I'd like to descale my Quick Mill Alexia Evo, a single-boiler E61 machine with a TEA coated boiler. A previous thread from 2017 with the same title as this one suggested dismantling the machine, which I prefer to avoid. It also made no specific suggestions for a descaling...

My Izzo Vivi pump (Ulka Type EX5) seems to buzz fine, up until mid-brewing, and then it seems to silence/mute down to maybe 20% sound, while still providing some pressure, though I'm guessing not exactly full pressure. It seems to influence the flow.

I just bought a new grinder...

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....

After almost 3 years of flawless performance, my Quickmill 67 EVO had a brew pressure problem this morning.

Under the resistance of coffee or the blind back flush basket, the pressure would not go above 4 bar.

The pump is functioning properly. I open the flow control and get...

A few months ago I noticed that steam was wafting out of the drip tray. It appears to be coming from the left discharge area. There is also steam that comes out of the water intake spot on the top of the machine. I have a student technician who has opened the machine up before...

HI,

I've recently purchased the Lelit Elizabeth. I've been a fan of Dave Corbey's website, and know-how of the Lelit Mara X and Elisabeth. After the initial flush I set all parameters from the advanced menu to his suggested settings. After doing this I noticed that the pressure...

Here's one for the Forum to try and solve.

I have a Fracino Little Gem espresso machine. Manual fill, electronic pad shot control, E61 head, warning lights for internal water tank empty and boiler filling.

In the morning when you turn it on from cold, the lights on the...

Wow it's been a while... 3 kids will do that. hello old friends.

I noticed a few weeks ago that my machine will not build brew pressure. I have it plumbed in and it gets line pressure but nothing else.

It does not appear to be a gauge issue as it responds appropriately when I...

Hi there I have an old Euro 2000 HX machine (from the early 2000s) with a goofy steam wand that's hard to use because it only moves up down, not on a ball joint. From what I read the machine uses similar internals and parts as Isomac and Quickmill machines from this time.

I...
