Hi,
I have recently taken ownership of an old, mostly complete, first version (no light or thermostat) Bruni Brunella Lever machine.
The main parts missing/damaged are a double basket (only has single), the Bakelite handle (damaged) and the seals (leaking).
It seems...

I have a Bezzera BZ10 heat exchanger machine, which I'm about to descale. The instructions say to use the pump to fill the boiler with descaler solution. Afterwards, I need to pump through clean water several times to rinse out the chemical.

I thought of a better way. With a...

Would it be possible for the Lever Forum to have a Gallery sticky of all the lever machines? If we own/owned the machines there would be no copyright issues. I think it would be helpful to all us LeverLovers to be able to see machines referred to in the forums quickly, without...

I'm new to home roasting, and I'm using a budget machine (Behmor). So far, I've been roasting in the kitchen under the range hood. It's okay, but smells still linger in our open plan upper floor for days after roasting, and I can smell the roast on the hood itself for days too....

Hello everyone,
I am new in this forum, but I make espresso for 5 years on Profitec Pro 700 and Ceado e37s.
I'd appreciate your hints for a solution on problem with a pump reaching brew pressure too slow (10+ seconds) and non-working steam gauge/sensor.

It's now back to the service center for the 3rd time. The first time was a battery swelling...

We are looking to upgrade the burrs on our Ek43. We already sanded the chamber and upgraded to the Titus Burr carrier. We roast light to medium light coffees and plan to use the EK for pourover, batch brew and EK-style espresso shots. With the stock EK burrs we are pulling shots...

Hi all,

Latte newbie here. I upgraded to a new machine (Breville Barista Express) end of July and trying to learn latte heart.

I am somewhat consistent at steaming, however I often get the milk to sink more instead of expanding the heart outward on the surface. Because of this...

Hi!

I've been a huge cafe espresso enjoyer, and am now taking my first steps into home espresso.
But, like many people, I've fallen down the gear rabbit hole when looking for my first machine.
Which has me asking Why shouldn't I start at the top with a Linea Micra, Decent, or...

Hello and thank you for all the great info on the forum.
I recently bought a used Forge, DC area, in great condition but I am unable to get any pressure build up in the chamber and I can push down to drive water through very easily. The seals are good and the previous owner told...
