So I'm about to embark on the full strip down of my Mac Digit single group from 1997. It has sat for many years and it shows! It came out of an Italian restaurant where they didnt seem to know what maintenance was. Let's just say it's pretty rough. However, I did get it for...

I have an original Faema family ... brass boiler. I'm trying to revive it and need a steam pipe. I actually have a few options, as you can see from the attached picture, I have the stub that comes out of the valve and it seems that 1) a straight wand that screws on to the 5mm...

Having owned both an Izzo Vivi and currently a Rocket R58, I wonder why the e61 brewgroup is so extremely tight to operate.
In both machines I replaced the valves and partially bought new springs too, lubed everything as per instructed by guides online, but I am getting to the...

So I recently purchased a ~10 year old Quick Mill Vetrano 2B. It's quite a beast!

Soon after I turned it on I ran into issues: among the low/no pressure issues which were solved by clearing clogs in a few jets, I noticed that the pump motor was very noisy whenever the cam lever...

Just contemplating a possibility here. On a large boiler, a PID determines the constant temperature of a large amount of water. This allows you to pull a number of shots in a row at a consistent temperature.

Sick of listening to the loud vibe pump in my Zaffiro. Ordered the quick mill pulsor and will look into insulation, but what about replacing the pump itself? Is there any point in replacing if it works- ie would a new/different pump be quieter?

TL:DR: Does anyone know how to remove the impeller from a Compak E10 OD?

Recently bought a Compak E10 from a cafe that had closed due to covid and was liquidating all their appliances and I'm having some issues getting it back into service. It was working when I took it home...

Hi all,

I have an issue with my solenoid valve inside my Expobar Brewtus. As foreseen in this thread ( Pump keeps running ), the issue that my solenoid does not trigger (i.e. water is not being pumped in the boiler but being pumped back in the water tank) came back. I have...
