    Dear coffee lovers i am in desperate need of you help. I have watched every tutorial and read every blog i can find and i am completely stuck. I decided to clean my shower plate recently and they decided to do a bit more and clean the shower holder and check the gasket, in a way I wish I...
  2. New Members Section
    Having just bought a new bean to cup machine and worked my way through their 'tester' bottle of cleaning solution for the milk system, I'm left wondering what the difference is between these expensive branded cleaning solutions Vs a few drops of washing up liquid. What do people use on here?
  3. Rancilio Forum
    I have a sylvia (V2 I think) and am getting an issue where water/steam is bubbling BACK into the water reservoir The temperature of the water is hot, but I don't think it's just thermostat failure, more likely a blockage or leak The flow is far too low out of the head. I've cleaned so far...
  4. Gaggia Forum
    Hey guys, asking for a friend here. Does anybody have advice for maintaining a Gaggia Classic 2015 (RI 9403/11)? Since there is no 3 way valve and a spring valve instead, backflushing is out right? Is just descaling every 3 months okay? Thanks in advance

    Hi all, I'm in the process of looking for a new machine, and I've narrowed it down to a Lelit Mara or a Sage DB. The thing putting me off the Lelit is the amount of maintenance that appears to be required on the group head. Having never had one, I don't know how much is actually needed, or how...

    Can someone please list some parts that typically need to be replaced on an Expobar Office Control? I live in North Africa, where I recently bought a used Expobar Office Control. It's working well, but I'm sure it will need some spare parts eventually. As parts are hard to come by in my...

    Can someone list some parts that typically need to be replaced on a Mazzer Super Jolly grinder? I live in North Africa, where I recently bought a used Mazzer SJ. It's working well, but I imagine it will need some spare parts eventually. It may have been used commercially in the past. As parts...

    Hi all, Just got myself a Eureka Mignon Silenzio yesterday (lovely piece of machinery), went through the included manual but I couldn't get any specifics on how often I should clean the inside of the grinder. How often do you guys do a shallow cleaning (vacuuming without top plate removal) and...

    I'm about to pull the trigger on an ECM Barista (and Mahlkonig Vario) but would appreciate some advice on what cleaning and maintenance regime to follow and what to use. I live in London so the water is hard. If I use bottled still water (like Tesco Ashbeck) will I still need to worry about...
  10. ECM / Profitec Forum
    Interested to see what people do to maintain their e61 pump machine (ECM or not) and grinder(s). Perhaps something like daily, monthly, yearly etc. Here's what I have though mine is evolving: Usage: 6-10 drinks per week - including milk drinks e61 HX espresso machine: Daily: fresh water...

    I bought a Cremina 2002 from this forum a couple of years ago, and have been enjoying it very much since then. I use it for one espresso daily, sometimes a bit more. In 2 years, I've had to replace some wiring (which was dodgy when I bought it), and the power switch (because the light stopped...

    Having removed the panels from my machine to give them a good polish and check on the internals of the machine, I was surprised to find the terminals on the steam boiler limit stat badly burned. Having had a word with Dave C and some solve by inspection, it turns out to be a fault inside the...

    Hi all Just ran the Gaggia descaling fluid through my classic, as my routine cleaning schedule. I happen to notice that the 'longer' tube that hangs down into the water reservoir has some slight discolouration inside it, toward the top (above the usual water level), before going up into the...
  14. Lever Forum 💪
    Just given LI a sixth monthly service - remove the piston, clean, relube and refit and clean shower screen in some Cafiza - half an hour in total. It is said levers give loads of feedback - none more so than when it's time to apply some TLC. LI's bite point was beginning to move from the...

    I have a Mahlkonig Vario. Love it to bits and woudl recommend to anyone looking for solid home machine. But I have had it for a while (about a year). Was wondering what kind of maintenance it needs to keep it at its best? I use it more or less daily. So I guess at some point burrs might need...
  16. Rocket Forum 🚀
    Hey all, having owned my R58 for a month or so now thought I had better ask about routine maintenance! I backflush with water after every session but currently thats all I do. Run bottled water through it so guessing a descale isnt needed just yet (and no idea how to go about it as only...

  18. Lever Forum 💪
    Howdy gang, I think that I ground too fine and tamped too hard! When I locked the portafilter into place and pulled down the lever to preinfuse, all seemed ok, until the lever was stalled and locked pointing at about 60 degrees from horizontal. After a moment the portafilter blew off and the...

    I am buying a year old Gaggia Baby Twin at the weekend for £80. I've already had a good search on the forum for relevant threads, but basically I'd like to know more about cleaning/de-scaling/servicing a Baby Twin to get the best out of the machine, so I pose a few numbered questions below...
