    When I refurbed my machine I used heated citric and recirculated it with a pump. The results were very good, although a chisel and a big hammer were involved

    This any help?

    Hi, I bought a very badly-scaled BZ02s a while back. I posted here about the refurb that I did; I split the boiler to speed things up. A few things I learned were that citric works fine, especially warm (thermodynamics, innit), that impact drivers1 are much kinder to tight threads than...

    My BZ02s is a ground (non-pod) version. As far as I know there's nothing in the model number that identifies it so; perhaps the serial number does. I'm in the process of converting a BZ99 from pod to bean. The previous owner hadn't been told it was a pod machine and had used it with ground...

    I'm driving to Boddies car park, then getting the tram to Pomona. Old Trafford environs at chucking-out time makes for very tedious driving, especially on Trafford Road and M602, so probably heading home mid-match. Looking forward to a good day:)

    Use penetrating oil as above; however, rather than going all Arnie at it with a socket set, see if you can borrow a little impact driver (one of the Li battery jobbies, a bit like a miniature power drill). There'll be way less impulse (torque x time) applied to the fasteners and consequently...

    ... which is very close to ManCoCo on Hewitt Street.. (may be closed on Saturday , tho'). Enjoy the meet! Sorry we can't make it.

    TBH I don't know. This BZ02 is the only machine I've ever had (except a psychopathic Europiccola) so I don't know how others operate. The element is switched on if the following statements are all true: mains power is on via main power switch, pressure stat is on (ie boiler pressure is under...

    No, one of the silicone tubes is the OPV bleed (from the OPV). It just dumps into the water reservoir. The other does a similar thing from the other valve. I don't (wish I did) know the functiion of this valve. The water filter on mine is a film-canister sized jobbie with a tube that connects...

    Is the unconnected female spade on the end of the black wire? If so, I think it's the supply to the heater (see the 6mm male spade connector just south of the thermal cut-out block). My guess is that the heater element is shorting to earth, tripping the RCD, and somebody has been poking around...

    Well done! I got one off the 'bay in a horrible state from a pub a few years ago. After a lot of work and some time on here finding how to drive it, it's producing lovely coffee. They're very well-documented on t'interweb. Indeed, I have a refurb thread about mine on here somewhere. I'm sure...

    Thanks for your effforts, Ron. I, for one, have benefited

    The first bag of these I started about a week after they arrived here. At first they did have the ashy, indeed burnt taste that others describe; however, this had gone within a few days and there was nice, complex spiciness. Best results for me were from a slightly cooler extraction (which in my...

    I'll pass on this next round. The 2 roasts we've had so far have been amazing so it's time to let someone else enjoy the fun. Thanks to the 3 roasters, but more so to Milanski and Ron for their efforts:) 1 - ronsil 2 - Johnealey 3 - Mr O 4 - jonners 5 - chockymonster 6 - paul whu 7 -...

    Interesting. They're much more complicated than the last lot (Baytown -- smacked 'round the back of the head with a cricket bat of Green & Black's -- lovely): subtle, less-dark start, several flavours vying for attention later, then a hint of the spicy aftertaste that I'm looking for...

    OSB = oriented strand board. Very hardy sheeting, a bit like plywood but vv cheap and can be made to look quite nice.
