Hey all,
First post here so I apologise if this is in the wrong place.
I just purchased a Sunbeam EM7000 second hand after spending a few months trying to convince the minister of finance (the wife) that it is a good investment.
We picked it up today, and I quickly tested out the steam wand and to see if water was being produced through the head (with no grind) at the persons house, after paying for it, and then tried to use it, I'm pretty heartbroken.
I've encountered the following faults:
- Water leaking under the machine when trying to extract a shot.
- Hot water nozzle does not work, instead water pulses from the head.
- Whatever I do, I cannot extract a single shot from either the single head or double head (this is also where the water leaks from the bottom).
- Pressure is not rising on the gauge.
The shot itself is very sloppy after inspecting. The beans I'm using are freshly roasted from Java Lifestyle and I've tried both a course and fine grind to no avail. I've tried tampering hard, and softly with no luck.
I would really be appreciative if someone could point me in the right direction here.
Thank you,
