I'm an amateur but from my limited experience and research, I HIGHLY Recommend Insulating with the best all round insulation Polyester, AND for FREE!:

We just insulated our 1999 circa Marzocco Linea Espresso Machine with 2 boiler tanks.
If it was a 10 years newer model it...

Video pretty much explains it all. I turn on the machine, 2 coils get power on (they shouldnt be turning on), instantly opening up 2 valves. 1 reservoir over fills along with the boiler. Weirdly enough, the other reservoir does not overfill )valve doesnt open). Goal, need to...

Hello all,

I have an Elektra T3 2G. The unit was working properly. We had a quick power outage in the neighborhood, the power returned in a few seconds and at that point I heard a loud pop, and a visible spark from within the T3. Then, No power to the unit. I checked the...

I have a hard to find gauge and wanted to know if it can be rebuilt. I know it might be expensive and time consuming but I just want to know if it can even be done. My pump pressure gauge is stuck at 7 bar. Is there a method for cleaning one? I know I can just go get a new one...

I...

Purchased a used Lelit Mara (not an X) about four months ago and in the last week found that it was overheating. (It hadn't been before.) The group head thermometer is hitting high 220s at which point the machine began to make some very loud noises. Released steam and drained...

Hey! Long-time lurker here... My BES920XL developed a super slight leak in the boiler, only noticed because it was slightly audible and the pump would run at random times. It took an unreasonable amount of dissembly and investigation to diagnose, but it was leaking ever so...

I have a Breville Infuser that is 13 years old. Worked great for several years but eventually solenoid issue arose. I couldn't get parts at the time , so I packed it up and it has sat in storage for 5 years now. I've pulled it back out and I think I could make the necessary...
