Hi Coffee Snobs!
Thanks for all the info posted previously - it's been helpful, but unfortunately I've got a problem I haven't found a solution to just yet.
I'm thinking it might be the main coffee water pump failing - but to be honest I have no idea.
A week ago the machine started making a high frequency buzzing noise and since then I've had intermittent pressure drops.
Often the first extraction from the machine after turning it on will be fine (video one), but the second is no bueno. No pressure, dripping, occasionally it'll come good(ish) like in the second video. The beans were ground at the same time and are from the same fresh batch of Dramanti beans. Bag only opened minutes before these vids. The tamp is the same. Nothing really changed.
Anyone experienced this problem before or got any ideas what it could be?
I'd love to find an easy fix for this because it was purchased off gumtree as an unwanted prize from a gloria jeans store. Warranty will be a nightmare, but possibly doable.
I should also add that I gave the 3 month old machine a thorough cleaning for the first time today with cleaning tablets and descaling solution which made no difference. It wasn't that dirty.
Much appreciated!
Working well.
Failing. Notice it cuts out at the 1min mark just before I hit the manual button to put it out of its' misery. Hence it restarting.
