I have a hard to find gauge and wanted to know if it can be rebuilt. I know it might be expensive and time consuming but I just want to know if it can even be done. My pump pressure gauge is stuck at 7 bar. Is there a method for cleaning one? I know I can just go get a new one...

Hi all, I recently purchased a PID Control Retrofit KIT for Rancilio Silvia from Auber. This kit will work on my Faema Family but I'm having difficulty determining where to connect the Auber power supply (VIA SSR). I have been unable to locate a Faema Family wiring schematic....

I recently purchased (in New Zealand) a second hand GCP for my sister, it was very cheap but not without problems!

Someone had stripped the screw holding the shower screen in place, which in the end was relatively simple to remove. The main issue though is that the ON OFF...

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...

We recently bought an old Pasquini Livia 90 and it turned out needed some attention.

I want to know if there is a way to connect the solder points left behind after the timer/dose dial fell off. (I don't use it anyway)
It became detached after mounting screw fell out that held it to the circuit board.
I would appreciate any advice.
Fanks.

Hello all;

My Rancilio Silvia V1 wasn't steaming very well, so I took off the steam nozzle to clean it and found two small (head of a pin sized or a bit bigger) pieces of light green material inside. Under magnification It looks smooth and uniform so I'm guessing it's man-made...

Good morning coffee heads. I found an Enrico of Italy CE-12 in a small town antique shop for a few bucks. I know this is not a high quality machine, but it was cheap and looked like fun to restore. It is in decent shape but missing the drip pan and worst of all the portafilter....

Hi Guys, I'm after some expert help. I have an old Gaggia Classic which has eventually succumbed over years of use. I have recently completely stripped her down, (this is the second time now), and cleaned her up, boiler, grouphead, solenoid, opv etc. I ended up replacing the...
