Good afternoon, all.

I bought my Euro 2000 used on EBay back in 2003. I paid $700. Here it is 2023, and my machine is still going strong! Well...I think. I have always made lattés so I admit that I was never keenly aware of my espresso quality.

I am determined to remedy...

Hi
my ECM Mechanika always showed a pressure of 1.2 bar for the steam foam unit. This morning it raised to over 2 bar and then suddenly steam came out of somewhere in the machine.

I assume the steam temperature sensor is broken which is why the water gets too hot and the steam...

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,...

I was originally planning on sticking a Procon Micro Vane pump into my MaraX, but it was just barely too large for the frame, so that idea got canned.

I still have the pump, though, and with a Silvia Pro on its way to me, so that got me thinking: Can I make it work in the...

I asked this in another thread, but since it was buried in a thread of a different topic I decided to move it to it's own thread instead.

Does anyone know how Filter Logic's 'Silicone Lubricant CFL651' compares to Molykote 111 when it comes only to food safety?

I know that...

I stumbled across what appeared to be a nice, one-owner, 90S a couple weeks ago. It was being sold because it no longer controlled it's pressure, and an attempt at repair, had failed. It's arrived and I'm looking forward to learning about it, repairing it, and of course, making...

When I clean my group head using a blind filter I run the pump for 10 seconds. When I turn it off and pressure is released I normally get a spurt of hot water from the nipple on the left side of the drain tray. Lately the pressure is not being released from the nipple. So when I...

I just replaced a faulty heater

Tested machine and tank filled up correctly with switch in position. Could hear pump running and verified boiler filled.

Tuned switch to position 2 and boilervheated up. Ran some water through group head and could hear pump running fine.

Ran...

At some point I read this post The Baratza Sette 270Wi deserves more love and I put it at the back of my mind that noise insulating your Sette with ceramic fibre was the done thing which works.

I then somehow decided this would be a good thing to do and went and ordered some...

Good morning! I'm hoping to get some suggestions from all the experts here. I have a QM67 that I've been using for 10-11 years with no issues. I've recently been experiencing an intermittent leak, and a couple of days ago we had a puddle (but just once). We've removed the cover...
