Coffee Machine Specialist
Practical troubleshooting guides from the Brisbane workshop — E61, heat exchanger, and dual boiler machines.
Something has stopped working, or something needs doing before it does. These pages cover the faults and the routine maintenance we see most often on the bench — what a symptom usually means, what you can safely check yourself, and the point where it stops being a home job.
Most of what reaches our workshop was preventable. Backflushing and descaling on schedule avoids a fair share of it. If you have worked through the relevant page and the machine still is not right, book a service and we will look at it properly.
