Hi all!
I'm about 2yrs into the coffee journey, and thought it would be fun to get an old school espresso machine because I have a thing for vintage appliances. Just found a Somac Splendida. Mechanically it's like the Isomac Giada, but without the pressure gauge. The machine was...
In November, my Ring water detector alerted me that there was a leak on my Synchronika. I opened it up and found a very small leak from some rusted areas around the seams of the brew boiler. This is the second time I have had a Brew Boiler...
Took my Crossland CC1 out of storage after a couple of years. It appears something is clogged? The pump runs but it's not pulling water from the resevior and no water comes out of the grouphead. What do you think? Where should I look?

I own a VBM HX Jr (manuf. 2012) that is about 10-years old. Over the years things have not worked but I have been pretty successful in figuring why and fixing it, but I am stumped and need some help.

Hi,
I've been using a Delonghi EC680 for some time and recently went into the espresso rabit-hole. That's when I decided that it's time for a new hobby. As a first 'real' machine I've put my hands on Lelit Anita PL042TEMD which arrived today. I followed the instructions and did...
Sick of listening to the loud vibe pump in my Zaffiro. Ordered the quick mill pulsor and will look into insulation, but what about replacing the pump itself? Is there any point in replacing if it works- ie would a new/different pump be quieter?
