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...

Hello,

I've just received my shiny new VBM Domobar Jr Hx Digital. Lovely machine, visually.

Pulled a few shots to get it basically dialed in, so far so good. I wonder, though, how to think about the brew temperature setting. Is this calibrated to the boiler or the group, does...

I am searching for an affordable roaster (less than $1000) that will do a 1 lb batch (or close to it since Behmor does not do well with 16 oz of greens). My 15-year-old Behmor (original 1600 model) stopped rotating the drum. I can try replacing the drum motor for $30 in parts...

I LOVE the Argos lever, but I have trouble with the boiler cap (thank you, a lifetime of working with my hands) due to creeping arthritis. Ross kindly sent me a spare boiler cap, so I can think about/make modifications.

Since the cap only turns 1/2 turn, I'm thinking about...

Greetings! I have successfully performed maintenance on my E61 grouphead once before. I have a rocket appartamento.

About a month ago I finally installed my new Slayer Single Group at home. Quite an upgrade from my pervious 12 years with Bezzera. I am already loving it and thing that...

I saw this in a video in the about us section of a coffee roaster website:

Is this how you cup green coffee?

If it lives up to the specs it seems pretty cool with room for advanced options in the future. Any takers of the pre-order? Any naysayers have some naysaying to do?

I broke my back moving this machine, but I am happy to present one of the wildest Faema Uranias I've ever seen; two hydraulic groups and one hotel group (I DO have the glass, it's in shipment still). The entire shipment was 285lb/130kg. It withstood some abuse, but it survived...
