Hello Home-Baristas,

I am hoping the wisdom of the collective can help me out. I am currently having issues with my Miele CM5200 Super Automatic machine. Originally very expensive it has provided 10 years of hassle free and decent coffee. What's happening now is that the pucks...

I'm an amateur but from my limited experience and research, I HIGHLY Recommend Insulating with the best all round insulation Polyester, AND for FREE!:

We just insulated our 1999 circa Marzocco Linea Espresso Machine with 2 boiler tanks.
If it was a 10 years newer model it...

I was watching Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for a while as I knew I wanted to purchase and fix a broken espresso machine. I'd never worked on one before, but I have some knowledgeable friends and access to Google - what could go wrong!

I purchased a Wega Mini Nova for...

I had been looking at my local ads for a while waiting to pounce on a decent resto project. There are probably better machines out there, but this one is well documented on this site. And anything should be a workflow upgrade over my current Flair with an old DeLonghi EC680 for...

My NS pump sometimes does not come on. I have to coax it with a few button pushes but usually (well so far always) ends up coming on and working. I was told it could be the capacitor but my experience with starter caps is they either work, or stop working. Is that the case here...

Hi all,

I rescued a neglected restaurant machine that will work with a deep clean. All buttons function individually but I can't seem to get into dose programming mode; the routine in the (likely newer) manual states hold STOP and the adjacent button simultaneously, which...

I was joking initially when I quipped that someone should just print a new drip tray to get rid of the reservoir hump. Maybe half joking...

Printed from ASA that is labeled to have a working temp of 100°C, I think it will hold up to my light use but we shall see.

The original...

Hey guys, I am a newbie but love quality equipment and good coffee so we bought a Linea Mini and a Monolith Flat Max grinder. We had an espresso tech give us an at home demo and we were on our way making tasty espresso.

The Linea called for a firmware update which I did. Next...
