Re: Issue with Giotto Evo
Thanks for the advice Den.
The use has been mild-moderate. 2-4 a day, then 6-8 on weekends. Water is filtered with a bombora bench top system.Originally posted by 60414A4A4D57240 link=1338809229/1#1 date=1338814688Its a little unusual to have this happen in the first year, though may be dependent on water quality and the amount of use the machine has had.
This is the second seal on the machine that will need replacing. :-?

Re: Issue with Giotto Evo
Hi Joe
It sounds like some of the seals that are in the group head at various points have perished. If you take a look at the group head assembly diagram on: http://www.espressocompany.com.au/spare-parts/ROCKET-CATALOGUE-13.03.09.pdf youll get an idea of what I mean.

Issue with Giotto Evo
Hi all,
Experiencing a new problem with my Evo over the weekend, hoping to find someone here who has had the same issue on the Evo or HX equivalent.
When the lever is pulled up to start flow from the group head (no coffee/empty portafilter), for the first 5-10 seconds I am only getting a little splutter and some steam, then the flow starts. :-?
Not good.
If I stop it, and then start again straight away, no such problem. If it is left for a few mins however, we get the same issue.
Im not sure if its my imagination, but more water than usual seems to be coming out of the drain from the 3 way solenoid. It usually spurts after a shot is stopped, then drip for a few seconds, then drip very slowly for 30 seconds and stop. Now it spurts, drips, slowly drips, then a little water runs out, then slow drip, then very little dipping, then suddenly more water, and so on for a few minutes at least. Hope that makes sense. :-/
Is it the solenoid leaking, some worn seal? Could all be my imagination, and there is some other completely reasonable explanation.
Machine is still covered by warranty, and I will get it looked at, but I was hoping someone with more experience could explain what the likely cause is?
Cheers,
JoeTags: None
