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...

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...

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...

I thought I was basically done with my Pro 700 repairs from before Christmas, but of course, nothing is so simple.

Since I had to work on the plumbing between the pump and boilers, I decided to pre-emptively replace the brew boiler's heating element gasket, since the original...

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,...

Hi all, it's been a while since I participated, although I still stop in regularly to read and get some info on minor fixes. First the ramblings/ background:

Seems like I'm on a reliable 6-1/2 year schedule for having my machine (one of the 'fire sale') disassembled and...

Hello there!
I have a real problem with my oracle. When I try to extract a shot there is no pressure because 50 % of the water runs out the hot water spout.
I have tried googling and even searching through this forum with no luck. I have removed a 2 way solenoid the one next to...

Hi,

My Alex Duetto III is having a too high pump pressure when I am pulling a shot. It starts with 9/10 bar and then a new sequence starts and the pump pressure increases to 12 to 14 bar. Could the pump be defect? I have not tried to adjust the pump pressure as the pump seems...
