Recently I've purchased a Starbucks Barista espresso machine at my local salvation's army for $40. Seems like its in good condition overall, after i wiped it down it's looks sorta new. It's turns on and heats up fine but i think i got a problem that could be fixed if I'm told...
I've had my Office Leva Dual Boiler for 10+ years. Apart from a few LED segments missing on PID display, it has been rock-solid (NB: blank PID segments pre-date the about-to-be-described problem by a few years).
This whole ordeal started when i was replacing my solenoid valve and all the screws broke off in the base. This led me to replacing the entire group head collar service kit from ereplacement parts.,
This kit includes the following: shower head screw, thermal fuse, group/shower...
I always wanted custom knobs for my Profitec 700. But I bought the machine used and it had stock ones on it. Custom ones were just too steep a price for me, so I kind of thought that was that. The after a few years I randomly got access to some free slabs of 2 walnut. I figured...

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...
Last Saturday I posted that my BDB was tripping my GFCI wallplug circuit but seemed to work well from a neighboring wallplug. After looking for leaks and finding none, and after thoroughly drying it, I believed that the problem was my GFCI circuit, not my BDB.
I bought a second hand VBM Junior dual boiler. The machine was heavily neglected, so I revised the E61 group and took the thing apart to clean and descale.
I renewed the teflon tubing and the pressostat.
Now, the brewing part is working ok, building 8 bar with a blind...
