I was just doing some work on a new-to-me machine and was reminded how much soft jaws that actually grip but don't scratch chrome or distort bolt threads just make things easier.

These are a Knipex 10 pliers wrench with added semi-hard plastic jaw protectors. The wrench...

Hello and thanks in advance for any help

I just bought a new LM Linea Mini and cannot get the machine to work. Machine arrived yesterday. There was no apparent damage to the box or any of the contents.

Situation:
- Turn it on and red light flashed with blue light solid; last...

For some time, I felt there might be a leak in my steam boiler. My machine used a lot of water, I needed to refill the tank every day.

Now, there is no steam at all. Dead. I guess the board shut down the steam boiler. No steam, but when I push the tea button, I have cold...

Good evening all -- I'm looking for some help troubleshooting my setup. The linked video below shows what is going on.

The machine is a Rocket Appartamento (so a vibration pump) which is about 3.5 years old pulling ~2 shots/day, to which I've added a group head pressure gauge....

It's leaking where it attaches at the face plate. Small drips of water and some steam. I'll try tightening the attachment nut. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue.

The installed new breaker sits too high for me to put the metal case back.

As you can see on...

Hi Folks! My Astra PRO acts very finicky at times when I try to pull a shot and I can't quite figure it out. When I flip the brew switch, the ULKA (EAX5) pump will emit a humming noise rather than the noise you'd expect to hear when properly pumping (and no water comes out at...

Hi,

I have a long story of frustration with Barista Touch: suddenly, it stopped heating water, espresso shots came out cold, same happened to hot water and steam.
Over many experiments, it was noticed that sometimes the temperature goes up, then quickly goes down without...

A 1967 Gaggia Orione 2 group lever.
All the original gas side is in situ. Wanting to confirm the operating gas pressure for use with propane. The machine has come from Italy and is pre the current requirement of such data tag info? at least doesn't have it. I'm assuming it's...
