I have a Quick Mill Silvano dual boiler machine its 6 years old. Today I can't seem to pull a shot when I move the lever to pull a shot I don't hear the pump and there is change in the pressure gauge. I the steam wand does work. Based on other posts I suspect the issue is 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...

Hello all,
Looking to upgrade my home espresso setup with some leftover Xmas money, I happened across this machine on Facebook Marketplace. Price seemed right, so I picked it up. At the moment, it's still in my trunk, as I can't carry it without help, and I haven't decided...

Hi There,

Would love a flow control kit but not sure I could live without the temp gauge -...

Hello,
