All of a sudden, the water is just trickling out of the shower screen, and the machine is making a mild grinding noise. It won't pump enough water to make a shot. What is causing this, and how can I fix it.
Thanks, it's hard to miss my daily cappuccino. :cry:

Hello,

I was just gifted a used Rocket Giotto (2011 I believe). I set it up and poured water into the tank and turned it on. It made a loud noise like it was pumping water. I left it alone for 30 minutes came back and lifted up the lever to let the water out. (Testing before I...

Howdy Howdy!
I've got a little side hobby going of repairing espresso machines and I recently bought a Breville Dual Boiler that just said it did not work. I took a gamble on it and purchased the broken machine with my only clue being that the machine had a replacement plug on...

Reaching out to all out there who are familiar with Mac 2000. I was careful to take multiple pictures while i descaled the entire machine. Have owned it for almost 20 years and was able to trace my problems down to needing to be heavily descaled but also I am having an issue...

As I carried it our from the...

Cleaned our Giotto and the pressure gauge reads .4 bar when machine is off and cold.

Pulled the gauge out and currently have stem soaking in descale bath.

Not sure if this will work.

Any other suggestions on getting the gauge back to normal.

This machine is 10+ yrs old...

Think I've done everything that can reasonably work & fit, and done it all very inexpensively. My total investment remains somewhere under $160, for a machine with PID and flow control and deck lights and fancy unpressurized portafilters etc.

So here's the final item. The unit...

Hi all,

First post here after lurking for a while and finding tons of great information. I originally landed here while looking for info on the Starbucks Barista (SIN006) which I had picked up used and semi-functioning a few months ago. It's been solid but I'm the tinkering...

Hi everyone,

I'm owning a Rocket Appartamento and I have been modifying it over the years. One of the latest mods was swapping the standard pressure gauge for a dual pressure gauge that not only reflects the boiler pressure but also the pump pressure.

After working as a...
