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've recently been restoring Single-group Italian Espresso machines as a bit of a hobby. Mostly it involves testing components, replacing some (mostly gaskets and seals, and a certain amount of polishing. However I sometimes come up against a really bunged up copper tubing. -...
I tore down my four-year-old Synchronika recently because I needed to replace the steam boiler gasket, among other routine annual maintenance tasks. Being ham-handed, I managed to create other problems, including a couple of leaks that I tracked down and fixed. However, there is...

I started having problems with my Rancilio S20 MIDI, at first I thought it was the water level probe. Water would leak out the anti-depression valve when ever I switched on the machine and I would have to empty a pitcherful of water from the steam wand before I could use it. I...
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...
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...
