I have a Vibiemme Domobar Super that is 17 years old. Usually when I turn it on to position 1 the pump would normally sound for 2-5 seconds however it has suddenly started taking 15-20 seconds before the pump turns off. I suspect something is about to fail. Has anyone...

We recently bought an old Pasquini Livia 90 and it turned out needed some attention.

I replaced the pump and it worked perfectly, but when I left the machine on, it shut off after a few hours, with only the power light on -- in case you're wondering it was not the water level....

Hi all, I recently purchased a PID Control Retrofit KIT for Rancilio Silvia from Auber. This kit will work on my Faema Family but I'm having difficulty determining where to connect the Auber power supply (VIA SSR). I have been unable to locate a Faema Family wiring schematic....

Greetings! I have successfully performed maintenance on my E61 grouphead once before. I have a rocket appartamento.

I would appreciate any advice.
Fanks.

Good morning coffee heads. I found an Enrico of Italy CE-12 in a small town antique shop for a few bucks. I know this is not a high quality machine, but it was cheap and looked like fun to restore. It is in decent shape but missing the drip pan and worst of all the portafilter....

Hi guys, reaching out here because I really need some input regarding how to troubleshoot my GS/3
