Hi - long time 'lurker' (have relied heavily on this community without having to post my own questions for years now) so first hello, and thank you for being such a great resource.

I am in the midst of a full refurb on a Brasilia Mini Classic and have basically a 2-part...

Hi,

I inadvertently swapped the Programming key and water dispensing key during the reprogramming of a Rocket Boxer 2 group machine.

After some investigation, I deduced that the Gicar doser controller was reset to its default layout. I would like to change back the keyboard...

Having owned both an Izzo Vivi and currently a Rocket R58, I wonder why the e61 brewgroup is so extremely tight to operate.
In both machines I replaced the valves and partially bought new springs too, lubed everything as per instructed by guides online, but I am getting to the...

I have a 11-yr-old Crossland CC1 that has been giving me a lot of trouble recently. During a regular shot the pump changed its sound (went quieter) and all flow from the grouphead stopped. There seemed to be water flowing into the pump, which would then hit the OPV and go back...

Putting some info here in case it helps others.

Summary: I have a 10 year old Crossland CC1 V1.0. It recently stopped heating - when I turned it on, I'd get setup then --- flashing, then an error code due to timeout after lack of heating, and the boiler would be cold. This is...

Good afternoon, all.

I am determined to remedy...

I'm at my wit's end. I've never attempted repair of an espresso machine before (other than slight leakage) and this has been a rough introduction.

At first I thought it was probably the infuser so I replaced it. Then I thought it must be the pump and I managed to replace it....

So I recently purchased a ~10 year old Quick Mill Vetrano 2B. It's quite a beast!

Soon after I turned it on I ran into issues: among the low/no pressure issues which were solved by clearing clogs in a few jets, I noticed that the pump motor was very noisy whenever the cam lever...

Just received the machine, plug it in, 5mins after I found out that was leaking water, uncrew 4 bolts and found this:

Other angle :

Tried to tight it up, but I cant, I also cant unscrew it.

Any help?

Synchronika Brew Boiler Rust issues

In November, my Ring water detector alerted me that there was a leak on my Synchronika. I opened it up and found a very small leak from some rusted areas around the seams of the brew boiler. This is the second time I have had a Brew Boiler...
