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...

I asked this in another thread, but since it was buried in a thread of a different topic I decided to move it to it's own thread instead.

Does anyone know how Filter Logic's 'Silicone Lubricant CFL651' compares to Molykote 111 when it comes only to food safety?

I know that...

Good afternoon, all.

I bought my Euro 2000 used on EBay back in 2003. I paid $700. Here it is 2023, and my machine is still going strong! Well...I think. I have always made lattés so I admit that I was never keenly aware of my espresso quality.

I am determined to remedy...

I'm at my wit's end. I've never attempted repair of an espresso machine before (other than slight leakage) and this has been a rough introduction.

At first I thought it was probably the infuser so I replaced it. Then I thought it must be the pump and I managed to replace it....

Last week my Linea Mini steam know just stopped working. I can spin it in either direction with no end. Its basically similar to a stripped screw. Called La Marzocco and turns out I have the first version of walnut knob customization. They had some issues with that and have seen...

So I recently purchased a ~10 year old Quick Mill Vetrano 2B. It's quite a beast!

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 stumbled across what appeared to be a nice, one-owner, 90S a couple weeks ago. It was being sold because it no longer controlled it's pressure, and an attempt at repair, had failed. It's arrived and I'm looking forward to learning about it, repairing it, and of course, making...

Hi
my ECM Mechanika always showed a pressure of 1.2 bar for the steam foam unit. This morning it raised to over 2 bar and then suddenly steam came out of somewhere in the machine.

I assume the steam temperature sensor is broken which is why the water gets too hot and the steam...

My CC1 is leaking at the steam valve. Pantechnicon Design sells the steam valve rebuild kit:

Has anyone done this repair? Can you point me to any documentation/tutorial on how to do this? I've taken the steam valve apart, and have some idea of how these parts fit together,...
