    thanks for the replies - it's from a private seller. I had a quick squizz at the internals and it's super clean, doesn't even look as if it's even been connected. It doesn't have a tank at the mo so that would have to be a purchase. My other temporary fix/thinking was that I could sink the water...

    Hi there I have the opportunity to purchase a really clean L1. It is currently configured as a plumb in machine [with the solid top cover]. I'm currently in a rented property so would like to use it as a tank model - is it possible [and achievable] to refit the tank and obtain a top cover to...

    the bezzera has what they call [according to their schematics] a safety valve [2.5bar] and a separate drain valve on the top of the boiler unit - the drain valve has a 'floating' seal that pops up when the boiler is getting up to pressure - that had got stuck and was letting out a fair bit of...

    been lurking and using the site and forum for a while so I thought I'd say hello I'm a freelancer in London so I think I've tried nearly every decent coffee shop in the city as I go from studio to studio. Notes on Long Martin Lane being my standout shop. Like many I started off with a Gaggia...

    chhers for the help so far, I had an opportunity to explore a bit further today When I was checking the lines out of the pump this part just pulled out [no force was applied] It looks like it's snapped but I could be wrong as I know there's one or two fittings that can be held by this - seems...

    many thanks for the reply - stripped the solenoid valve and all the lines in and out, took apart the grouphead, all seem very clean. run the machine from cold with the steam wand open to avoid any airlocks. I've noticed that if I run water through the grouphead without the portafilter then...

    had a 'sticking' drain valve that I took apart and checked the seals on. I've put it back together and now there's not enough pressure to the grouphead to pour a shot. It's been descaled etc and there's plenty of steam coming out of the wand when I trun that on but deffo not enough pressure to...

    new pump arrived yesterday, ยฃ15 from ebay. Fitted last night and Betsy the Bezzera is running a treat. [it looks like the previous owner has had some weird attempt at modding the machine so didn't investigate too much further] thanks again for the advice Wayne

    Hi I have a much loved and well used Bezzera BZ99. It is regularly descaled and backflushed. The past week the water flow has been erratic and weak, I've also noticed that the grouphead is steaming way more than it normally would with the portafilter off. I'm loathe to get rid of it and was...
