The day my espresso machine exploded steam all over my ceiling
I was pulling a morning shot last Tuesday and the pressure valve just gave out, sending a jet of hot water straight up and peeling the paint off in a perfect circle before I could even yelp, has anyone else had a machine just give up mid-pull like that?

Holy crap, a perfect circle of peeled paint? That's wild.

Hold up, @williamschmidt, that's not a perfect circle by accident. Paint peels in geometric shapes when there's a consistent stress point, like from a wall anchor or magnet that was removed. I've seen it happen near electrical boxes where the drywall was cut clean, and the paint just follows that same line when it fails. You're probably looking at leftover adhesive or a patch job, not some random cosmic event, you know?
