Gday Coffeesnobs. I have been playing around with a Flymax Junior, hoping to make it suitable for a friend to use. I purchased it quite cheap. I was glad to find that it has quite similar specs to the Lelit I have as I was initially concerned about parts. The 57mm porterfilters are almost identical, and drip tray is very similar. The internals are similar too but the Flymax has the addition of a dedicated aluminium(?) steam boiler.
I fired it up and it worked fairly well but with a couple of issues:
1. After I backflushed it with cleaner there was water dripping consistently from the shower screen.
2. The lights didn't turn off to indicate it was up to heat.
I have since taken the boiler out to pull apart to check inside but have found out difficult to separate the halves.
Any insight on these issues would be appreciated.
