I have a model (Delonghi BAR 140 L'Espresso) that we never used, but I would like to find parts to it, because I'm missing the handle that contains the basket for the grounds. How would I go about doing that? I can't find anything on their website.

I DON'T THINK YOU ARE GETTING A GOOD SEAL ON THE PORTAFILTER . YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO COFFEE AROUND THE EDGES AND EVRYTIME YOU ARE DONE BREWING RUN SOME WATER INTO A CUP WITHOUT THE PORTAFILTER IN PLACE .

check the water temp and make sure the grind is not to fine. if both of these checkout ok then it may be a weak pump. you will have to find a replacement pump.

Hi
Your brew head gasket is leaking and needs to be replaced. remove everything and turn the machine on its top. Look ate the brew head inside there is a black gasket and it should be clean and flat. If its cut or curled it needs to be replaced. Not cleaning the brew head will cause this gasket to be cut and after a while it will curl and not seal.
