  1. Barista Skills for the home enthusiast
    I've just swapped my faulty Sage DB for a ECM Mechanika VSlim. No matter what I try I can't get a decent microfoam. I haven't really had a problem since before I fitted a Silva wand to my Gaggia classic back in 2011. I've always used skimmed milk and had various machines with much success...

    Hi all I finally decide to get an engineer out to service and repair my Cherub, which I bought new in January 2014. I contacted Francino to get an engineer out, I couldn't travel to Brum and stay with it. When I gave them the serial number they said it was 6 years old and they could only...

    At the moment I have a Francino Cherub which is laid up due to needing a service and a few minor faults. I'm resorting to using a nespresso thingy at the moment.

    My 4 Year old Cherub has overheated a couple of times in the last few months, presumably setting off the pressure relief valve. Does it maybe need a service? Gaz

    After my recent mishaps with Miss Silvia I decided, actually SWHTPS (she who holds the purse strings) decided to buy a cherub. When it arrived and I saw the size of the box I thought it would never fit on the worktop, but it does. So machine unpacked, sticky plastic covering peeled off...

    Hi All On switching the machine on it trips the house RCD circuit, I whipped the top off and can't see anything obvious, all connections clean no condensation etc. I suspect the heating element after searching old posts is this a possibility and whats the viability of changing it ( Bear in...
