Brass Fittings for Pasquini Livia 90

Good to hear. And that is why it is good to have at least two espresso machines..... one to use, and one to clean and tinker on, and modify

Brass Fittings for Pasquini Livia 90

Hey! I just heard back from Pasquini, and they DO have that part "Exchanger-group solenoid valve hose. It costs $10.50.

Livia's Lover: A Relay-table question?

Livia's Lover: A Relay-table question?

So, I went for it....I tried installing a solid state relay in my '96 Pasquini Livia, and I am a FN idiot. I really should have studied the wiring diagram (I can study it and it still doesn't make much sense) a lot more and asked A LOT more questions before I wired in a non-stock relay. I

Breville 980XL Oracle Water / Pump Problem - A little help please!

Hi: I don't know how big the brew chamber capacity is for your brew head, but it sounds like maybe it is just not full with water when you hit the shot button? like maybe some of the water has evaporated by heat during the heating up the machine? do you run water through the group head

Pasquini Livia 90 - Not keeping steam pressure
