I recently purchased a used Oscar I to replace a previous Oscar with broken boiler.
I have been having troubles with the shot times varying from 18 to 120+ seconds. Most often the first shot pulls at about 25-40 seconds, but the following shots are slow. I have noticed the pump...
Hi
I know it's a long shot, but I hope that you'll be able to help. I own an old espresso machine that I know that it has at least two brand names: spresso concept and the other: pony espresso. the machine served me well until now, when it got faulty and I would like to try to...
I've recently purchased the Lelit Elizabeth. I've been a fan of Dave Corbey's website, and know-how of the Lelit Mara X and Elisabeth. After the initial flush I set all parameters from the advanced menu to his suggested settings.After doing this I noticed that the pressure...
Still beating my head against the two group Riviera. Got most of it sorted, but still have persistent leaking once it starts to come up to pressure. What is odd is that the leaking usually stops once it's up to pressure.
So far I've disassembled both groups about eight times....

Hi there I have an old Euro 2000 HX machine (from the early 2000s) with a goofy steam wand that's hard to use because it only moves up down, not on a ball joint. From what I read the machine uses similar internals and parts as Isomac and Quickmill machines from this time.
A few months ago I noticed that steam was wafting out of the drip tray. It appears to be coming from the left discharge area. There is also steam that comes out of the water intake spot on the top of the machine. I have a student technician who has opened the machine up before...
Hi all, first time here, looking to bring back to life a lovely Isomac Tea.
I was told that it was broken and am attempting to repair because it looks to good to be DOA.
I believe first issue was a continuous running pump that I rectified with a new GICAR NRL30/1E-2C/F...
