Wow, I gotta push back on this one. A warranty is a contract, and contracts have limits on purpose, that's the whole deal. If they said "bumper to bumper" but wrote in the fine print that wear items are excluded, then the compressor failing at 47K is clearly normal wear and tear, not a defect. You wouldn't expect them to cover your brake pads or tires either, would you? The dealer isn't out to screw you, they're just following the rules you agreed to when you signed. Honestly, most people just hear "bumper to bumper" and ignore the actual document, then get shocked when reality hits. Next time, read every page before you hand over money, not after.

CUTE?? A grown man called your soldering "cute" like it's a kindergarten art project. That's wild. I'd be so annoyed, you paid for a repair not a comedy show.

Read somewhere that James Hoffmann talked about how hard tapping can shove fines down into the basket, which messes up the flow. Never thought about it till a buddy sent me that video, and yeah, it made a huge difference in my shots too. Reckon most of us just copy what we see in cafes without really questioning it.
