  1. Sage Forum
    Hello everyone, I’m really hoping someone can help as I’m stumped my sage barista SE suddenly dropped pressure with a nasty buzz sound. From research this sounded like the solonoid valves, which I replaced both. the sound disappeared and the machine behaves as normal except with zero pressure...
  2. Machine known faults & fixes - How To
    Only a year ago i adjusted my bbe's opv to roughly 9 bars because most of them arrive with incorrectly set opv's, and recently ive noticed the pressure dial hand slowly creeping up the dial letting more and more pressure in, is this something to be concerned about? Should i go in and readjust...
  3. Lever Forum 💪
    Hi all, I have a Pavoni Europiccola that I love and have used for many many happy years but recently the pressure has started to vary a lot. The presuure will raise to about 0.5 (just in the green), then pauses, then goes up to about 1 (the high end of green). Until a week ago (before the...
  4. Gaggia Forum
    Hi all, We had this Gaggia Classic Pro for about 2.5 years now and everything was fine but recently it started having pressure issues and I thought I'd ask on here first in case it's a known/fixable by me problem. We only use the espresso mode but when we have friends come over, they usually...
  5. La Marzocco
    Hi, i have had a LMLM fora few months now but recently i noticed an issue with the steam. The pressure (i think) just seems off. When i steam milk now, it definitely seems weaker steam, and it is not able to air-ate the milk like it used to. It just creates a very hot milk with a tiny amount of...

    I’ve had my sage/breville barista express for over two years now and I’ve used it everyday until it wasn’t used at all for about a month and a half. I went to go use it again recently. I bought fresh beans and the pressure gauge is barely moving at all. I’ve tried using the coarsest and the...
  7. Gaggia Forum
    For those of you with dimmers on your classics, what's your preferred recipe/technique? I installed the Shades of Coffee dimmer a month ago (highly recommended, very straightforward to install and works perfectly with the SoC pressure gauge). I've been grinding much finer than I used to (niche...
  8. Rancilio Forum
    Hi. My Rancilio Silvia still makes great coffee but for some reason there has been a big loss in pressure from the steam wand. I've tried taking bits apart, cleaning with pipe cleaners etc but no joy. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
  9. Lelit Forum
    My Mara PL62 started sending a lot of water back to the tank, the tank got very hot, and thus the pump started often as well. I thought this had to be the 2way solenoid valve and replaced this now. There is still some smaller amount of water leaking to the tank when not operational, but less...
  10. Sage Forum
    Hi Guys, I'm in need of some advice on what direction in repairs I should take, I got this sage coffee machine that doesn't have any pressure through both single and double shots, well the single shot seems to move the needle but nowhere above the pre-infusion lines, water does come out but...
  11. ECM / Profitec Forum
    Hi all, I have an ECM Technika III espresso machine that I 'service' myself. This means that I disassemble the E61 group, clean everything and put it back together. After that I usually descale using cleaning vinegar. After the last time I did this, I cannot get a decent pressure anymore. Using...

    View Advert Vesuvius V10 Pressure Profile For a limited time we are going to offer a Vesuvius at bargain price. Due of Covid worst time ever we are thinking to sell some unit at lowest price in order to play with an unique machine at the same price as a simple dual boiler. The machines...
  13. Gaggia Forum
    Hi all! I mounted my pressure gauge to my portafilter to my Gaggia Classic 2002 today because I wanted to adjust the opv valve. I have tried as best as I can to turn the screw of the head of the opv valve, but I found out it to be stuck. No matter the force applied I could not get it to...

    This will allow you to accurately adjust the OPV pressure on your Gaggia Classic is similar. Remove the spout on your PF and this attaches in its place. Fit the PF, but brew switch, and read the pressure output. I used regularly on my Gaggia to adjust pressure up and down for different...

    Hello, Iam new to this witch espresso machines. I got my hands on a old La cimbali m31 bistro. When I got it didn't work at all. But I took it apart and cleaned everything out, fixed the pump cleaned the boiler and more. Now I got it to work, but still some problems. 1. In the video you...
  16. Sage Forum
    Hello everyone, I recently bought a Sage Barista Express and the gauge goes a bit crazy when I do single shots, I'd like to understand if this is an issue on my end or if I should send it in service. I will attach a video. I understand that the gauge can go too low or too high due to various...
  17. Sage Forum
    I'm not clear why Sage designed these machines to run at a higher pressure than most - it must have been a deliberate thing but I'm not sure what the benefit was supposed to be. Anyway, a few days ago the tank on my BE happened to run dry in the middle of a shot and I lost pressure. I had some...

    Today, I measured the brew water temperature and spring pressure of my lever machine with homemade devices I put together. But now, I want to check that I have the right readings. It occurs to me that if I could repeat the measurements with a Space 2 Thermofilter, I could work out if I need to...

    Hello I am seeing that I can extract coffes with 5bar, or ranging slowly (ramp) from 2 to 8 bar, and in both case the coffee are good. I wonder, (sorry for the stupid question) why 9 bar 23 28 sec, is considered a standard. If a coffe is done with 4 bar on a Rossi group (may be that makes...
