Any tips on how to break the allen head bolt in the image below loose? It is the bolt holding the lower burr carrier in place and it has withstood my best efforts even with my impact driver.

Thought about spraying it with some sort of penetrating oil, but I am a little...

Hi, I have a president 1gr, arrived with stolen back panel. Fck!. I need some help to find another or how can I make one or sticker. Thank you very much

I have a Pasquini Livia G4 (rebadged Bezzera BZ13) with PID. Today when I turned it on, it started making loud noises almost immediately (before hitting temperature). A quick google search revealed a vacuum in the boiler might be a problem, so I hit the steam wand and a bunch of...

Hi Everyone - I have Evoluzione 2 that's about 6-7 years old. Starting about 3 month ago, the machine started to stutter when turning on - After switching on the machine, the light will turn green for 2-3 seconds, and then turns off for another couple of seconds. This pattern...

I got a ECM Sync flow control about 11 months ago. I have it plumbed in with a water filter system. I understand that I shouldn't have to descale very often, but is there a place to check for any buildup?

Hi All,

I have a QuickMill Anita purchased from Chris Coffee in 2006. E-61 grouphead.

Long story short: no water comes out of the group head, as it should when you move the lever up. Pressure builds up, visible on the gauge, but the water doesn't come out of the group head....

Well, I've been looking for a machine to work on and although not the plan now have three. A La Marzocco Linea 2 group, Brasilia Century 2 group and a Astra automatic that I'm not particularly interested in but was included.

I've just begun looking into them. All seem to be...

I recently acquired a pre owned, and very well maintained Livia 90. It's fully functional and will pull a shot reasonably well.

That said, when I turn it on, it will get to pressure at about 1.2 bars (1/4 of the way into the green zone ). However, after this, it will slowly...

Problem started with pump running excessively, possibly the water tank was slightly dislodged but not enough to trigger a warning.

What happens now is that steam is about half steam and half water, and the pump runs more than I would expect. Sometimes the pump is running full...
