So, my new Brewtus IV arrived yesterday - instructions suggested letting the machine sit for 12-24 hours when winter-shipped to allow for any moisture in the pipes to melt/evaporate. That did not stop me from setting the machine out on the counter, though - very beautiful. However, I noticed that when I tried to insert the portafilter handle into the group head, I couldn't get it much past the 7:00 position. In other words, it was a tight fit. Now, I haven't yet fired up the machine (that's this evenings job). I am therefore assuming that the tightness I am experiencing with the portafilter on the grouphead will disappear as the gasket heats up and becomes more flexible. Is this a fair assessment? Looking at videos on line of people operating this machine, it seems as though it is very easy to counter-clockwise turn the portafilter to the correct position on the group.
