Hi CSers
Up for sale is my Isomac Zaffiro. It's about 11 years old. Originally bought from Di Bartoli in Bondi NSW.
Note: Unfortunately it has developed a pin hole leak in the boiler and has started weeping water when used in steam mode. I plugged the hole up with a non-toxic metal epoxy which held up fine for the past few weeks but upon checking recently it looks like it has starting to weep again.
I have bought a new machine and moved on from trying to fix this. The machine still turns on and all functions i.e. thermostats, pump etc work fine but it looks like the boiler either needs welding/soldering or replacement. Whilst I had it apart I replaced the heater element gasket with a new teflon one (because I originally thought this had failed) and upgraded the lights to the new metal surround ones from the higher model Isomac machines. The machine has had a good clean and polish also. Surprisingly there was minimal scale build up in the boiler or on the element (see pics).
It would make an easy restoration project for someone who is handy. These are great temperature stable espresso machines that heat up quickly and produce great espresso and have very capable steam for milk based drinks.
