Hello,
This is my first post to CoffeeSnobs and Im a coffee newby so please go easy on me !
I have recently acquired a Bezzera BZ35 which Im trying to get working.
As you can see from the photos it has a rotary pump and volumetric controls.
The problem that stumped me is that there is little or no water coming from the group. :-?
Everything else seems to work successfully:
It is filling and can suck water out of a container or from mains pressure.
It is heating correctly
It is steaming well
It can supply boiler water fine.
When I press any of the coffee dispensing buttons, the light comes on, the pump runs, I hear a solenoid click but only a dribble of water comes out of the group.
The very first time I pressed one of the dispensing buttons, water did come out but no longer does. I have tried backflushing, but there is nothing happens.
I have checked that the group shower screen is not blocked which it isnt. The machine is in need of a really good clean !
As Im new to coffee machines (but fairly technical) Id really appreciate a list of things I should check.
Thanks
Cheers
Scott
