    Hi, seems like the brew pump under load on my izzo whether brewing or backflushing builds up pressure and then starts to knock/oscillate between 7 and 9 bar a few times a second until it's stopped. Descaled regularly enough (did this after it started), backflush did seem to help albeit the...

    Tried removing the old manometer for brew pressure at the brass connector just on the left hand side of the boiler, but pipes seem to flex a bit even gripping the pipes with the amount of force to remove it. Any suggestions so I don't end up bending the pipes? Picture here of similar...

    Hi, got an izzo alex which normally would cut out when tank is near empty and stop pumping, sounding the alarm buzzer, but twice now it has failed to stop pumping letting the pump run near dry. Possible it's the gicar box or something else?

    This morning, brewhead pressure was stuttering between 2 bar difference quite rapidly and didn't sound great on pulling a shot, yet a backflush seemed to keep pressure fine. Guessing if it happens again, something is on its way out like the pump?

    What on earth is the doser sweep made out of, a vane snapped off and it's clearly not metal, some powdery metallic looking epoxy stuff. Presumably can only get parts from somewhere like chriscoffee in the us? Don't think i've seen this on a mazzer...

    Left the k10 for a few weeks now and found surface rust on the burrs inside. Run 200ish grams of beans through and had a go at cleaning the burrs, which seemed to get rid of the majority of it, but any ideas? Almost thinking the k10 a little bit impractical now... I guess I could get a used...

    Anyone got any suggestions for a butane burner that will sit under a cona d?

    I'm under the impression the yama is too tall for the cona d and the burner it came with had a crack in the bottom. So, options? The burner from espresso products looks smaller.

    Main thing I notice is the occasional odd clump, but looking at the burrs, I can see that some of the edges of the burrs seem a little bit deformed? See the top of the upper burrs and the bottom of the lower burrs in the pictures.

    Just curious as to whether anyone knows who would supply replacement burrs for the k10? Think coffeehit used to stock them, but not any more.

    Just wondering whether anyone who's disassembled the top of the e61 group in a hx, whether there was all of a sudden, luke warm middle part of the grouphead, but the top was its usual scolding to the touch. (Descaled and cleaned the acorn/upper filter section, all reassembled fine). Think it...

    IMHO another bargain on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gruppo-Izzo-Vivi-Espresso-Machine-/180556579026?pt=UK_BOI_Restaurant_RL&hash=item2a0a02c0d2 Gots to love that the izzo name isn't exactly widely recognised, helluva lot of kit for the moolah.

    What I can't figure out on the izzo, which has suddenly started happening is the pressurestat doesn't click off after the boiler is brought up to pressure again after steaming, instead it'll not click off at all = only way to stop it is turning it off. What I have noticed is that the manometer...
