Yeah not sure I am going to go and mess with the internals of a machine I have literally just bought. Not had chance to use it yet but will do shortly and knowing my luck and my ham fisted approach I will break something.
I tend to drink americano more than anything else so the wand isn't crucial to me thankfully. As far as pouring the actual drink the same method as in the booklet I assume, knowing this forum people have all sorts of different ways of making a cup.
*edit*
Where can I get espresso glasses on the high street as I do not have any. It also says to use the scoop for measuring , how many grams is this roughly in beans? I have a burr grinder so need to weigh it out and grind it. Usually I have around 17g for the aeropress.
