Our coffee machine in the office stopped working with no warning. I turn the pump on, it makes noise but not coffee. I opened it up, looked with mates and we found what looked as a dismantled flow valve, I took it out - it is made of 3 pieces and resides in the end of the upper hose connected to the _|_|_ -shaped connector. When the pump is on, it can be seen how water flows from the pump down this hose. Jamming this hose with pliers produces quite good coffee (not for long - pressure builds up and the hose jumps off the pump) so I assume other parts are more or less ok.
There are 2 pictures, one is the whole machine, the second is the spot where the valve is supposed to be and the valve itself disassembled. We think that the right bit of the valve is supposed to have some sort of a head or something, otherwise it just moves through that _|_|_ connector. Why it broke is still open question - pressure or age :-)
So. The question is - what is this part name/number (to search on ebay) and what is its purpose?
