I picked up an old Elektra Deliziosa 115v machine, in need of repair, along with a lot of spare parts - group, grouphead, portafilters, p-stats, Gicars, lamps, group gaskets, on and on.
I'll post pics later - tired, drove 7 hours round trip to get this.
I was making an espresso yesterday with my usual weight of beans and the same grinder settings I've used for ages and my machine choked. After cleaning the grinder, I had the same issue this morning and eventually had to move my Kinu from 0-9-0 to 1-1-0 to get back to my...
As you can see, it's missing a button. The underlying function apparently works okay, it's purely a cosmetic issue at present. The grinder is for sale for $255 in this state. Does anyone know if it's repairable? is it worth buying and repairing for home use? Looking at spare...
Hi! Got my first espresso machine two weeks ago and just ran into some troubles with the steam wand.
The other day i was making myself some cappuchino and was unable to froth my milk due to bad steam pressure. Shut the machine down and let it cool off, noticed the two holes in...

Hi all,
My Bezzera Magica PID is having a bit of a brew pressure problem. These few weeks during extractions, the brew pressure gauge on the front panel has been staying at around 2.5 bars resulting in watery extractions so I started a series of troubleshooting processes....
Any idea what would cause the vacuum breaker valve to overflow?
I had an issue with the vacuum breaker not closing properly and recently replaced it. While taking it out, the middle pin dropped into the steam boiler and i had to disconnect everything and take out the boiler to...
I pulled the covers off of my 2015 Vibiemme Domobar SBDU Piccolo and found a small amount of water under the element which is under the boiler (see schematic linked below).
Covers were removed for unrelated reason- was taking some measurements for an upcoming PID install.

I'm in the middle of renovating an older ECM Technika IV. I have a leak at the top of the steam wand assembly I'm trying to fix, but the design has me stumped!
For this model, the main lower nut (28) tightens against a lock nut (7) on the threaded valve body (6). In between...
