Hi!

I recently began fixing up a new, but damaged, Breville Barista Express Impress. One thing missing was the inner, cone burr from the grinder. Is it a five or six point star? Can I use one from another model? Does it matter? I'm struggling to find non-salvaged parts to...

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 same issue where the needle of Bezzera Magica would reach the max bars set but needle shake/oscillates ?

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...

Hello,

Lately my machine has been doing as shown on the video.

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...

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...
