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.

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.

As you can see on...

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...

It's for an Iberital l'Anna one group. Also I've got a ton of lime scale. Any advice on cleaning it out? I might have to see if I can open up the other side of the boiler so I can get in there.

I'm trying to figure out which side is the top on the new heating element. The blue...

Hi Everyone, I have a Breville Barista Express BE870 that is only a few years old, and there appears to be a blockage in the group head as only minimal or intermittent water comes through - the steam wand and hot water work fine however. It is however using a lot of water so...

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 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,...
