Hi there everyone,
I took a risk on an auction and bought an expresso machine (cimbali m28) secondhand with no service history. I have no prior knowledge or experience with these machines.
I did some research however and began to set it up, where I am situated I can't use tap water, so Im using bottled water (gravity feed). I started up machine and to my surprise she started filling water nicely and then heating was no problem, once pressure dial reached 1.2 bar (in the green) I started checking steam wands and hotwater which all were working fine. But once I pressed the pour buttons I found it wasn't timed, water would flow out of both heads until I pressed the stop button.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to adjust pour timing on these machines, and recently I found the water pump (i think) starting and stopping erratically.
Also there seem to be some electrical components missing when I removed the cup tray ontop to look inside.
There are disconnected wires and the green and red indicators aren't working as they are disconnected too.
Will this cause problems?
Will be getting a grinder soon so I can start brewing, hopefully things will be ok.
