Height in cm of Mazzer Robur and Kony without hopper installed but with black collar on?

Thank you very much. A bit too tight the Robur. Hopefully Kony can fit!

Height in cm of Mazzer Robur and Kony without hopper installed but with black collar on?

Dear Coffee Colleagues I have looked, without any success, for the height of a Mazzer Robur and Kony (E or Automatic - not the new S models) from bench top to the top of the black collar the hopper sits in. If anyone could please post that measurement in cms for one/both of them it would be very

Autofill Fault

Thanks Nunas. That gives me some direction. Yes, when I disconnect the Gicar the fault 2 is identical to when the sensors are attached (and of course fault 1 is the same because it has no input as to the fill water level in the tank)

Autofill Fault

I have an Alex Leva coffee machine. The autofill has the two faults below. I suspect its the Gicar controller, but am not certain and I don't have any idea how I should trouble shoot it to work that out. I have read that Gicar's can be repaired, but I would just buy a new one (I am in

La San Marco - Alex Leva Sticking: seal problem and what tool is needed to remove the piston head?

It was lubed when I received it. When I opened it up it had fairly thick, almost black coloured, lube on the seals and part...

La San Marco - Alex Leva Sticking: seal problem and what tool is needed to remove the piston head?

Thanks JK. Problem now largely solved. Still need new gasket (on way), but main issue was grease type. Moved on to Molkyte 111. My recommendation, don't use anything else. Even other high temp stable good greases simply failed to provide sufficient lubrication (including Innox MX6 which was a total ...

La San Marco - Alex Leva Sticking: seal problem and what tool is needed to remove the piston head?

Has anyone had any problems removing and installing the piston from the top, instead of the bottom? I let mine cool fully. Remove it from the top and then put it back in. Fits reasonably easily - have to be very careful dropping it in. But what I found was the (I assume black seal - not

You are a legend (with much better search skills than me - I got nowhere) JK. thanks very much Would have been great if there was a tool to remove the piston head - but looks like there isn't. make your own out of PVC. My issue may have been that I removed the piston from the
