Hello,

Long time lurker with first post here.

Am about to change the steam boiler vacuum breaker on my GS/3 AV from the old style, to the new SMA version, part number B.2.029.

I have seen images of others doing this, but am left with a few questions, the most urgent being...

Hey all, I opened my Gaggia Baby Twin to re align the steam valve and cam, it works well now however I can't seem to put the adhesive heating element back in all the way inside that's at the top below the cover.

Does anyone know what this heating element is for and will it...

Hello,

I recently got my hands on a La Cimbali M20C/1. I have a fair bit of experience operating espresso machines, but not much restoring them. I think I have figured out all the levers and switches, but there are two wires coming from the bottom of the machine.

Hello.

Preinfusion is set for 7 seconds and at 60% pressure.
This has been happening since a little more than a month.

Synchronika Brew Boiler Rust issues

My CC1 is leaking at the steam valve. Pantechnicon Design sells the steam valve rebuild kit:

Has anyone done this repair? Can you point me to any documentation/tutorial on how to do this? I've taken the steam valve apart, and have some idea of how these parts fit together,...

About a year ago, with much help from this forum, I rebuilt my 20 year old LaScalla butterfly. It's been working flawlessly up until today. This morning when I turned it on, I could smell the dreaded burning electrical smell (AKA letting the smoke out). Looking in through the...

After an exhausting retrofit of a ton of things on this GS3, it's back up and running along with the new conical valve setup.

I have a tiny drip out of the grouphead through the screen, about maybe a drop every 30-60s. I tore it apart and double-checked all the o-rings,...

Following the advice of some forum members, rather upgrading I added the Coffee Sensor flow control kit to my Zaffiro to occupy myself. I also have the quick mill pulsor en route to help quiet things down.

Installation was easy, but my old mushroom valve had some pretty...
