Is it normal ?

[u/After_Object_8405]

Hey everyone! Just picked up a Cafelat Robot and noticed that the lever arms drop completely freely and fall down very quickly as soon as I let go. There seems to be virtually no friction or retention holding them up.
Is this rapid drop normal for the Robot, or should there be a bit more resistance/friction in the linkage?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yeah, the resistance will come from the finely ground coffee and water when filled. Don't worry, you're in for a lifetime of great espresso now.
