    There are reputable calculators available so you can double check that the random ass recipe you might have found is fit for human use and doesn't turn into some kind of industrial grade degreaser. You should obviously wear suitable protective equipment as well, but for me that's second nature since i work at a petrochemical plant where we have to wear all kinds of equipment to protect ourselves.

    My daily driver is a La Pavoni lever machine and i use a 100% arabica bean with a Mazzer Mini. Both machines are starting to get old, probably 15 years, and the only real issue has been that the pressurestat malfunctioned once causing a bit of a leak. Other than that i replace the gaskets and lube up the moving parts every now and then.
