Hello,

I just got back my appartamento after a long international relocation.

For some reason the machine turns off exactly at the two minutes mark. It just goes into blinking. It is always at two minutes mark. It maintains pressure in the boiler but doesn't start the pump...

My heating element sticks on and pops the safety release valve. It only happens after turning on first thing each morning and warming the machine up from cold. The display shows that it is NOT commanding the element to stay on, but it continues heating beyond the set point until...

I got a new vacuum breaker for my GS3 from a very reputable and knowledgeable espresso dealer. Now, the new breaker (on the top) is actually bigger than the old one (at the bottom).

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

I just won a bid for a no-pump steam-based espresso machine ( Salter EK3131 ) and I plan to experiment with it as a dedicated milk steaming device. I figure that with a 240ml boiler and an 870W heating element it should be able to steam milk reasonably well. I could be wrong,...

Just wondering and I don't remember as I've had the machine for like 3 years now. Is it normal for ecm synch to be kinda loud when initially lifting the brew handle. It sounds like a loud rattle my machine is plumbed in currently showing 2 bar maybe 2.5 bar sometimes. I took off...

Unfortunately, there is still a leak in the metal...

Hi everyone- my ECM Synchronika needs some TLC after 5 years, so I thought I'd check here for suggestions so I can be more efficient once I open her up.

About 1.5 years ago I installed the high pressure steam upgrade. In general, I am very lax on maintenance and cleaning and...

Hi everyone.
I just bought a used Rocket R58 (2015 model), coming from a HX machine. I grew tired of temperature-surfing.
I have a few questions regarding this machine or dual boilers in general:

1. I couldn't help but installing Eric's thermometer on the e61 just to check how...

Hello,

First time poster after going through numerous helpful posts. The issue I'm having has really confused me. For background a close friend of mine passed me his machine as he's moving back to Europe, he had mentioned it recently had stopped being able to reach the right...
