Starbucks Barista: Why does my portafilter does not work properly?

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:07:54 -0700

Why does my portafilter does not drain all the coffee out? I have cleaned the machine many times and taken the portafilter apart but everytime I finish making the shot and take the portafilter out there are still a lot of pressure there and a lot of remaining mixture of coffee and water.

Starbucks Barista: Brew Screen / Boiler Valve Issues-- what to do when its' stuck?

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:00:52 -0700

Recently the brew screen (screen attached to the bottom of the boiler unit screwed into the mushroom boiler valve) ended up in my portafilter. I thought, "no biggie-- just screw it back in." Well, that isn't working-- screw has somehow become too short (though it doesn't appear to be stripped or broken). Ideas? Here are mine, would love some feedback.

1. Maybe it IS slightly stripped and not catching.

2. Maybe there is an issue with my mushroom boiler valve-- went up into the machine?

2a. I cannot unscrew my mushroom boiler valve for the life of me-- tried many different times with various tools.

Suggestions before I start aimlessly buying pieces and trying to replace things? Much appreciated! ~ Stephen

Starbucks Barista: Portafilter loosens during brewing, rotates to left and leaks!

Sat, 22 Feb 2025 23:50:03 -0700

Have a problem that is occurring with increasing frequency. After I attach the portafilter to the brewhead and push the brew button (after the green light comes on) the filter and handle rotate slowly to the left and eventually the filter loosens enough that the seal to the brewhead is lost and coffee, grounds, etc. start to leak out the top of the portafilter. I am attaching the filter very firmly but that does not seem to help. I have cleaned the screens and gasket, etc....all looks to be in good order, the gasket is complete and not hardened. Have not been able to find any advice on this particular issue anywhere online. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

DeLonghi ESAM xxxx - (Different Types): water comes from steam wand not coffee spout

Sun, 14 Jan 2024 23:14:01 -0700

Hello, our DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM3300 does not discharge water from the coffee spouts. Instead, the water comes out of the steam wand. Happens even on self-clean cycle when turned on. Coffee spouts are not blocked the infuser cleaned and the machine descaled. Is it the end? Any suggestion?

Saeco Coffee Maker: Grinder has no power

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 10:52:18 -0700

Royal Professional, grinder stopped working. It has no power, it must be an electrical problem. Everything else works fine. The question is simply: do I need t replace the control board, the power board, or both? A subquestion: can I test to see which one needs replacing or if there is another reason?

Keurig Elite: What is the right type of MOV converter capacitor as it blowed up?

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 01:33:05 -0700

I bought Keurig K- Elite from Costco and took back to Singapore. The converter capacitor/ varistor blowed up with mistakenly plugging 220v directly.

Can anyone help advise on the replacement part number as no clear marks can be distinguished from this burned one? Thanks.

BTW. I already bought a 110-220V converter to be ready after Keurig fix.

Siemens Surpresso Compact: Bean+ and s button blinking in alternation

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 05:46:42 -0700

My machine broke a few days ago, water was running through instead of coffee, despite it still grinding the beans. So it seems something is wrong with the brewing unit. I tried taking it apart (with help of all the great guides on here) and checked the drainage valve, cleaned the machine and took the brewing unit out and ran cold water through it. Nothing seems to have helped and now when I plug it in, the ‘bean+’ button and ‘s’ button blink in alternation and it doesn’t react to me pressing any button. I noticed that I couldn’t really seem to click the brewing unit properly into place (although I lock the handle, I can still pull it out). Do I have to connect the brewing unit to the water supply somehow? Many thanks for the help!
