I'm looking for some help with my Duetto II. I have noticed steam hiss from the boiler safety valve for the past few weeks, and haven't figured out why yet. At first, I thought it was the fill probe (because I've had that issue before), but when I pulled it for...
My 15 year old trustworthy Giotto suddenly stopped producing steam and hot water this morning. The pressure gauge is normal as is the production of espresso. I am not sure if this is something I can deal with. Any suggestions?
My recently purchased from eBay la pavoni no longer turns on. I've read through the forum and know how to test connections and fuse (I think), but should I be concerned by the brown spots on the wire casings? Are those burn marks that suggest that I need to rewire? Thanks in...

Hello there everyone,
I was wondering if you could let me know the use of the 'right side group neck cap' (shown in the photo #8). Its a piece of angled metal piece, and I can't think what the purpose of it could be.
I've been lurking here for a while and it's been a great wealth of information, so hoping I can get some help. I think I may have sadly burned the heating element of my Europiccola. Does that little bump look like a busted heating element to you all as well? If so, what...
