I recently purchased a used LMLM. Truly (at least in my opinion) a beautiful machine and I have really enjoyed the simple classic design and function. I did start to wonder what else it was capable of and went down the rabbit hole of MOD options. I considered (and purchased) the...
It's for an Iberital l'Anna one group. Also I've got a ton of lime scale. Any advice on cleaning it out? I might have to see if I can open up the other side of the boiler so I can get in there.
I'm trying to figure out which side is the top on the new heating element. The blue...
This is my first post here, unfortunately at a terrible time for my espresso machine :(
I picked up a used Silvia V1 recently. All was going pretty well and managed to have my 1-2 lattes per day for the 1st two weeks with the machine. Then suddenly one day post...

These are a Knipex 10 pliers wrench with added semi-hard plastic jaw protectors. The wrench...
Hi Folks! My Astra PRO acts very finicky at times when I try to pull a shot and I can't quite figure it out. When I flip the brew switch, the ULKA (EAX5) pump will emit a humming noise rather than the noise you'd expect to hear when properly pumping (and no water comes out at...
I bought this machine second hand from a dealer, and not long after I heard a pop and water flowed out from the bottom. I returned it for repair, and the guy said that a bottom hose had blown and he said he fixed it.
Six months later, I heard another pop, and water appeared...
