Machine needs to be rebuilt with new gaskets. We do this repair
www.dolcevitaespresso.com

Hi there,
I am a domestic coffee machine engineer based in Glasgow, Scotland and i service, repair and refurbish these machines on a daily basis. You will probably find that the gaskets which are holding the sightglass in place are completely solid and resemble a hard plastic like gasket. There will definately be gaskets there as if not the sightglass would rattle about and the water would pour straight out. It depends on which sight glass nuts you have but if they are the clear plastic nuts you will find either black, white or clear gaskets underneath and if the nuts are metal then you should see brass washers first and then the gaskets underneath the washers. These are easily replaced and can be purchased from our website www.theespressoshop.co.uk I hope this helps and if you have any further questions or queries then please do not hesitate to get in touch at [email protected]

Normally on lever machines the top seal sits with the cup area(slash in gasket) facing up and the bottom facing down.

I have the breakdown of a gaggia achille it is similar to the model that you have I will attach.

If the machine works great after the first cup then it is possible that the heat for your first espresso went to heating the portafilter or the cup used to brew into, try warming the portafilter first by running some hot water through it first.

1. in the boiler water is heated and presured up to 1.5 bar
2. when water gets in lever and non return valve closes becouse you press the lever down, your energy is used to get high pressure, it should be frpm 7 up to 9 bar.
3. SOLUTION==if you search way for modifying, you must consider that you must pump directly to group, not to boiler. in this case water will be cold (becouse comes from pump). you will need boiler in boiler to heat the water wich comes from pump before it gets to group. this is bit more complicated than you thought may bee but it is only solution.
