    So I decided to put the old gasket back on the element for now to see if that works as at least it fits in the recess. The machine isn't plumbed into the mains water supply yet so I filled up the boiler with water from a bottle until the sight gauge said it was about 3/4 full. There was a slight...

    Do you put anything on your gaskets when you fit them? I thought I'd use the old safety and Eddy valves for now and just fire it up to see if things worked but as soon as I started to fill up the boiler it leaked from the new element gasket so I was wondering should I have put some sort of...

I believe that...

    Hi Everyone I have just been given my first real coffee machine and not sure where to start. It Is a Astoria AEP.1J but am struggling to actually find things online about it. The person that gave me it said it stood for quite a while when they moved houses and when they plumbed it back in it...

    Hi from sunny Cornwall (whom am I kidding it rains most days ;)) Long-time drinker of coffee, black obviously, wouldn't want to spoil it by putting milk in it. Used to use coffee shops until lockdown and then bought a very cheap machine from Argos and was bitten by the bug of making my own...
