Hi guys, hoping to get some advice from those who have gone before..
Please see pics attached of element and bolts, do you think I can clean up this element and re-use it, perhaps with some new bolts? Or do you think the threads on the element would be too rusted to hold the...

Hello HB
Have been lurking this forum a lot while searching to get my first espresso machine. Now I have finally got the Faema Eurostar Ambassador, I am making my first post to share and document my journey to rebuild and most likely mod the machine (most likely PID, pressure...

Hello all just joined this community since I usually peered from outside. Got slightly used machine on the way, previous owner bought it new from WLL a year ago on release. It's been his daily driver and it didn't seem like he did full maintenance. Haven't done a backflush yet...

My machine turns on and warms up nominally, all lights turning on, but the moment I try to pour a shot of espresso, it trips the GFCI breaker. Every time I press the 1 or 2 cup button, the breaker trips.

So I opened the machine up and found no source for heavy leak, but did...

Hi,

Bought this used Pavoni. When i first bought it, it would heat up for a few times and then it made pluk noise and stop heating up.

Now i turn it on and it make a very light continuous noise as if it was warming up but very slowly, but it doesn't.

Check with a multimeter...

All of a sudden, the water is just trickling out of the shower screen, and the machine is making a mild grinding noise. It won't pump enough water to make a shot. What is causing this, and how can I fix it.
Thanks, it's hard to miss my daily cappuccino. :cry:
