I have an old Rancilio Silvia. Today it was left turned on for a long while (just the power, not brewing or any other mode). At some point, I heard the pump working for longer than expected. I tried turning the machine off and letting it rest, but when I turned it back on the...
For 10 years i've been the happy owner of the basic Lelit PL41EM. The one without a PID. Now after 10 years the gasket has worn out inside the boiler which I discovered after some research. Unfortunately, in my enthusiasm to take a better look what the problem was, I forgot to...
I have owned my Pro800 for a few years now, have always kept it clean and regularly maintained the group (new seals annually). Beyond that, the machine has not undergone any maintenance or repairs. Has only had Crystal Geyser bottled water (Mt. Shasta source).
The laptop I've been using for several years with my Huky roaster finally died so I'll need to install Artisan along with the drivers for my ancient 1048_0 Phidget on the new Win 10 laptop. I'm looking at Phidgets and see the latest version is now 1048_2B. I wonder if the...
Hi there folks. Some time since my last issue, but I am having issues again with the boiler not heating.
I have been following various threads on here and have concluded (I think rightly) that the water level in boiler is not sufficient to engage the element. So am focussing on...

A few days ago my pasquini livia 90 started having low flow issues. The steam and hot water spigot work perfectly; however, the group head is pushing out very little water. My first thought is that it's either the 3 way solenoid or the pump? I descaled + backflushed with Joe...
I'm a Lelit combi owner and recently came across another Lelit machine (PL41PLUSTAUS) on FB marketplace with PID and 58MM grouphead that seemed like a potential upgrade over my current PL042QE not to mention the original PL042 I had before that.
I love espresso but have never owned a machine. Figured I'd try buying a used one for starters before buying a new one. I found this Gaggia OWC for $50, and didn't realize until bringing it home that it seems to be missing the steel tube on the left hand side....
Got super lucky with FB Marketplace yesterday, a 1990 Olympia Maximatic for $100. The seller said it had been sitting in a garage for a couple of years so I was prepared for the worst, but fortunately it turns on and gets up to steam. No water is coming out of the grouphead, but...
