I have a long story of frustration with Barista Touch: suddenly, it stopped heating water, espresso shots came out cold, same happened to hot water and steam.
Over many experiments, it was noticed that sometimes the temperature goes up, then quickly goes down without...
I was just doing some work on a new-to-me machine and was reminded how much soft jaws that actually grip but don't scratch chrome or distort bolt threads just make things easier.
These are a Knipex 10 pliers wrench with added semi-hard plastic jaw protectors. The wrench...
I noticed a weird behaviour of my 1 year ++ Oscar 2. lately i can't hear the vibration pump sound when i switch on the machine. From my past 18 months with the machine, when i turn on, the pump will normally activated for few seconds to fill up the boiler. However, i no...
Ive had and loved my Gaggia Classic for over a year now and ive done some work on it and feel comfortable with it. A friend just gifted me a Appartmento and i feel overwhelmed. He had it in for a repair a few months back, I believe they replaced the controller board. It worked...
First, a huge thank you to this great forum and all the info here. This is my first post, though I have read and learned a lot for years on here. Thank you all!

Noticed that the top of the machine is still very hot hours after turning the machine off (still plugged in and on at the socket). The steam wand also drips.
I've opened up the machine and could see scale on top of the steam boiler from a leaky connection. Thought maybe...
I have an unusual problem with my BES920 machine: the steam boiler heats up (but doesn't overheat) despite the machine being off. A Killer Watt device shows the power draw regularly cycling between 1kW and 0.6W while...
It's for an Iberital l'Anna one group. Also I've got a ton of lime scale. Any advice on cleaning it out? I might have to see if I can open up the other side of the boiler so I can get in there.
I'm trying to figure out which side is the top on the new heating element. The blue...
