  • Saeco Via Venezia Service

    After 3 years of use Im thinking about giving my Via Venezia a really good service.  Ive taken it apart a few times - mostly recently after I bought a IChallange grinder and given it a really good clean.  Then removed the pressurised parts out of the PF and started to make amazing coffee.

    Ive been quoted over $100 for a service and I really cant see why this is necessary OR what they would actually do.  I can clean the shower screen, pf seal and put cleaner through the machine.  What else is there to do?

    Does anyone have advice?  Is the general clean good enough?  Am I missing something?

    PS.  Can I put a PID on this machine ... justing thinking of the fun that I can have (or time wasted)?  Other option is to start roasting

      Thanks SD, Ill just update my details

      Ive made a custom tamper with a mate with a metal lathe. Its made of steel (not stainless) and is a little small but I have a 30 cm piece of 60mm stainless bar (weight of 7kg) which was picked up for me by a mate at work for $30. I will be turning that into a fantastic tamper very soon! With heaps of ss left over.

      I think that Ill be stopped bringing it back on the flight - I was with the last one.

      Now on the hunt for a BM to turn into a correto
