Light roast espresso with the Niche Zero

Rebuilding Isomac Millenium (vapore continuo)

So as I am rebuilding it, an idea pop up in my mind. I have heard that in HX E61 machines, sometimes we may get the water filling kicking in in the middle of a shot. To prevent that, can I add two wires to the machine: one wire connecting one terminal of the brew switch to the water level

Don't throw the board away. It is probably still good if someone with a good soldering hand puts a new connector on it. It may be useful to you or another HB member in your neck of the woods

Help - Strange behavior from my Rocket Giotto
