Hi all -
I have an Isomac Millenium that's having the occasional problem with heating. A little while back it wouldn't heat, and so I ran diagnostics inside and ended up with a bad thermal fuse, so I replaced and it worked fine. Then more recently, the heating element failed,...

I purchased a used Elektra Delizosa last week and have just gotten around to testing it. I have it connected to a Flojet and the boiler filled without issue, and I brought the machine up to temp. The P stat needed some adjustment for ideal operation. My question is I'm not able...

Hello, I'm in a really weird situation. I've had a Silvia v3 for ~7 years that has worked great. About 5 years ago I installed a PID. It's model # is SYL-1512BW-F. Again it's worked great up until tonight.

All I did was I went into the settings of the PID and changed the...

Hi all,

I'm a brand newbie when it comes to espresso machine (or any machine for that matter) maintenance. To the point where I had to google what a gasket is

Anyway, I've been gifted a Rancilio Silvia machine that I think is a v1. It works beautifully but needs a solid...

Hi all, first time here, looking to bring back to life a lovely Isomac Tea.
I was told that it was broken and am attempting to repair because it looks to good to be DOA.

I believe first issue was a continuous running pump that I rectified with a new GICAR NRL30/1E-2C/F...

Heya,

I forgot to empty my drip tray last night and found it overflowing this morning after the heat-up cycle... a fair bit (maybe 1/2 Cup) had spilled out before I noticed it... any risk of water getting where it shouldn't that would warrant opening things up? Looking at the...

Hi Baristas!

I bought a used Profitec Pro 500 for a good price as the previous owner had some issues with the machine not heating up once in a while. He would keep it on all day which I've read in several places will put strain on the already over-performing SSR.

Got the...

So I'm plumbing my LR to use an external reservoir and bypass the internal pump. I have everything put together now but am having some issues with the pressure regulator.

My system is an external pump, accumulator, a Watts 560 regulator with pressure gauge, a downstream...

Still beating my head against the two group Riviera. Got most of it sorted, but still have persistent leaking once it starts to come up to pressure. What is odd is that the leaking usually stops once it's up to pressure.

So far I've disassembled both groups about eight times....
