ACS waiting times

Congratulations! I assume you've already made your choices on the machine options itself and this is directed at DHL/customs. I am by no means an expert. But, two things helped with the process on my machine. Get DHL's text/email notification of status changes. And, when that status indicates anything other than smooth processing through customs, call or email DHL

Hi Guys, I'm after some expert help. I have an old Gaggia Classic which has eventually succumbed over years of use.

Linea Mini solenoid issue

My 5 year old mini started failing to deliver water recently. Checked and solenoid cleaned by a service business. Unfortunately the problem continued. It turns out if the machine has been on for more than an hour or more - on throwing the switch no click and no water. If I turn it off and let it cool down

Help with installing PID on Faema Family

Hi all, I recently purchased a PID Control Retrofit KIT for Rancilio Silvia from Auber. This kit will work on my Faema Family but I'm having difficulty determining where to connect the Auber power supply (VIA SSR). I have been unable to locate a Faema Family wiring schematic.

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings

One example, If you look at the recent post on the kafatek forum, Denis pretty much refunded the person right away who had trouble with their outlet. Denis pretty much stands by his product.

Weber key issue

Upgrading my Grinder Game

I might be preaching to the choir but kafatek max2 has been a pleasure to use for espressos. First time being able to taste all the flavor notes, only bad thing about the grinder is that you won't be able to use it 24/7. Build quality is second to none. Denis gives fast response with email and forums. Truly an
