Hi All-

Over the course of the last few months, my Breville Dual Boiler has had some issues and now it just won't turn on. Here is the order of symptoms:

1. Started leaking water from the back, originally thought it was an overfilled water tank.
2. Steam started coming from...

Before I dive in and spend good money on a new rotary vane pump for my E61 I just wanted to gather a consensus that my diagnosis is correct.
The check valve (non-return valve) that comes between my pump and the thermosyphon loop is making a lot of noise.
I replaced it but it...

Hi all

I am trying to fit anti vacuum valve along with new pressurestat to my old Cremina (1979).

With the heating element unplugged, i pull the lever and water is coming out of the vacuum relief valve located on top.

I did a visual check on the refill solenoid's internal and it seems alright. The solenoid could magnetize...

Hello!

I have an Breville Oracle (not the touch) that is only 4 months old. Today I descaled the machine and now it is having issues heating up. It heats up to 162 degrees, but won't go past there. The machine requires the water to heat to 200 before it will work. I have tested...

I'm in the middle of renovating an older ECM Technika IV. I have a leak at the top of the steam wand assembly I'm trying to fix, but the design has me stumped!

For this model, the main lower nut (28) tightens against a lock nut (7) on the threaded valve body (6). In between...

Hello everyone!

TLDR: I designed a short hopper for the Ditting 804 (Lab Sweet)

First time poster here. I wanted to share my recent Ditting DIY hopper. I will add a bit of context in case you don't own a Ditting, or if you are thinking about purchasing one but feel like its...
