I will be ordering a GS3 MP. After seeing the maintenance documentation regarding ownership after 6 months and a year, should I follow the maintenance checklists if I'm using the machine daily for mostly light use? Maybe a shot or two a day? I plan to run the machine for roughy...

Need help on my BDB. Posting here for visibility

It started purging water randomly a few minutes after I turn it on, and it purges for some 5-10 minutes.

I opened it up and it appears to be coming from the steam boiler? Not sure yet...

Also there's a tube that has a lot of...

I found this thread here
Unic Phoenix
But there isn't enough information for a HOW TO A CONVERSION and I was hoping someone could help me out with this. She works great and I would hate to have to give up on her. Any info would great be appreciated. Also, the links on that...

I just overpaid for a Rancilio Epoca single group machine, and have torn it apart. Lots of issues. Mostly I think I can get everything back to operational, but I broke the capillary on the Bipoler Thermostat , aka Save Heating Element . I've bought a replacement, but I have a...

I have a Delonghi Magnifica ESAM3300 that has worked wonderfully for about a decade but over the past few weeks the steam wand function has been almost unusable. I've opened it up to check for anything obvious like leaks, corrosion, or bad o-rings, broken springs, etc... and...

I have a nice Vesuviana 3 cup electric maker, but no porta filter. Can someone recommend a suitable replacement? I need the type that has just tabs on the sides. I have included a picture of the type porta filter that looks like what I need.
Thanks, Kev

I have been cleaning up a single group 1991 La San Marco 85-16m. I was pleasantly surprised after tearing it down and descaling, replacing the element, a solenoid coil, the sight glass, and a few seals everything worked. Except the flow meter was leaking.

Replaced the o-ring,...

Hi Espresso Brothers and Sisters: Recently I started studying the Pasquini Livia 90 because there have been a lot of them showing up for Parts on the Bay, for $250-300! Weren't these machines like $1200+ new, in their time? So I took the plunge and decided to learn to work on...
