Fracino ForumI recently bought a shower screen holder for my Fracino Cherub. It was described and sold as a OEM Fracino part, however it looks very different from the one I’m replacing with it. The colour and shape are different, and even though the past wears down with time, it’s considerably thicker...

Fracino ForumAs of yesterday, my Fracino Cherub no longer flows water through the group head. I noticed that when running the pump thr water is returned through a little valve at the top of the watertank. Could this be a blockage due to scale? Admittedly I haven’t descaled it in about a year of use, but it...

Coffee BeansHi everyone, As much as I like bright and fruity for my pourover coffee, I just don't particularly enjoy it in my daily espresso. Neither do my guests who almost always drink coffee with milk. I'm looking for a good daily driver which has a classic espresso taste profile of chocolate / nuts /...

Coffee AccessoriesHi folks! I have a mazzer mini timer - a great wee grinder that has given me excellent quality espresso grinding for about 15 years now. When grinding for filter, I usually just lift the lid off the doser and hold a little measuring cup at the chute exit to collect my grounds (I removed the...

Fracino ForumHi folks I keep having an issue with my cherub whereby I need to release air from the steam wand before the boiler can pressurise. The group seems to be already hot before I do this, so hot water is circulating, there's just no steam pressure. The machine comes on with a timer, I come to it...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹHi folks, For years I've been using the naked portafilter for brewing - my blank basket has sat in my other, spouted portafilter for my backflushing. Unbeknownst to me, over the years small amounts of water have lain stagnant inside the spouted holder, tarnishing the metal with a green...

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastHi everyone, I've recently been told that when filling a milk pitcher, you need to ensure the milk always fills to at least the start of the bottom of the spout. This has been causing problems for me, as once the milk starts to get a good roll going, it spews out. Is it really a hard and fast...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹHi everyone, On the stock fracino spouted portafilter, theres a "spatter guard" n place above the spouts, seemingly intended to prevent spray of your espresso.
