If anyone has a spare plastic knob for the hot water control on the front of the Livia 90, I could give it a good home. (postage etc happily reimbursed, of course).

The one on my machine gave up its hold on the turning mechanism and I have been using a pair of pliers for the job, but Liv would look much more presentable if she had both knobs.

In case this isn't clear enough, I will take a picture later and append it to this post.

Hi Susan,
They are available brand new for $5 at https://pasquini.com/products/product-1 ... 7088&_ss=r When you make the purchase, you get 1 knob, with 2 face plates. Since you're paying for shipping anyway, consider grabbing a bag of their coffee, and a blue or orange portafilter gasket.

Excellent, thank you ))
I should have thought of that.
I bought my Livia from them (refurbished) years ago, and she has made me very happy.

Order placed ))))

You're welcome.

I just rescued one and with a lot of help from the folks on the forum here, learned a ton about it, and was able to repair it. I'm really enjoying it.

I followed all of that and was impressed with how readily you took and followed the excellent guidance you got.
Thank you for giving back )))

It was really fun, and my first "real" espresso machine. Everyone was really kind to give a newbie a hand.
