I purchased a used Elektra Delizosa last week and have just gotten around to testing it. I have it connected to a Flojet and the boiler filled without issue, and I brought the machine up to temp. The P stat needed some adjustment for ideal operation. My question is I'm not able...

Wanted to share the following quick and cheap fix I came up with for the broken backlight issue on the Rocket R58 PID controller.

Some time ago I recall hearing a rattling in my PID and I thought nothing of it. Come to realize a few years later that the display backlight is...

Hello,

With the help of past threads, I managed to fully disassemble my Zacconi La Riviera this morning. Overall, the machine is in decent shape, but I do have a couple of issues / questions, as I am fairly new to espresso machine work.

My system is an external pump, accumulator, a Watts 560 regulator with pressure gauge, a downstream...

Looking to upgrade my home espresso setup with some leftover Xmas money, I happened across this machine on Facebook Marketplace. Price seemed right, so I picked it up. At the moment, it's still in my trunk, as I can't carry it without help, and I haven't decided...

Have a La Spaziale Special EK where water isn't moving through the group head. Water comes out of the steam wand and hot water tap. Trying to trouble shoot what might cause this before I start pulling the machine apart. It was bought at an auction so it had probably been...
