Hi All,
Im a new member to CS but long time viewer. Im no barista but actually a chef with a manageable addiction to kitchen toys. I now have two coffee machines and im keen to spend more time with them. My first machine is a Rancilio S27 which im now quite fond of. Ive recently bought a La cimbali m28 basic that i wish to restore.
The la cimbali was in need of a new element when i bought it. Ive since purchased the element and teflon gasket from coffeeparts. Ive been planning to install the part myself with help from my brother (an electrician). Im seeking advice before doing anything but cleaning the machine before installing the element. Obviously i should have a manual but any advice would be appreciated...
Well whats the hybrid part you might ask?
Ive ordered a Synesso steam wand and tip which i intend to fit onto the cimbali. From what i can tell i should be able to turn the steam valve body 180degrees to face upwards. both the cimabli and synesso parts are male threads so i should be able to find a brass female to female (reducer should the threads be different sizes) attachment and presto synesso silky milk.
Im not expecting any of the above to be straight forward but im looking forward to trying. Any advice would be great! I promise not to spare the details of my success/failures during the project.
Regards
Sam
