Rancilio Epoca ST-1 Espresso Machine - Page 4 Questions & Answers
Steam coms out fine ..left
Sounds like the metering jet is blocked at the top of the group, or the tubes leading to the group are blocked.Either the top or the bottom one, both ends leaving the boiler and entering the group.
BITTER TASTING COFFEE
I would check the temperature of water. Sounds like it might be too hot. The temp of the water should be between 192 and 197. Colder and its sour, and hotter and its bitter.
Rancilio doesn't heat up
I had the same problem, caused when I left it on all day and night. Just need to reset the safety thermostat switch. Check out the thread http://www.home-barista.com/espresso-machines/rancilio-silvia-powered-on-but-no-heat-t3630.html
Schaerer SCP is not rinsing correctly
Check the Operating Temperature:
Ensure that the machine has reached the correct operating temperature. If it hasn't, the indicator light will be on. Wait until the machine is fully heated before proceeding.
Check for Ongoing Programs:
If a rinse or cleaning program is currently in progress, the cleaning button may be flashing. Wait for any ongoing programs to complete before trying to brew coffee.
Inspect the Brewing Unit:
Make sure the brewing unit is properly seated and not obstructed. The brew group should be in the correct position.
If the brew group overflows, it could be due to a blockage or misalignment. Remove the brew group, clean it thoroughly, and reinsert it properly.
Inspect the Coffee Spout and Drainage Area:
Check the coffee spout for any clogs or blockages. Clean it if necessary.
Examine the drainage area at the bottom of the machine. If water is running away onto the floor, there may be a leak. Inspect the drip tray and other components for leaks or damage.
Refer to the Operating Manual:
Consult the operating instructions manual for your Schaerer Coffee Club machine. If the above do not resolve your issues, you may have to contact Schaerer Services.
