Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first-time poster.

I've had my Appartamento for over a year now and used it this morning to pull a shot. Decided to descale as well since it's about that time.

Upon emptying the tank with steam pressure and putting dezcal in the reservoir, I...

Hi everyone! I'm new here but no stranger to the forum life. So nice to see the mania extends to coffee! As is to be expected, a problem precipitated my first post here. I have a Rancilio Silvia, a later model based on the braided stainless line from the pump to the boiler....

I had mentioned in my other post about getting a La Marzocco with the Brasilia. So now that the Brasilia is effectively done, getting into the La Marzocco.

Overall not in horrible shape but not as good as I'd initially thought. There are a lot of iffy components that are...

Ok, I just received my Rocket Giotto Cronometro R, everything seems ok but when I pull a shot the pressure goes up to 9 bars but when its done the gauge rest at 4 bars. May seem petty but I'm thinking something has to be wrong, I tried contacting where I bought it and of course...

I see several issues with it currently and would love to repair it myself with your help:

1. After sitting idle for hours the water...

Hi guys, I got handed an Isomac Venus as my first espresso machine, but it was in storage for several years and was not cleaned before that. I took apart the shower, ran cafiza and dezcal, but when I pour just hot water through it, it tastes very weird. I also noticed that there...

I'm trying to replace the steam boiler heating element gasket/seal (left side). How do I disconnect the 2 wires attached to it? It is heat shrink wrapped so do I need to cut it open?

After seeing thread of another kitchaid pro line espresso machine here I went to work on mine once I got my oring kits ... took the time to do a good cleaning of the twin boilers and sheesh... I don't think this machine had descaling EVER done on it... explained why I had spotty...
