Breville Barista Express - Machine stopped working after water leak

I'll appreciate your help! I just replaced today the stock OPV with the Vibiemme one according to this guide - {link} I messed something up and when I first connected the 4mm tube, I didn't pull out the metal thing, so it sprayed water when I first turned it on. I fixed it and when I connected the

Have owned a La Pavoni Professional for over a year... need decent grinder.

"[FS] Goat Story Arco Combo Electric & Hand Grinder" Here, in the Buy/Sell forum is the best of both worlds. A very capable and consistent hand grinder with an electric dock.

The Meticulous Home Espresso Machine (Kickstarter)

So far I have decided to stay with my humble, simple and noisy bezzera unica! I have got my integrated PID driven boiler and a flow profile extraction.

SAB 2gr Jolly Auto touchpad issue

Try to verify if all the flowmeters wires are connected properly. In this diagram SLIV is the boiler water level probe, which you have, probably you don't have the SLIVmin, ( minimum level probe) but for you is enough to check how SLIV and the flowmeters are connected. By the way the jumper i previously mentioned is in the right

(Ab)using the Europiccola to pull coffee instead of espresso

I tried that once on vacation, but wasn't much better than storing outside the fridge (for espresso at least). It was medium roast; I suppose it would be better with light roast, but that is aging slower at room temperature as well. And it was summer, so a lot of condensation I suppose

SAB 2gr Jolly Auto touchpad issue

Giampero, thanks for the reply. Do you have any more information about this? I'm not sure what I'm looking at when I'm trying to figure out an issue that involves a board.

Decent Espresso news

Essentially the machine is clogged with scale, I am awaiting a service kit and tools to remove the group head sleeve etc so she's in. The workshop waiting. In the meantime, I have bought a decent machine I plan on selling the London after I have fixed it
