  2. Alex Duetto Forum
    Hi all, I know this area is for the duetto but it's the closest I could find for posting this. I am looking at two specific second hand machines a francino Cherub and a Alex izzo mark 2 hx but I am struggling to decide which one to get. The Izzo is a non-pid version so spec-wise both the...

    Hi all, so I've just been to look at a secondhand cherub, the general condition is great and what a lovely looking machine it is. The chap has had it in storage for the last 4 years or so, got it out and setup just before I arrived and it turns out there is an issue with it. Turn on the right...

    Hi everyone! I've been a dormant member of these forums for some time now, I thought I'd share my setup. I've had a Fracino Cherub since 2010, which has brought me excellent coffees daily ever since. I've had a Mazzer Mini since then also. The little cloth placemat is to boost the...

    Bought from this very forum, in 2016. He was two years old then, so by my calculations that makes him 6. Ah bless. These are commercial grade machines that are built like tanks - it has recently been serviced by Fracino who marvelled at the condition and said 'these aren't usually meant for...

    Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while, the community in general has been really useful in my coffee journey so far! I recently bought a Sage Barista Express, while it's a really good machine and makes a nice espresso (after some tweaking!) it's only 4 months old and already broken. I...

    I just started descaling my cherub as I thought my problem was likely to be caused by loose scale. But I noticed that when I filled the water tank with descaler and switched on to fill the boiler, it aborted with the low water alarm. Now, this is not unusual - in the past it has always timed...

    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...
  13. Fracino Forum
    Hi, I'm after a bit of advice about my Cherub. It has been out of action for a few months while I moved house. When I finally got round to sorting the machine out and making my first coffee I found that no water would come out of the group head. The steam wand and hot water tap work fine, and...

    Mazzer Mini (£100). I believe this is a 2011 model (based on serial number as photographed). It's been modded as photographed (I did not perform them so not sure what they are. I think there is a sweeper mod + whatever has been done to the middle.). Gaggia Classic (£100). This is one of the...

    Hey all, I know there is plenty of discussion on Citric Acid previously and have looked at these, however, just want to see if people had any direct recommendations. There are loads of variants and versions of this on eBay etc, however, none of which have any real info on concentrations. So...
