I was lucky (?) enough to pick up an Isomac Tea recently but after a few months of use it literally said poof . A repair shop quoted an ungodly amount for replacing the control box (which they said was the issue) so instead I ordered a Gicar NRL30 9.1.40.71G which...
Hi all,
I am in the process of fixing up my first real espresso machine; an Expobar Office Pulser in mostly working condition (I needed a project to keep me busy and off the streets). It needs a thorough descaling, the replacement of some leaking fittings and seals, but besides...
I have a leak from the steam wand connection to the machine. This look developed in the last few days after I followed Peter's excellent explanation on flipping the steam wand seals. I also replaced all the o-rings with 007 nee ones while I was at it. All of this I did...
I have a Rancilio S24 which I bought brand new, years ago.
As of the other day (4/21/21) I started having issues where:
> Machine would turn on and build up to 1.3 Bar pressure
> If I open the steam for steaming the pressure would go down (not build back up) and the amount of...
I bought a used Breville BES900XL in 2016 and it broke after a good 5 years of daily usage. The steam wand has been leaking for quite some time and now it does not heat up to the correct temperature anymore. It heats up and down to 212 F? And I'm unable to get a single shot. I...
Hi there!
I need a bit of help. I just sold my Microcimbali on Ebay. Sadly, it doesn't seem to work for the person who bought it (hi Luke!), as it is leaking through the safety valve. This is a new issue and not one that I had when I used it on a daily basis. Upon his request, I...
HI,
I'm starting a journey to rebuild a Rancilio Epoca 2Gr that I picked up. One of the first things wrong is that the 2-way fill solenoid partially leaks. It originally was plugged/wouldn't open, so I pulled it apart and cleaned it up/descaled. But now, after the first fill...
When I start the pump there is a delay before the water pressure rises to the set level at ~9 bars. The delay is anywhere between 3 seconds and 30 seconds. See video for example. 7-8 seconds delay in this case. This is with blind filter. I'm using water from tank (not plumbed...
I have a Gaggia Coffee that I would like to adjust the pressure on. I was originally going to buy the OPV below to replace my non adjustable one but after further thought I'm going to try and clip the spring on mine first to see if I can hit the right pressure, worst case I buy...
