somehow was behind the handle adapter inside the metal handle. I unscrewed the outer metal handle screw with a very small straight head screwdriver. That allowed me to remove the black handle adapter that was inside the metal handle. I could hear a loose part when I shook the metal handle. That loose part was the handle adapter screw (1:16 of this video). I was then able to attach the handle adapter with the handle adapter screw back to the stem assembly and reattach the metal handle onto the handle adapter with the handle adapter screw. Without your video, I wouldn't have figured it out myself. Thanks again!
