Hi guys,
this is my first post in this great forum
Yesterday, in the basement, I found an old Faema Family coffee machine + the Grinder, this model:

The coffee machine:
I cleaned all the tubes, removed the calcium....and it seems that it works very good!
At the end, I did a coffee and it was amazing :-)
But there is a problem, I noticed that the second lamp (the steam) never switch off....... I suppose that there is a problem with the Thermostat; in fact, the hot water that came out....was very very very hot!!
Yesterday, in order to avoid to damage the machine, I preferred to power off.
My first question is: what is the Thermostat model/type (temperature degree) that I can use/replace?
The Grinder:
This machine made me crazy!!
There is a problem with the Coffee Bean Container! It seems to be completely stuck!
I tried to move it clockwise and anticlockwise, tried to pull up (with two pliers) from the grinder motor...but no luck, at the end I stopped myself to avoid to damage it.
Also, I noticed that it's not possible to un-mount the grinder because the Ground coffee Container is fixed to the machine with two screws located properly under the Coffee Been Container....and if I don't remove this first, it's impossible to open the grinder!
Any idea?
In normal condition: is it possible to pull up/remove the coffee bean container from the machine/motor?
How can i proceed to fix it?
Thank you very much for any suggestions and help!!
Alberto
