I picked up a non-functional Fiorenzato Bricoletta to repair, and I started tearing it down to clean it before really digging into the problem... and I don't recognize this part. I did a quick browse on espressoparts.com to see if I could visually match it, but had no luck. I...

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...

Anyone has any idea where I can find a rubber feet replacement for Niche Zero? I noticed a couple of days ago that my grinder is wobbly and upon further inspection I realized that one of the rubber feets (inside the wooden feet) is missing and I cannot find it. I searched in...

Hi folks,

I'm having a go at restoring a 22 year old La Cimbali M21 Junior DT/1 . It is in a pretty sorry state but I got it very cheaply (and like a challenge). I've mostly dismantled the machine including opening up the boiler. The scale build up inside -- horrendous.
Sadly,...

Hi,
I recently purchased a used BDB 920XL from a small coffee shop. According to the owner she purchased back in December 2022 with an assumption that could handle the workload but after a month she realized she needs a commercial machine. She told me the machine pulled 250...

Now the pressure seems to just slowly go up, and then suddently it goes nuts from there. I can depressurise it by turning the water steam on for a bit. But it will go to same state. Now i have had the valve up and...

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...

Hi there, so im to do an overhaul on my ulka pump since not much pressure is being made with my espresso machine and ruled out descaling, grinds or opv. the small ball seems fine but im replacing it with a glass bead and I ordered a set of O rings. The new ones are softer than...

I've got a Breville oracle that had one of it's PTFE tubes break. When it broke it leaked some water, the steam boiler overheated and the thermal fuse blew. After that it wouldn't heat to temp, never going above 158F.

So I replaced the thermal fuse on the steam boiler. Now the...

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...
