Hi all connoisseurs,
I've been seeing a bit of a problem with my Sunbeam EM7000 and I hope to get some enlightenment on the matter.
I've had the machine for little over 3 years with light use (usually 1 coffee a day from it). Since about a year ago, I noticed that I can only brew one shot a day. With the same ground, the first shot goes through fine, but the second shot just won't pull through (it looks like the machine doesn't have enough pressure to push it through). Is this something I can fix at home or it's a sign that the boiler is about to go? Since then, I have just restricted myself to one shot (usually a dual basket) a day and still lasted me a year.
Only very recently, I am not able to pull my shot unless I firmly hold onto the group handle as it brews, otherwise the group handle will be forced out explosively during the brewing process. Does that sound like the group seal just needs a replacement? I've never replaced in the past, so I'm not too sure if that is indeed the problem.
Or the alternative is just to get a Breville
.
I think these problems may be trivial for someone that has more experience with machines, but unfortunately I am not one of them. If anyone can shed some light on these couple of issues, that would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Brendan
