  • Dead Machine - Now in the market for something New

    Well I think our coffee machine at work (Azkoyen Bravo) has just blown up after a solid 10 years of dishing out coffee day to day. The Temp guage started going up to the red zone and it started to self purge, steam coming up out of the top and leaking heavily from the bottom of the machine all over the floor. I am getting someone to check it out today, but if it is bad news... I think a new machine may well be coming my way. The only bad thing is the bench space we have is pretty slim so the new one will need to have a small foot print no bigger than 400mm (Although looking at most dimensions now, it looks like I might have to build a bigger platform for it) We probably only make about 20-30 coffees on it per day for client meetings and for our own drug habits. Sometimes up to 6-8 cups at a time. So dual boiler/Heat exchange is a must for a new machine.



    ^^ The machine in its happier days.

    So I am starting to compile a list of hopefuls but if anyone has some suggestions in the meantime... holla atta boy!

    Looks to me that you need a new pressure switch. But if you looking for a reason to change machines happy to help.

      Ah cool, I have someone coming to look at it soon so hopefully something like that will be the problem. IT has had a long life though so the boss may be talked in to a new machine.

        I am with Renzo on that one Ezy,

        Id be very surprised if youre not up and running pretty much straight away and without emptying your pockets too much either.

        Good luck with the repair.

          Gday A,

          does the other A know you are on a private internet site during working hours heheheheh!

          I will give you a call shortly as we have something that should fit the dimensions this time round but you will have to forgo touchpad operation.

          Rgdz,
          A.

            Hey A.

            Its not the A or the other A you are thinking of... but if you want to call Alan when you have a moment to discuss our options. That would be awesome!

            Cheers,

            - Liam
