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...
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...
