Long story short, my neighbor learned I liked espresso and pulled his Cremina out of his kitchen cabinets and told me to play with it. It had clearly never been serviced so after a week of having fun with it I pulled the group head apart. I've watched tons of videos and been...
Would it be possible for the Lever Forum to have a Gallery sticky of all the lever machines? If we own/owned the machines there would be no copyright issues. I think it would be helpful to all us LeverLovers to be able to see machines referred to in the forums quickly, without...
I just noticed a few days ago a puddle coming out from under my La Pavoni Pro Millenium. At first I thought it was water from sloppy dishwashing since the LP is near the sink. I wiped it up and noticed it again for the next two days. Definitely coming from under the unit. I'm...

I'm having a difficulty with changing the gasket for the water level sight glass on an Olympia Express (may be V1.4). I was trying to use the same gaskets from La Pavoni but they don't fit so can someone advise me where to buy these gaskets?

Hi fellow espresso freaks, hoping for a little guidance. I have a Profitec Pro 800 lever machine, purchased 2.5 years ago, still under warranty from Whole Latte Love. Machine is taking a long time to fill the boiler from the reservoir, and sometimes just quits pumping until I...
I got into espresso a while ago with a nice entry level Lelit, bought all the accessoires (as you do) and considered myself happy.
Unfortunately I then discovered the madness of lever machines. First by playing with pressure on my Lelit using a Lance Hendrik hack, then...
