Good afternoon,

This is the second time my stock relay has crapped out on me in less than three years (although used a fair bit). I've recently paid for the large SSR from Profitec. Where is the best place to mount this? Any recommended heat sinks? The SSR is approximately...

I see videos on youtube of people soaking the groupehead, the boiler (sometimes), the boiler plate, the lever etc in liquid for cleaning. I'm assuming they are not using descaling solution as I understand it would damage the chrome. Therefore what is a safe way to soak those...

Hey fellow coffee enthusiasts,

Hi folks,

Thanks in advance...

Arrived from the old world last week. I just opened her up today and found to my surprise a gas kit, with ALOT of soot. I can live with soot as long as there is NO corrosion. All wiring was removed by someone... NO Pstat !? Wish me luck....

Hello, how are you? I bought my marax a few days ago and I'm seeing a behavior that I think is not normal. When I take a shot, the water comes out very hot and with bubbles.
It is my first espresso machine but from what I see in the videos and from the course I take it seems to...
