Greetings! I have successfully performed maintenance on my E61 grouphead once before. I have a rocket appartamento.
The machine is five years old, so I decided to get a generic set of replacement parts from blue-star-coffee for the E61, and set about replacing the old parts on...
After 4 solid years of use, my Dual Boiler has started to give me some grief. The machine is taking longer to build up pressure, and is not getting to 9 bar. When it started happening, I descaled and cleaned the machine and it worked well for another few weeks, but it...
