Casadio Undici A1 pump not turning on

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket

Remember that moka pots take long to brew, they don't brew under high pressure, and the coffee grounds swell during this slow process. These "mistakes" help you learn about dialing in overall.

First off, thank you for your response. I've finally had a chance to pull the cover off and take a look inside. I am not sure about the temperature issue at this point, since there seems to be a more fundamental problem. As I tried heating it up, it started making a

1959 Faema Urania Three Group Hydraulic with Hotel Group

With the piston removed, I could slip off the middle group segment and reveal the big valve on the hydraulic group.

There are two gaskets that press between the big piston chamber
