Re: Anyone know the BEZZERA DEB-3000 MP Compact Coffee Machine?
offer him $150 and take it. If the boiler is auto-filling correctly, then that likely means the control board is working and the pump and motor are certainly working.
If the pump turns on when you hit a button on the touchpad but no water comes through the group heads, it most likely means a blockage somewhere, and that it requires disassembly and descaling, a 1hr job not including soaking time if you know what youre doing.
Either that or one of the 3way vales or solenoids is dead ($30 per solenoid or $50 per 3way valve, hardly a huge investment)
That being said, in perfect refurbished condition, it will never be worth more than 5 or 600$ on the 2nd hand market.

Re: Anyone know the BEZZERA DEB-3000 MP Compact Coffee Machine?
Thanks Attilio,
A very comprehensive list of considerations there muchly appreciated!
I was thinking few a lot of these today but good to have it spelled out. The bloke tested it for me today and it turned on and the pump came on to fill the boiler but no water through the groups :-[
Really I just want a project, but if Im going to pour a lot of time( and most likely a fair bit of cash) into a machine, it would be good to have something at the end that was a decent machine. More thinking to do and more questions, thanks again

Re: Anyone know the BEZZERA DEB-3000 MP Compact Coffee Machine?
Dont know anything about the model however:
Only you can decide whether it is "worthwhile" depending on what you mean by the word.
If you mean can you do it up and then sell for a profit then in all certainty...probably not.
If you mean will you get any satisfaction out of turning this into a project....up to you.
If you mean after it is done up, will it make better quality coffee than many modern, much smaller and easier to place in a domestic situation semi commercial espresso machines.....probably not.
Will it give you satisfaction doing the project, its susequent use & in the ownership of said old espresso machine...up to you.
Will it give bragging rights (mines bigger than yours)....up to you
Should you trust someone that tells you that an aged, ex commercial espresso machine which is not hooked up and therefore cant be checked, ....is "apparently working..."????????? Up to you.
How many times have I heard similar comments that turned out to be....."not strictly correct"...plenty
Is it complete and therefore not requiring the provision of some expensive parts that will blow the budget right out of the water before a spanner is even turned????......dont know.
Will you be able to do it up cheaply or will it cost a lot....dont know see above;
Is it worth anything as an "antique" coffee machine.....I dont think so but you and others might see some value in it.
Do you want a coffee machine now, or a project with no coffee for a while.....up to you.
This reply only to make sure that if you go into this, you go in with your eyes wide open to all possibilities.
