Re: Sunbeam Cafe Aromatic (EM5800) Problems
For those that need to replace the PF head seal (what ever you call it) Krups have just upgraded theirs and it fits the Sunbeam ones (3600 and the 4800 for eg) and assming that it will do the 5800 as well.
You may need to confirm, but I understand it is MS-6230342 and it has an extra lip that helps to seal if and when the preasure builds up... Thus reducing the likley hood of a leak or a blow off that some of us have had after the seals get old or we push ther limits of our machines.

.... The grinder (for what its worth) is an EM0480, but thats not really the thing that concerns me too much - Im pretty sure the problem stems from the ill-fitting basket/pf combo. Id assume that the problem will only get worse over time as the seal degenerates. Im not sure if that was mahaharis problem too, but might as well throw it out there...
. With regard to the Krupps baskets, a lot of people have had great success using these with a variety of Sunbeam machines and surmising that the grinder is up to scratch, it should be relatively simple to dial the new baskets in for good quality pours.... I would have thought so anyway :-?. Im not familiar with the particular machine in question as such, just trying to elicit some extra information from mahahari so that we can be more helpful.... In a general sense from my perspective and hopefully in more detail from people such as yourself v99, which you have already done. Its still a bit hitnmiss though without confirmation about the grinder being used.
but if i was to replace the existing double basket that came with the 5800 with one that has been mentioned in this thread (i.e. unpressurised/krups style double basket) would I need to change the group handle or is the original one supplied with the machine ok?
